Grand Hôtel de Trestraou, hôtel à Perros-Guirrec
The Grand Hôtel de Trestraou is a hotel in Perros-Guirec on France's northern Breton coast. It consists of several attached sections built from rough granite stone with large windows, verandas, and a spiral staircase that guides guests upward.
Joseph Le Bihan built the hotel in the late 1800s with encouragement from thinker Ernest Renan to draw visitors to the beach. Different architects expanded the building multiple times over the following decades, most notably from 1924 to 1926 and again around 1955.
The hotel takes its name from the Trestraou beach and cove that it overlooks. Guests can see the classic granite stone facade that ties the building to the rocky coast where the town developed.
The hotel sits right on the beach with views of the cove and is easy to reach on foot. Guests can easily explore nearby beaches or take boat trips that depart from the coast.
A door frame in the hotel originally came from a house in Paris and was brought here later. This mixing of Parisian and Breton history shows the worldwide connections that tourism brought in the 1900s.
