La Butte

Plouider

,

France

,

A truly charming hotel run by a passionate couple who are approachable and attentive to their guests. If I sound like I’m repeating myself, it’s because I believe this is what makes all the difference and gives a place its soul. The restaurant, which also holds a Michelin star, showcases the chef’s creative flair and offers a taste of Brittany’s culinary treasures.

Stunning mid-century decor that feels brand-new—a rarity in this part of France, where flashy styles tend to dominate. Here, too, you’ll find two restaurants at opposite ends of the spectrum: a Michelin-starred restaurant and a brasserie, with the latter offering a unique twist featuring Levantine influences, ensuring there’s something for everyone. The best part? It’s right on the water!

The Basque Inn

Saint-Jean-de-Luz

,

France

A simple, beautiful place—just the way I like it. Six rooms, a Michelin-starred restaurant, and a brasserie menu at lunchtime for more casual dining. The whole place is run by a passionate couple, the Béchades, who are approachable and attentive to their guests. That’s how it should always be!

Chrysoline de Gastines, Fanny Morel, Voyage Voyage Magazine, Manon Fleury… Discover the places where entrepreneurs, photographers, journalists, chefs and travel enthusiasts go to unwind and recharge.

Matea Leš

Born on the Croatian coast, Matea grew up enjoying a peaceful life, lulled by the Adriatic Sea. At age 12, her first travels revealed to her the joy of discovering new places. And they also helped her realize something essential: no matter where she goes, the sea will always be her home. As the author of the book *Jadran: Snapshots of Belonging*, she recounts, through her words and images, the deep bond that connects her to her homeland and the Adriatic Sea.

Christelle Yambayisa

A photographer and model, Christelle Yambayisa travels with her camera the way others keep a journal. From big cities to the wildest landscapes, she captures the places, faces, and moments that tell us something about the world and the people who live in it. It’s a way for her to preserve memories, but also to give a voice to the stories we sometimes forget to tell.

Léa Coutaye

As the founder of Yogascope, Léa travels the world in search of the perfect locations. She isn’t fond of grand luxury hotels or chain hotels that all look the same; instead, she seeks out family-run inns, century-old mansions, or secluded camps in the middle of the desert.

Jeanne Lozay

Jeanne Lozay is passionate about love, beauty, and the essence of the world around her. As both a photographer and co-founder of Hot Sauce, she shares her favorite finds with us.
