Château des Tourelles

Château des Tourelles is a castle on the Atlantic coast near Pornichet featuring stone walls, towers, and a large park with century-old trees. The building now houses a four-star hotel with over 100 guest rooms, a restaurant, and a wellness center offering direct ocean access.

The castle was built in the early 1900s by a Belgian viscount as a private residence. Over time it was converted into a luxury hotel with thalassotherapy facilities.

The castle shapes Pornichet's skyline with its stone architecture and towers that echo medieval fortifications. Visitors experience regional traditions through art exhibitions and culinary events held on the grounds.

The property sits directly along the coast and is walkable from the beach, making it convenient for enjoying both the ocean and the wooded park. Facilities within the building allow guests to spend a relaxing stay without needing to venture far.

The wellness center specializes in thalassotherapy, a treatment method using seawater and seaweed that takes full advantage of the coastal location. This blend of historical architecture with modern wellness offerings is uncommon in the region.
