"A place for sharing and inspiration, connected to nature and making people feel good—we really need places like that!" — Solène

AT ONE WITH THE ELEMENTS

This is the striking impression given by this site, perched on a butte overlooking the sea in the heart of the northern Finistère plains.

Here, the salt spray, wind, waves, shoreline, sun, moon, flora and fauna are palpable forces. Their vital energy affects all of us, opening our hearts to a singular wild environment and this unique marriage of land and sea.

Here, we extend an open invitation to participate in a social and environmental initiative that deeply re-examines how we serve food, provide hospitality and create social spaces.

Welcome to La Butte

A NEW AWARENESS

Solène and Nicolas are travellers. Piqued by curiosity to explore the world, understand its diversity, and draw inspiration from its cultures and cuisines, they spent time travelling the four corners of the earth until the moment their eyes were opened to a new awareness.

Experience La Butte

Experience La Butte

A site with a history

The history of La Butte was exceptional right from the start.

It all began in 1952 when Solène’s grandmother Jeanne-Yvonne decided to take her life in a new direction. She was a woman ahead of her time, leaving farm life to open a guesthouse despite society frowning on this sort of feminine initiative. Her taste for a challenge and her fighting spirit laid the cornerstones of La Butte.

If La Butte were a person, she would be a Breton woman like Jeanne-Yvonne: passionate, visionary and independent. She would have the gentleness of a welcoming and protective mother who feeds and comforts, and shares and transmits her knowledge of nature and love of life.

We like to think of our guests as a family who feel at home here, just as they would in the house of a caring mother. From Jeanne-Yvonne’s original guesthouse, we have inherited this spirit of hospitality.

Bistrot

Inspired by old-time cafés, our bistrot embodies the modern northern Finistère spirit that we love.

In this lively, open, diverse space, Breton tradition rubs shoulders with contemporary life. Farmers mingle with surfers, kite surfers and hikers; children at play run between grandparents’ legs; and all the world’s languages can be heard as guests share a platter, a brunch, or a druid-inspired herbal tea.
