About the host

Hosted by Host

Host profile image
we created the Auberge du chemin de fer in 2008 by completely renovating the establishment and thematizing it around the train because of its location, with the image and sound of the closing of the gates for trains arriving at Lorient station or departing from Paris. This immediately creates a railway atmosphere. We then gave it a soul by decorating every space in the Auberge, with objects, photo books and numerous donations from railwaymen and their families. We toured the stations of Brittany for inspiration, and fell under the spell of this X3876 railcar lying in Carhaix station. It was a real coup de coeur and the birth of a crazy project: To acquire a dilapidated train that had become a graffitied squat, move it to Lanester and transform it into accommodation. It took eight years to bring this project to fruition and make the impossible possible: Negotiations, acquisition, transport and building permits, cleaning, dismantling and fitting out. Many thanks to the project's partner craftsmen. LES GITES DU PICASSO WON THE EVIIVO AWARD FOR THE MOST UNUSUAL STAY IN FRANCE IN 2019.
