l'instant bleu 18 bis Quai du Général Leclerc de Hautecloque, 17230 Marans, France - accommodation

A lovely welcoming bed and breakfast. The owners are extremely friendly and helpful - offering a cool apple juice and beer on arrival.

The room was clean (thankfully cool as it was over 30c outside) and comfortable and all guests had access to a lovely large garden and swimming pool. Rooms had kettles and a selection of teas and coffee and toiletries.

All rooms are accessed from the garden which offers a secure place to park cars or store bikes. We had the room overlooking the front of the property and river, there is a small road between but hardly any cars went past and the room was very quiet.

There is a large summer kitchen available for guest to use and there are a number of local restaurants within walking distance.

Orders for breakfast are taken the night before and when the weather is good served in the garden. Freshly squeezed orange juice, beautiful bread and wonderful croissant.

This really is a lovely, peaceful place to stop after a long day but is close enough to better known (but busier) towns such as La Rochelle.

We arrived at Marans at about 15.10 - too early to check-in to our accommodation so we saw a few riverside cafe’s and decided to see if we could get a drink/something to eat. Everything was pretty much closed, although the did serve us a couple of cold beers at it was hitting 30c
