Latitude 43.7° N · Est. 1968
Nine suites above a working fishing cove on the Côte de Jade. Sea-salt linen, stone floors, a table that opens at dusk. Maison Latitude takes guests by the week — never by the day.
The House · 02
We built Maison Latitude slowly. The stone came from a quarry thirty kilometres inland. The linen is woven by a co-operative in Finistère. Breakfast is whatever our neighbour landed at first light. Nothing is luxurious for its own sake — it simply took its time.
Stay · 03
Every suite looks on to the Bay of Biscay. Three face the cove, three the orchard, three the low cliff. Pick any of them and know that the others are — intentionally — quite close by.
Suite du Cap — from €420
Stone balcony hanging over the cove. King bed, freestanding bath, private sea steps. Sleeps two; breakfast on the terrace at 8.
Suite du Verger — from €360
Orchard-side room with french doors on to the garden. Queen bed, reading chair, linen day-bed for three. Breakfast in the kitchen.
Suite de la Falaise — from €520
Top-floor cliff suite with wide horizon. Super-king bed, open-plan sitting room, outdoor shower under the pine. Sleeps two; dinner included on request.
Experiences · 04a
Once a week, at the correct moon, Pierre-Yves takes two or three guests on to the beds. Rubber boots, a knife, an hour of his grandfather's stories. You come back with lunch.
Experiences · 04b
Our chef Amélie cooks what the boats brought in — four courses, natural wines from neighbours, one shared table. Open to house guests first, then to the village. It finishes when the coffee is cold.
Experiences · 04c
Take the old customs path south. We pack you bread, saucisson from the village, goat cheese, a small bottle of Muscadet. Be back before dusk — the light from the cove is the reason you booked.
We came for three nights and changed the flight. The whole house slows you down by the second morning — the bread, the quiet, the knowing everyone by name before lunch.
