Planète Sésame, France sur Lagord

03/06/2026: An address you almost want to keep secret. Perfect for a relaxing break away from La Rochelle. Very friendly and helpful staff. Excellent value for money.

01/06/2026: We stayed two nights at this castle hotel and, overall, we had a pleasant stay. The setting is magnificent, the castle is very charming, and the room and bathroom were lovely. However, a few things could be improved. Cleanliness was generally acceptable, but the curtains and the radiator in the room could use better maintenance. The pool area is pleasant and relaxing. On the other hand, the hammam doesn't run continuously and needs to be switched on by reception each time it's used. This involves a lot of back and forth and isn't very convenient when the staff isn't available. A repair or a more autonomous operation would be appreciated. As for breakfast, we found it quite expensive for what was offered. The savory options were limited: no scrambled eggs, no bacon, and the bread seemed stale. The reception could also be improved. The receptionist was polite, but we didn't experience a genuine sense of customer service. For example, we had difficulty using the egg cooker, and after it malfunctioned, no alternative was offered for preparing eggs. Finally, we believe the property has enormous potential. The grounds are beautiful, and it would be worthwhile to offer more entertainment, activities, or even on-site dining. Currently, the experience mainly consists of sleeping and enjoying the pool, which is pleasant, but there's so much more to offer in such an exceptional setting. In short, a very beautiful place with a lot of potential, but several details could be improved to truly make the stay live up to the setting.
