Hôtel Le Sénéchal

A picturesque fishing village paradise that’s almost too good to be true!

By Sophie Lawrence, VeryChic correspondent
Finding a place for the whole family is sometimes a tricky affair. Getting the balance right and having the requirements to suit everyone is quite a hard thing to get perfect the first time. I always focus on location, facilities and activities, so that we all have a fantastic time and no one is left out. We couldn’t have stumbled across a better place than Le Senechal – Villa and Moulin, in Ars-en-Re, a beautiful little commune in the Southwest of France.
