Purchased in 2011 by the Legendre family, the Domaine du Château des Pères, 20 minutes from Rennes, aims to be a place of culture, tourism, and gastronomy.

Open since September 1, 2022, the Hôtel-Spa L’EssenCiel, with its 42 4-star "nest" rooms, opens a new horizon for this rapidly expanding estate. The establishment challenges conventions. It reinterprets and questions the concept of the hotel room.

Since 2014, the Domaine du Château des Pères has been known for its artistic workshops (stone, wood, metal sculpture, pottery, paper modeling, and linocut) led by artists living at the Château.

Today, a new adventure begins in the heart of the Domaine: an immersive workshop around the vegetable garden, led by Carole, a passionate gardener.

La Table des Pères, a Michelin-starred restaurant in the heart of the Domaine du Château des Pères, has decided to

develop an original concept for lovers of new tastes and experiences. This is

how a brand new space has been created in the former greenhouse of the Château's vegetable garden

dedicated to the creation of cocktails, in a bucolic and rural atmosphere.

For the second consecutive year, the Hôtel-Spa**** L'EssenCiel has been ranked among the 100 most beautiful hotels in the world. This distinction, awarded by the prestigious Hotel & Lodge magazine, confirms L'EssenCiel's exceptional place in the international hotel landscape. Already crowned in 2023 as the 3rd most beautiful hotel in the world in the unusual category, L'EssenCiel continues to fascinate and innovate. This year, the hotel was selected in the Architect category. The 1st prize was won by the Six Senses Fort Barwara in Rajasthan, India, followed by the Couvent Des Minimes, in Mane in the Alpes-De-Haute-Provence and the Palace De Menthon in Menthon-Saint-Bernard in Haute-Savoie.

Nine months after opening its new structure in the heart of the vegetable garden of the Château des Pères, the restaurant La Table des Pères has just obtained recognition from the Michelin guide by receiving its first star. A great reward for

Chef Jérôme Jouadé and his team who have been working on the Domaine, in Piré-Chancé, since 2015 to offer humane and sustainable cuisine.

Open since September 1, 2022, the Hôtel-Spa L’EssenCiel, with 42 nest rooms with 4* services, opens a new horizon for this rapidly expanding Estate. The establishment shakes up the codes. It reinterprets and questions the concept of the hotel room.
