Les Ajoncs d'Or
Pont Aven, Brittany, France.
With Pont Aven having been (and still being) a favoured destination for artists of various persuasions, it is unsurprising that such a place as Les Ajoncs d'Or has welcomed some notable painters in its time.
Of these, Paul Gaugin is undoubtedly the most famous. In fact, he spent some five months at what was then known as the Hotel le Gloanec in 1894, largely confined to his room on account of a broken leg. Other recognisable figures to have passed through its doors include the English writer Ernest Dowson, and the Post-Impressionists Gustave Loiseau and Emile Bernard.
Today, Les Ajoncs d'Or offers 2 star rated accommodation through 14 guest bedrooms, including a family room which sleeps 4. It features its own restaurant and is ideally situated for those seeking to explore the south coast of Brittany.
