L’Esplanade | Epicurean House by the Loire – Hotel & Restaurant

Welcome to L’Esplanade

L’Esplanade is a welcoming riverside house in Le Pellerin, Loire-Atlantique, just a short drive from Nantes. Set in a former 19th-century coaching inn, it is both a hotel and a bistronomic restaurant with wine bar, where guests come to enjoy good food, thoughtful wines and time well spent.

A peaceful setting near Nantes

Facing the Loire River, our house offers a calm and scenic environment while remaining close to Nantes, the Atlantic coast and the region’s main attractions. In fine weather, the terrace opens onto panoramic Loire River views — perfect for breakfast, lunch, dinner or a relaxed drink.

Whether you are visiting for a weekend escape, a family stay or a business trip near Nantes, L’Esplanade combines comfort and authenticity.

Hotel rooms designed for rest

Our rooms provide a peaceful stop in a quiet riverside setting. Some enjoy open views over the Loire River. Comfortable and functional, they are ideal for couples, families, business travellers and guests exploring the Loire Valley.

A bistronomic restaurant & wine bar

At the heart of the house, our restaurant serves homemade seasonal cuisine prepared with fresh ingredients. Generous, flavourful and easy to share, our dishes reflect a simple philosophy: respect the product and focus on taste.

Our wine bar complements the experience with carefully selected wines, recommended with care by our team — by the glass, carafe or bottle.

A cycling-friendly stop on the Loire routes

Located directly on the Loire à Vélo, the Vélodyssée and the Vélidéale cycling routes, L’Esplanade is a convenient and welcoming stop for cyclists. We provide secure bike storage and work with a local repair partner during the season.
