After a hard day’s ride along the coast of Brest, all you want to do is warm up and rest up for the next day, which promises to be just as sporty. The choice of hotel is not insignificant: your sleep dictates your day. With its unique landscape, you’ll be able to stay with a view of the Atlantic Ocean.
