Jolly Château
your bed & breakfast close to the Ocean in France
Surrounded by fields, nature and seclusion, just 9 kilometres from the French Atlantic Ocean on the Côte de Lumière (‘Coast of Light’) between Nantes and Bordeaux, lies the Jolly Château, one of the last large stone houses in the typical style of our region.
For years, the Jolly Château was only used as a private holiday home for a few months a year - since the end of 2016, it has been a place where people from all over the world can come together. We rent out rooms including a delicious breakfast for a relaxing holiday away from mass tourism. Take a look around our website, we look forward to seeing you - and feel free to follow us on Instagram!
Book your holiday
We rent out our beautiful rooms! Use of the yoga and sports room is included in the price, and you can relax in (almost) the entire house and garden. We can also organise surfing courses for you at any time.
Take surf lessons
You can easily book your surf lesson with either Ghislain from Insidesurfschool or Manu at manusurfschool.
Book a tattoo or a massage
Alexandra has been a masseuse since 2004 and has been tattooing since 2019. She naturally also offers her massages at the Jolly Château and from September 2023 will be working in Longeville-sur-mer in her own small studio right next to the church, where you can also get a tattoo in addition to a massage. Both are also possible if you are not a guest with us!
What our guests say
★★★★
‘I was enchanted by this place right from the start! A wonderful, old property with a loving history that has been preserved and continued. The owner couple take great care of their guests and make for a great stay, and encourage you to explore the surrounding area. The yoga room created overlooking a beautiful courtyard offered relaxing sessions. My new magic place!’

‘Wonderful place! I've been on many holidays, but I've never been able to unwind and relax as quickly as (...) at the wonderful Jolly Château. The house and the individual rooms are just as lovingly designed as the yoga room and the garden. There is also a sauna in the garden for the cooler days. Alex & Damien are the perfect hosts and create a huge feel-good atmosphere.’
