You'll never guess where I'm going this summer!

While some head to Biarritz or La Baule, others leave the beaten path and prefer to explore new places.

01 - Next stop: Meung-sur-Loire! Can you pronounce the name of this town?

The Best Western Hôtel La Porte des Châteaux sits near the Renaissance châteaux, in the heart of the Loire Valley. So far, nothing strange. The pronunciation of the town where it stands, however, is more unexpected: “Meung-sur-Loire”.

No, no, don’t insist — we will not give you any more clues here!

You will discover its pronunciation at the same time as you stay at the Best Western Hôtel La Porte des Châteaux. A few kilometres from Orléans – 1h15 from Paris – you will enjoy a lush setting in the town château’s park adjoining our 3-star hotel, and a comfortable room with a modern, warm décor. From Meung-sur-Loire, you can easily reach the various Loire châteaux: Chambord, Blois, Cheverny, Amboise, Azay-le-Rideau and Chenonceau are only a few minutes by car. Visiting them, you will walk in the footsteps of the kings of France. And if you prefer to cycle or paddle, the nearby Loire will be your playground! Learn to pronounce the name of Meung-Sur-Loire

02 - Can you locate La Teste-de-Buch on the map of France?

For this question, the suspense will be short-lived! Indeed, the answer lies in the name of our establishment: the Best Western Plus Hôtel Design & Spa Bassin D’Arcachon. If you had never heard of La Teste-de-Buch, you no doubt know its famous sand dune: the Dune du Pilat. At its summit, you will enjoy an unbeatable view of Cap Ferret, the forest and the Banc d’Arguin. After the climb, the town centre of La Teste-de-Buch, its oyster harbour and its large market will delight you without hesitation! And when, at the end of an intense day, you feel the need to pamper yourself — among whirlpools, hammam and massages — you can treat yourself to a relaxing break at the Spa of the 4-star Best Western Plus Hôtel Design & Spa Bassin. Finally, you will slip into a queen-size bed to dream of the adventures of the days to come!

03 - Greetings from Ploubazlanec!

This time, there is no possible doubt about the geographical location of our hotel Best Western Plus Hôtel Les Terrasses de Brehat in Ploubazlanec. Indeed, it is located in Brittany, and more precisely in the Côtes-d’Armor. But can you guess the name of its inhabitants?

– The Ploubazlanéciens?
– The Ploubazlanécains?
– The Ploubazlanécois?

The right answer is number 2! The inhabitants of this small marina are the Ploubazlanécains.

During your Breton stopover at the Best Western Plus Hôtel Les Terrasses de Brehat, you will face the English Channel, in the bay of St-Brieuc. In this exceptional setting, you will relax by the pool, at the Spa or on the hotel’s panoramic terrace. When you feel ready to set off on an outing, you can take one of the many hiking trails to discover the diversity of Ploubazlanec’s inland landscapes. You will also need to stop near the emblematic Tour de Kerroc’h, from which you take in the bay of Paimpol. And if the call of the open sea is stronger, you can head to the landing stage opposite the hotel. Aboard a Vedette, you will weigh anchor to sail towards the Bréhat archipelago and its fascinating pink rocks. A complete change of scenery guaranteed!
