This recognition is especially meaningful to us, as it honors the spirit that has guided our journey from the very beginning — blending environmental consciousness, family heritage, and the unique Breton art of living.

🛠️ An eco-responsible approach at the heart of our gîtes

Since restoring our old family farm, we've embraced an environmentally conscious approach — favoring bio-sourced materials, repurposing cherished heirlooms, and incorporating second-hand or lovingly restored furniture. Each room tells its own story: that of our grandparents, our discoveries, and our shared desire to offer a place that's both heartfelt and genuine. While modern comfort is part of the experience, it remains carefully attuned to the soul of the house.

🍃 A place between land, sea and memory

Nestled on the Iroise coast, just 400 meters from the sea, La Grange Neuve opens onto breathtaking views of the ocean and the iconic peaks of Finistère. Good Travel celebrates our dedication to traditional architecture, the gentle elegance of natural materials, our preference for local craftsmanship, and our support for environmental efforts such as Eaux et Rivières de Bretagne.
