One of three hotels owned by the famed Roellingers, the Richeux occupies an imposing 1920s waterfront mansion built on the ruins of the Du Guesclin family's 11th-century château, 5 km (3 mi) south of Cancale. Request one of the rooms with large bay windows, which have stunning views of Mont-St-Michel. Readers rave about Le Coquillage, the hotel's small bistro (closed Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday lunch), which specializes in local oysters and seafood platters served up in a relaxed, cozy atmosphere. Some prefer this traditional eatery (with a menu at EUR 29) over the nouvelle fireworks of the Roellinger place. Pros: great cuisine; picturesque setting. Cons: isolated site; poor room facilities.
