Two Roots, One Shared Passion


Our story begins where the land meets the sea.

Bertrand, originally from Ouistreham, carries within him the heritage of Norman navigators and the audacity of his Viking ancestors.

Yasmine, a child of Saint-Malo, embodies the timeless elegance of the corsair city and possesses, as if by second nature, a passion for architecture and decorative arts.


We met through the shared call of the sea, a bond that forged our connection. But our union didn't stop at a simple love story; it became the driving force behind a life project: returning to our roots to create places that have meaning.


Today, we are joining forces: the quiet strength of Norman history and the artistic sensibility of a true modern "Medici", to offer you much more than a seasonal rental, a true living space.


Our Philosophy

Comfort as an Art


We don't just rent walls; we share a way of life. Our commitment is radical: to offer you absolute comfort, not as an industrial standard, but as a philosophy of life.

Each property is a canvas on which we paint our universe.

 

Yasmine, a true modern-day "Medici," designs interiors with exacting standards and attention to detail. Each piece of furniture, each work of art is selected to tell a story, create a warm atmosphere, and avoid the trap of standardization.

Alongside him, Bertrand, the builder, ensures that the soul of each place remains authentic, strong and welcoming, faithful to the spirit of our roots.


Our promise?

Transform your stay into a true stopover in history and the region, where you will feel at home, surrounded by beauty and meaning.

A Collection of Soulful Places

Escale & Héritage is the realization of our vision: an intimate collection of exceptional properties, each a distinct chapter in our history.

We travelled across France to find these places steeped in history, where architecture and nature meet to offer unforgettable escapes.

Our collection spans from the sea to the mountains, including the historic countryside:

  • Belle de Normandie: Anchoring ourselves in our roots, where the Viking spirit and history - from William the Conqueror to June 6, 1944 - meet the gentle Norman seaside lifestyle.
  • Coeur Corsaire: A jewel of Saint-Malo Intra-Muros, combining corsair history, impressive beaches and waves, and warm contemporary refinement.
  • Alpen Marvel: An alpine interlude, where the cozy charm of a small chalet enhances the majesty of the peaks and the joys of the Grand Massif.
  • The Trianon des Chênes (Coming Soon): A future gem in Montfort-l'Amaury, destined to become a haven of calm and royal history, serenaded by Maurice Ravel's Boléro or the songs of Charles Aznavour.


Each "Escale" is designed as a legacy to be passed on to you: a place where you will not be a mere reservation number, but an honored guest, surrounded by beauty and history.



We open our doors and our secrets to you, acting as your discreet guides to share our best addresses and our love for the region.

Our Stopovers: Choose Your Escape

Before choosing your accommodation, choose the experience that calls to you. Each region we select offers a unique world, rich in history, nature, and authenticity. It is in the heart of these exceptional landscapes that our properties, veritable gems, stand as the highlight of your journey.


  • Normandy: Between Viking Heritage and the Gentle Charm of the Pays d'Auge. The legacy of the conquerors, the D-Day beaches, and gastronomy. Immerse yourself in millennia of history: follow in the footsteps of the Vikings and William the Conqueror at Caen Castle and Falaise, before walking on the historic beaches of Omaha and Arromanches. Between the sea and the hedged farmland, savor the cheeses of the Pays d'Auge and stroll through the streets of Honfleur. It is in this iconic setting that Belle de Normandie, our historic villa dating back to 1897, welcomes you for a stay steeped in the Norman spirit.
  • Brittany: Saint-Malo & the Bay of Mont-Saint-Michel. The spirit of privateering, legendary tides, and medieval architecture. Stroll along the ramparts of the walled city, follow the coastal path to Mont-Saint-Michel, or explore the ports of Dinard. It is in the heart of this vibrant city, where history breathes in every stone, that L'Escale à Saint-Malo offers you an elegant retreat to experience Brittany like a local.
  • The Alps and the Grand Massif: Majestic peaks, pure air, and mountain living. Whether skiing on the slopes of the Grand Massif, hiking around crystal-clear lakes, or admiring alpine panoramas, the region offers complete freedom. Nestled in this magnificent setting, Alpen Marvel is your ideal mountain base, designed to fully enjoy the wilderness.
  • Historic Île-de-France: Versailles, Paris, and the Rambouillet Forest. Royal splendor, world culture, and the countryside, all within 35 minutes. Enjoy the best of both worlds: visit the Palace of Versailles and its gardens just a few kilometers away, or immerse yourself in the vibrant energy of Paris in only 35 minutes by train. After a day of culture or shopping, return to the absolute tranquility of the Rambouillet Forest for a peaceful escape. It is in this strategic haven of peace that Le Trianon des Chênes (coming soon) will become your rural sanctuary, the ideal place to combine urban exploration with rural relaxation.
