Hôtel Barrière Le Royal La Baule 5

HOTEL DESCRIPTION

Barrière Le Royal La Baule 5* is a prestigious beachfront hotel on the Atlantic coast, just a three-hour drive from Paris.

The hotel’s interiors, designed by Chantal Peyrat, reflect a refined coastal ambiance with shades of sand and sea. Spacious rooms and suites blend modern comfort with timeless elegance.
