An Eccentric Stay in France | The Upside-Down Boat Hotel in Brittany

An Eccentric Stay in France | The Upside-Down Boat Hotel in Brittany

Today, let’s head to Brittany, just south of Brest in Britain, where we find Kastell Dinn of Crozon. Here, Pierre and Patricia Carn Menesguen have created a charming way to spend the night in unique, original houses scattered throughout their garden.

One option is the Quille en air. This is a former tool shed with stone walls, topped with an upturned boat for a roof (hence ‘keel in the air’). It features a double bed, a private bathroom, and an outdoor lounge area. Another choice is the Caloge, an old crop storage building with wooden walls and a thatched roof—perfect for those who love the sea.

If staying on a boat isn’t your thing, you can opt for the Caravans. These are gypsy wagons equipped with a double bed and bathroom. Alternatively, there are three bedrooms in the main house, including a family suite with a ground-floor room and another in the attic.

Prices are as follows: 55 € for a double room in the house, 90 € for the Caloge, and 65 € for either the Quille en air or the Caravan.
