Hotel and Gourmet Restaurant in Loire‑Atlantique
La Mare aux Oiseaux, inspired
by the Brière marshland
The Loire-Atlantique region, the Guérande peninsula, the Brière Regional Nature Park, the municipality of Saint-Joachim and, finally, the Île de Fédrun, encircled by the Loire, just before reaching the Atlantic: La Mare aux Oiseaux is more than a destination, it’s a journey.
Among the marshes, meadows and thatched cottages, in the heart of an unspoilt landscape which proudly proclaims its freedom, the Michelin-starred chef Éric Guérin has found the setting for his inner world.
La Mare aux Oiseaux, a hotel, restaurant and spa in the Loire-Atlantique region, boasts an authentic vibrancy.
It owes this vibrancy to the vibratory power of the Brière marshland, a landscape poised somewhere between the sky, the water and the earth, to Éric Guérin’s sensitivity and to his vital need to create.
A unique place, close to Saint-Nazaire, La Baule and Guérande, a passionate chef and an omnipresent warmth: La Mare aux Oiseaux is a true ode to life.
Welcome to a birds’ paradise.

The Brière marshland,
a breath of fresh air
Surrounded by water and underneath an endless sky, the Brière marshland is a little-known sanctuary which is as inspiring as it is soothing.
From the simple pleasure of quiet contemplation to the most unusual activities, anything is possible here. More than an irresistible playground for all those with a sense of adventure, it is, above all, the habitat of sacred ibis and herring gulls, teals and barnacle geese, eels and elvers.
A mosaic of canals, marshes, reed beds and meadows, the Brière marshland is a poem we never tire of reciting.
