HOTEL SUMMARY
Where 1920s villa elegance meets Michelin-starred culinary artistry, Château Richeux in Les Maisons de Bricourt - Saint-Méloir-des-Ondes commands sweeping views of Mont Saint-Michel Bay from its moorland perch. This distinctive luxury estate embodies the Roellinger family's poetic vision of refined hospitality, transforming a classic French villa into Brittany's most sophisticated culinary destination. The château's story begins with Olivier Roellinger, the legendary three-Michelin-starred chef who revolutionized French cuisine with his mastery of spices and seafood. Born in nearby Cancale in 1955, Roellinger created this hospitality empire after closing his acclaimed Le Bricourt restaurant in 2008, channeling his culinary genius into Les Maisons de Bricourt. Today, his son Hugo Roellinger, named Cuisinier de l'Année 2022, continues the family legacy at the estate's restaurant Le Coquillage, blending his father's iconic dishes with innovative new creations that celebrate Breton terroir and maritime heritage. Château Richeux offers 11 elegantly appointed rooms and 2 luxurious apartments, each designed with refined simplicity that connects guests to the surrounding natural beauty of sea, sky, and moorland.

Premium suites showcase panoramic bay views, while the estate's broader collection includes unique options like the glass-roofed Fermes du Vent stone buildings and intimate marine cottages, creating a diverse portfolio of poetic accommodations within the Les Maisons de Bricourt universe. The culinary experience at Le Coquillage represents the pinnacle of modern Breton gastronomy, where Hugo Roellinger's innovative approach honors his father's spice-driven legacy while celebrating local seafood and regional ingredients. The restaurant serves as the estate's gastronomic heart, offering guests an immersive journey through Brittany's culinary traditions enhanced by the family's renowned spice expertise.
