Le Manoir du Guern

🌍Global Project

Le Manoir du Guern is a former 16th-century residence located in Pluvigner. Lying in the heart of the Morbihan region in Brittany.

Manoir du Guern was a rectory for two centuries from 1730 to 1930. Bernard Baudoin and his wife fell in love with this extraordinarily property and have fully renovated reserving the authenticity and character of the old building, turning it into attractive, welcoming accommodation.

Today, four guest rooms and two holiday rentals welcome guests all year round to this authentic part of southern Brittany.

The couple, seeking future furnishings, was attracted to the emblematic Luxembourg collection, inspired by the famous Parisian gardens and redesigned by Frédéric Sofia in 2004.

“My key criteria were quality and comfort. I was also looking for robust products. The Fermob furniture stays outdoors all year round and is perfectly resistant to our capricious Breton weather without needing any particular maintenance.” The furniture, which is also used around the indoor heated pool, is also suitable for this warm, damp, chlorinated, indoor environment, being made from aluminium.

The Luxembourg is a robust & practical collection, products are light and stackable. Luxembourg is located in each of the Manoir du Guern properties: in the inner courtyard for dining, or in the lounge version along the moat or on the large rear terrace with its magnificent panoramic views of the local countryside. The Red Ochre colour  perfectly matchs the materials used for the renovation, like the terracotta tiles, lime plaster or ancient wood panelling.

“From the extensive colour chart, we picked Red Ochre to evoke the sails of the traditional Morbihan rigs,” explained Bernard Baudoin.
