Les Petites Maisons Arin
Chez
Soizic & André Arin
Facing Paimpol Bay, Les Petites Maisons Arin exude maritime authenticity. Nestled in a protected site, these traditional yet contemporary houses, designed by Soizic, immerse travelers in the world of family oyster farming, between the salty air, breathtaking views, and Breton heritage.
It's not just Pierre Loti's famous Icelandic fishermen in Paimpol. There are also oyster farmers. These little Arin houses, located in an area protected by the Conservatoire du Littoral, are the closest witnesses to this. Three tiny houses that Soizic has beautifully furnished and decorated, for two or four people, right next to the marine farm of her husband (in the family since 1947!), André Arin. Here, everything is infused with the sea air. The view, the scents, and even the food, if you go to the oyster bar in season, with a view of Paimpol Bay and Saint-Riom Island, run by her sister, Cécile. Within sight and easy reach, along the customs officers' path, is the sublime Beauport Abbey, the subject of Soizic's thesis. She knows everything there is to know about it!
3 good reasons to go
- because these houses are part of a whole, an ecosystem that is as virtuous as it is preserved
- because you can enjoy yourself as a couple or as a group, together or independently
- because a dip in the sea is good for you all year round
3 houses starting at €70 per night (minimum 4 nights)
