Philosophy

The spirit of traditional hospitality is alive and well. Well-being, simplicity, a smile and a sense of home: in every gesture, we show how pleased we are to host our guests.
In the past, travellers came to the guesthouse for a meal, a bed, and a rest between stages of their journey. Today’s guests, on the other hand, come to enjoy a break from their busy lives. This more contemporary experience is a necessity in modern society: we need to take time to rekindle our vital links to the world around us, reconnect with nature, and reorient ourselves through what is simple and authentic.

Every moment spent here increases the feeling of reconnection with the best of what our natural and social environments have to offer, from the restaurant to the garden and the bistrot, and from the bakery to the coastal paths criss-crossing the landscape.
We are fortunate to live and work in an untouched natural setting with an incredible variety of fauna and flora. We can help to conserve and work sustainably with our environment, which is one of the wildest in France.

We can learn to re-energise through nature; to eat what nature offers us; to heal through nature; and to create harmonious human collaborations with nature. The environment here contains everything we need to create a sustainable ecosystem.

Drawing on the natural strength of the region, adapting to our times and meeting social challenges, as Jeanne-Yvonne did before us, we’re forging a path towards a new model.

A model that re-invents our profession and re-imagines our business, adapts our buildings, creates new collaborations and changes our habits, all in the name of harmonising our human activity and the environment.

Presentation

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. La Butte is a way of life that we shape on a daily basis through our experiences and collective learning.

Ours is a continuing family history. Nicolas works in the Michelin-starred restaurant, while his brother Erwan manages the bistrot. Our ecosystem thrives in the harmonious atmosphere created by Solène, who unites all the elements.

La Butte is also a place where our colleagues are free to express themselves. We believe that people have incredible potential when their imagination is given free rein. Our colleagues are free to be spontaneous, to exercise their curiosity and to experiment. This process is at its best when it comes to collaborating on new creations.

What they are looking for

The operation of the establishment is guaranteed thanks to their skills in different trades. With a quality of work representative of the Butte, they are perfectly organised, reactive and have a sense of service! They and their team work in complete safety.

Good to know

For the rooms, we decided to begin by transforming our ecosystem rather than launching any major construction. One of our first actions was to change our welcome products, a key feature of all hotel rooms.

Our work on sourcing led us to a local soapmaker who produces cosmetic products using local plants with wonderful qualities.

All of our products are now bulk-packaged in elegant reusable dispensers, or are in solid form, like all-natural vinegar shampoo.
