welcome at la récréation



Come live a timeless experience !


Youmna and Anthony welcome you to this vast family home located between land and sea in the heart of Châtelaudren, little town of character, overlooking the village and the Minihy pond.


La Récréation is the promise of a return to childhood in every nook and cranny of this typically building from Brittany, warm and rich in its history of the school of yesteryear. 

“AN EXPERIENCE... EMOTIONS!”





We welcome you to our beautiful Breton family home located between land and sea in the heart of the characterful town of Châtelaudren, overlooking the village and the Minihy pond.


WE are Youmna and Anthony. And after having spent our entire career in luxury hotels, we embarked on this great family adventure in 2020 for a human hotel industry, in our image, made of details and conviviality.



Staying at La Récréation is a promise : the authenticity of a place that has retained all of its soul from the school of yesteryear. We are committed to passionately transmitting the rich history of this place and will make sure to pamper you for a peaceful stay.


You will discover the warmth of these places of sharing and exchange, our living spaces where furniture or antique objects from the past intermingle with more contemporary elements.



Our responsibility is also to highlight local producers and artisans carefully selected to promote the short and organic circuit (preferably) on our breakfast table combined with home-made products.


Here are our daily commitments for a timeless experience.
See you soon at La Récréation 😉 !

the story of la récréation



Built in 1892 to accommodate the Sainte-Anne school and the congregation of the daughters of the Holy Spirit, the building will have up to 140 students. Requested and transformed into a military hospital during the First World War, the school will not cease to maintain its vocation of education even during this period. Sainte-Anne school will continue teaching until the early 2000s before closing its doors for good.


La Récréation, guest house and apartments, wanted to give new life to this old school and bring its guests back, during their stay, to the school benches in joy and good humor.
