Unusual Brittany: often magnificent, often isolated
Brittany is a land of the unusual. Treehouses, secret gîtes near Brocéliande, independent houses with heated pools deep in the bocage countryside. These addresses have a genuine charm - nature, silence, discretion.
But isolation comes at a price. No restaurant within walking distance, no morning market, no life around you. You arrive, you close the door, and you wait for the weekend to pass. For some that is perfect. For others, it is too much. You want the unusual - but not at the expense of the city, the atmosphere, the freedom to go out and come back.
Love Horizons: the unusual without the isolation
That is exactly what Love Horizons offers. An unusual address in Brittany - in an iconic tower in the heart of Rennes - with the whole city within reach.
The Tour des Horizons, designed by architect Georges Maillols in the 1970s and inspired by the Marina City of Chicago, has dominated Rennes for over 50 years. For several years, it was among the tallest residential towers in Europe. The ARTE documentary "In Rennes, the vertical utopias" presents it as the last great manifesto of Breton modernism. Love Horizons occupies its top floors.
An iconic cylindrical tower, a privatised suite at the summit, a panoramic view over the entire Breton capital - and below, the living city continuing to turn. Restaurants, the Lices market - the second largest market in France on Saturday mornings - the historic centre 15-20 minutes on foot. The unusual and city life. Both at the same time.
What makes this address unusual - the facts
- A unique architectural tower in Brittany - inspired by the Marina City of Chicago, designed by Georges Maillols, documented by ARTE. No other love room in Brittany can claim this heritage;
- An altitude with no equivalent in Brittany - the only love room in the region perched at this height, with a panoramic view over the entire city from the suite;
- A private spa at height - chromotherapy jacuzzi and private hammam facing the view. Not in a basement. At the top of a tower;
- City centre, not countryside - 15-20 minutes on foot from Rennes station, a few hundred metres from the historic heart of the city;
- Total privatisation - the suite is not shared, no other guests, no interruptions for the entire duration of the stay.
Rennes, an underrated Breton city for romantics
Rennes is often underestimated as a romantic destination in Brittany. People think of Saint-Malo, Dinard, the sea. Rennes is different - and that is precisely what makes it interesting.
A lively university city with a remarkably well-preserved historic centre - half-timbered houses, cobbled alleyways, the Parliament of Brittany. The Lices market, the second largest market in France, on Saturday mornings. Restaurants, bars, a vibrancy you simply do not find in isolated countryside gîtes.
And from Love Horizons, all of that is at your feet. Literally.
