Our 5 days here

We had the pleasure of spending 5 nights at La Maison Pavie. We loved everything about it, especially Ghislain's welcome. Passionate about his job and with a wealth of experience in the tourism industry, he is kind, cultured and very jovial. Class Breton style.

A house with influences from around the world

Maison Pavie takes its name from one of its illustrious visitors: Auguste Pavie, a great French traveller. From 1872 to 1895, Auguste Pavie traveled throughout Siam and Indochina, from Vietnam to Laos, via Angkor and Saigon. Initially a telegraph officer, he later became an explorer, ethnologist and photographer of the banks of the Mekong River.

Once inside, you'll discover a place full of character. Echoing the life of Auguste Pavie, travel and Indochina in the last century inspired the interior design: the choice of materials and colors, the design of the furniture and the use of crockery and fabrics. The medieval origins are still visible, notably the granite slabs on the entrance floor and the cob walls of the 3rd-floor staircase.
