Grand Hôtel des Bains — Locquirec, Brittany
Set on the Locquirec peninsula, between the Pink Granite Coast and the wild shores of Finistère, the Grand Hôtel des Bains has had its feet in the water since the early 20th century. A private residence turned family guesthouse and then hotel, it owes part of its legend to cinema: the 1978 film L’Hôtel de la plage was shot here.
Now a 4-star hotel, it cultivates a New England–inspired seaside spirit: painted wood panelling, fireside lounges, rooms opening onto the bay, a marine spa and a seawater pool. Following the light, the shoot tells the story of the constant dialogue between the hotel and the sea — the turret on the point, the harbour at high tide, the beach huts and golden evenings on the rocks.

Hotel photographer in Brittany: Grand Hôtel des Bains, Locquirec
On the Locquirec peninsula, between the Pink Granite Coast and Finistère, the Grand Hôtel des Bains has had its feet in the water since the early 20th century. The film L’Hôtel de la plage was shot here in 1978. Now a 4-star hotel, it cultivates a New England–inspired seaside spirit, with a marine spa and a seawater pool.
The series follows the light through the day: rooms opening onto the bay, fireside lounges, the turret on the point, the harbour at high tide and the end of the day on the rocks. For a seaside hotel, the relationship with the ocean has to come through in every image.
What the series shows
The series has around thirty images. The hotel: the white façade with its New England–style balconies, the fireside lounges and their wood panelling, the veranda opening onto the garden, the restaurant overlooking the park, the sea-view rooms and the spa’s indoor seawater pool. Outside: the little gate leading to the private beach, the arches and stone terrace facing the bay, then Locquirec itself, with its harbour at high tide, its striped beach huts, the turret on the point and the rocks at sunset. Pairing the hotel with its destination sells the stay, not just the room.
