Why choose Ille-et-Vilaine for your romantic weekend getaway?
A romantic region where nature and heritage come together
Ille-et-Vilaine offers the perfect setting for romantic getaways. From the pirate city of Saint-Malo and its ramparts to the legendary Forest of Brocéliande and its Arthurian mysteries, the medieval castle of Fougères, and the historic streets of Rennes, the department combines a rich heritage with natural beauty. Brittany is also among the top three most sought-after French destinations for vacations in 2025 (source: HomeToGo, 2025), confirming its appeal to travelers seeking authenticity.
The trend toward short romantic getaways is booming
Romantic getaways are experiencing remarkable growth. In 2025, 46% of French people aged 15 and older took at least one getaway involving paid accommodations, representing 26 million travelers—a level not seen in 24 years (source: Raffour Interactif / Opodo Barometer, 2026). Couples favor packages that combine cultural heritage, nature, and wellness within an accessible radius: 80% of romantic weekends take place within a 3-hour radius of their primary residence (source: Actualité Journal, 2026). From Paris, La Reposée is accessible in 1 hour and 25 minutes by TGV to Rennes, followed by a 20-minute drive.
La Reposée: The Perfect Balance Between a Change of Scenery and Convenience
Our estate perfectly embodies what couples are looking for in a romantic weekend getaway in Ille-et-Vilaine: a pristine natural setting that offers a true escape from everyday life, without the logistical hassle of a long trip. Just 15 minutes from Rennes, you’ll find yourself in a 2.5-hectare wooded park on the edge of a forest, far from the hustle and bustle of the city, in a setting designed for privacy and the simple pleasures of life as a couple.
Charming accommodations for your romantic getaway
Renovated rooms on a charming estate
Our charming hotel features 33 newly renovated rooms, spread across the three separate buildings that make up the estate. For your romantic weekend in Ille-et-Vilaine, we offer several types of accommodations to suit your preferences:
- The Suites: five rooms on the second floor, each with a separate living room, bedroom, and private bathroom—ideal for a romantic getaway where you’ll want to enjoy a spacious and intimate setting

A natural setting that makes every moment special
The 2.5-hectare park on the edge of the forest provides the perfect natural setting for your romantic weekend getaway. The tree-lined paths, unspoiled green spaces, and the forest edge create a soothing atmosphere that encourages you to reconnect as a couple. Whether you exchange vows hand in hand at sunrise, enjoy a moment of reading on the terrace, or simply let yourself be lulled by the silence of nature, the estate offers that rare setting where time seems to stand still.
A gourmet breakfast to start your day off right
Every morning from 6:30 a.m. to 10:00 a.m., our breakfast buffet features fresh, local, and seasonal products. Bread and pastries delivered fresh every morning by our baker, cheeses from local farms, and honey harvested from our two beehives—set up in partnership with Apirun in the heart of the estate—make this first meal of the day an invitation to indulge and discover the flavors of Brittany.
Price: €16.90 per person — €9.50 for children under 12.
The Wellness Area: The Romantic Heart of Your Stay
A one-of-a-kind outdoor hot tub in Ille-et-Vilaine

The outdoor hot tub, with a direct view of the wooded park, offers a rare sensory experience: the massage jets relieve tension while the fresh forest air and the estate’s silence create an intimate and soothing atmosphere. This moment of tranquility, shared as a couple amidst the Breton countryside, is one of those memories that will stay with you forever.

The Benefits of a Spa for Reconnecting as a Couple
Wellness getaways for couples are experiencing a real boom in 2025, driven by a deep desire for emotional reconnection (source: Travel Trends, 2025). Our wellness area fulfills this desire by offering a setting where tensions naturally melt away. The sauna with its detoxifying benefits, the steam room with its moisturizing properties, and the outdoor hot tub with its massaging jets—each feature helps create that sense of lightness and connection with one another that defines the most memorable romantic getaways.
La Table de François: Bistronomy with a Romantic Twist
A bistronomic dinner in a cozy setting
A romantic weekend in Ille-et-Vilaine wouldn’t be complete without a memorable dinner. La Table de François offers authentic and generous “bistronomic” cuisine, a far cry from the formality of a fine-dining restaurant. Our chef, Thomas, works daily with local producers in Ille-et-Vilaine, crafting creative dishes that celebrate the flavors of Brittany in a relaxed and warm atmosphere.
In the evenings and on weekends, the bistronomic menu showcases its finest creations: fish and meat of the day depending on the catch, meats to share such as rib of beef and veal picanha, local charcuterie and cheeses, and a fine selection of wines carefully chosen to complement each dish. This dinner for two, in the estate’s serene setting, will be one of the highlights of your romantic weekend.
A bistronomic lunch to extend the pleasure
The next day, extend your getaway with lunch at La Table de François. From Monday through Friday at lunchtime, you can choose from two set menus:
- Market Menu — 2-course: €19 / 3-course: €23
- Gourmet Menu — 2-course: €35 / 3-course: €39
On weekends, the bistronomic menu is available for a more elaborate lunch that pleasantly extends your stay before you head home.
Hours: Monday through Saturday — Lunch 12:00 p.m.–2:00 p.m. / Dinner 7:00 p.m.–10:00 p.m.
La Reposée Honey: A Gift from the Heart
Our partnership with Apirun has led to the installation of two beehives in the heart of the estate. The honey harvested there enhances our breakfast table and Chef Thomas’s creations. This attention to detail—this ability to offer a flavor that originates just a few meters from your room—embodies the spirit of La Reposée: a place where every element contributes to creating an authentic and memorable experience.
