La Ferme du Vent is an elemental retreat on the windswept coast of Brittany, a place where luxury is measured in tranquility and time. Created by the Roellinger family (of Michelin-starred cuisine fame) as the latest addition to their Maisons de Bricourt, this hideaway consists of five “Kled” lodges – stone cottages named after Celtic winds – scattered across a 7.5-acre seaside meadow facing the Bay of Mont Saint-Michel. Each lodge is a masterclass in sustainable minimalism: thick local granite walls and old wood beams (salvaged from historic Breton barns) keep interiors naturally insulated, while large picture windows frame views of sea and sky. There is deliberately no Wi-Fi, no TV, and no clocks in rooms, encouraging guests to sync with nature’s rhythm – the rising sun over the bay, the ebb and flow of tides that reveal Mont Saint-Michel on the horizon as if by magic. Inside, décor is serene and organic: linens are undyed flax, toiletries are handcrafted soaps and solid shampoos made with local seaweed (zero plastic or waste), and lighting is soft and mostly from candles or low-energy bulbs tucked into driftwood fixtures. Heating is provided by efficient wood-burning stoves using regionally sourced firewood, and each lodge has a basket of kindling replenished daily. The Ferme’s spa concept is utterly unique – the “Kled” wellness experience revolves around open-air ironwood soaking tubs filled with heated saltwater drawn from the bay. These private baths (one per lodge, in a sheltered courtyard) are heated by a mix of solar thermal panels and wood fire, offering a zero-electricity hot tub under the Breton sky. A sauna and hammam, likewise eco-designed, round out the spa amenities, which have earned Ferme du Vent a reputation as a sustainable wellness haven. Therapies include reflexology and massages using local marine salts, algae, and herbal oils from the Roellingers’ organic gardens – all in a small stone outbuilding where windows open to the sounds of crashing waves. This “wellness and reflexology center” has even won awards for its innovative low-impact design. Life at La Ferme du Vent is deliciously slow. Mornings, a simple breakfast (fresh brioche, farm butter, homemade apple preserves, and yogurt from a nearby farm) is quietly delivered to your door in a basket – all ingredients either homemade or from within a few miles. Days might be spent wandering the clifftop fields, napping in your hammock under an apple tree, or walking the coastal path to Cancale. Guests also have access to the vegetable gardens and can gather herbs or produce for a picnic; the Roellingers promote an “edible estate” concept where guests partake in the land’s yields. At night, with oil lamps casting a gentle glow, you might read or simply listen to the wind (“vent”) that gives this place its soul. Sustainability here is about subtraction – less technology, fewer distractions, and minimal resource use – which results in an experience incredibly rich in peace and connection. As the Michelin Guide noted, you can completely unwind in this Wi-Fi-free haven and feel the purity of its Nordic-inspired simplicity. La Ferme du Vent is indeed flush with nature (as Christine Roellinger describes, “a choreography of clouds, mist and light” is your entertainment), offering a rare chance to live slow, light, and in tune with the elements – the ultimate sustainable luxury.
