A home away from home
Welcome to Saint Joachim, more precisely the island of Fédrun, in the heart of the Brière marshes. Our village, with its thatched cottages, could be the setting for Asterix and Obelix or Snow White. Our hotel is a little piece of paradise with 15 rooms that you will never want to leave.
A haven of tranquility
The Mare aux Oiseaux is in an ideal location between Saint-Nazaire, La Baule and Guérande. A beautiful setting nestled on an island, in the middle of nature, far from the bustle of the city. Here, everything is conducive to rest and relaxation. The perfect getaway for nature lovers, but also city-dwellers from Paris, Nantes, Lyon and Marseille to recharge whenever they can!
Taking the time to unwind, relax, sleep, wake up, enjoy, get active, smell every scent and listen to the birds singing is important to understand the philosophy of the owner Eric Guérin.
The Hotel
An inspired decor
Our establishment, a member of The Originals Hotels, in the Collection category, offers 15 tastefully designed rooms. The hotel’s small size makes it feel like a family home.
A three and a half tonne flint bathtub from Indonesia, a transparent door that opens onto the shower like a memento of Kochi, an old engraving by Léon Danchin reminding us that this is hunting country, or the suites on two floors forming private apartments… the decor of each room is unique and individual.
Go ahead and book a cosy nest…
Hôtel de charme
15 cosy nests
One close to the car park, a cocoon equipped for people with reduced mobility or who prefer to be out of the way, with its private patio shaded by a wisteria-covered pergola.
Six others on the upstairs level of the main building, cosy and chic, sheltered under the thatched roof.
Take a stroll towards the bottom of the garden along the small path through the bamboos, to the edge of the marsh, where a hut shelters 3 beautiful rooms on stilts, like lodges suspended in time by the rhythm of nature and the sunsets over the savannah.
To get the most out of your visit, walk 100 yards along the road from the main building to the “Clos du Rouge Gorge”. Open the wooden gate and venture between the small thatched houses where you will find the 5 suites and the wellness area.
Feel free to spend some time here in the sauna or relaxation pool to make your stay perfect. Remember to book a customized massage or a Reiki session to balance your energy.

Digital Detox
ABOUT WIFI
As you will have noticed, we are in the countryside, surrounded by nature!
We are at the end of the internet line and currently do not have access to high-speed fibre broadband. Therefore our Wi-Fi is not always as fast as we would like and so access is free and unlimited.
Always seeing the bright side of things, this inspired us and gave us an idea. For those who wish, we suggest, during your stay, to try the Digital Detox.
About
PETS
Dogs and cats are welcome in our establishment, with a supplement of 10 euros/day (meals not included). They must be kept on a lead, especially in our garden where crowned cranes, hens and other birds roam freely.
In case of damage caused by a pet, the owner will be held liable with all the legal ramifications.
