Take a refreshing dip in the hotel's heated outdoor pool (open from early April to late September, weather permitting). You can also relax in the jacuzzi, which is open year-round.
Enjoy the sauna or take part in one of the hotel's cooking and wine classes. Explore the surrounding area with a bike ride, or play golf at one of 13 courses located within an hour's drive. Plan an excursion to Bordeaux, Saint-Émilion and the surrounding vineyards, Arcachon and the Dune of Pilat (Europe's tallest sand dune), the Médoc, or Libourne.
The cuisine focuses on purity: one main ingredient combined with three flavors that enhance the fresh, vibrant notes of the dish. Fruit and vegetables play a key role in every creation.
We advise you to dress in a casual chic way.
Start the day with a generous quality breakfast in the restaurant or on the terrace in nice weather. Gourmet restaurant ‘Le Saint-James’ serves creative dishes from an open kitchen. The restaurant is open for dinner from Tuesday to Saturday. We recommend booking in advance.
