Les Prés d’Eugènie: The Art of Landes Living

If you love the sound of fine food combined with the very best in relaxation and all-round well-being, then Les Prés d’Eugénie promises to tick all your boxes. This family-owned hotel, spa and gourmet haven in Eugénie-les-Bains, Landes, is home to one of the most famous French chefs in the world, Michel Guérard, his wife Christine and their daughters.

The estate offers 25 rooms, 20 suites and apartments, plus an additional two wild lodges on the Atlantic coast. There are three restaurants, including their fine dining three-Michelin starred restaurant (which has held its Michelin status for nearly 40 years), a thermal spa and a 50-acre vineyard.

New for 2016 are Hedonistic packages: comprised of seven days of relaxation, Pure Spa treatments, gourmet dining, wine tasting and learning to cook under Guérard’s expert tutelage. There are also two new intensive retreats on offer – a week-long Green Energy Detox retreat and the Anti-Ageing retreat – as well as a special anniversary package. Romantique!
