Just 4.6 km from the Mer de Sable beach, Maison Prieuré welcomes you to a former 14th-century priory, in the heart of a small village surrounded by forest. With its ancient stones, peaceful atmosphere, and unspoiled natural setting, the place offers a true escape from time.
Here, you're just minutes from the park, yet you can enjoy a completely different environment once the day is over.
