Exterior
The façades, typical of the old Île de Ré residences subjected to the forces of the Atlantic Ocean for nearly four centuries, make the hotel an integral part of the activities and life of this harbour town and endow it with great natural charm.General
History and Regional Art are given pride of place in the hotel decor. Its name and coat of arms come from the illustrious Maréchal de Toiras who defended the island against the English at the beginning of the 17th century. You can also admire many works related to regional artists like Pierre Loti or even Louis Suire.
It is an invitation to come and explore the historical heart of the Île de Ré.

What is so special about the hotel is that it has managed to imbue the rooms with the history of a whole region. Each of the rooms in the hotel pays tribute to an important figure from Charente-Maritime, whether it be literary authors like Madame de Sévigné or Pierre Loti, painters like Louis Suire, Chapelain-Midy, Natter or even historic figures like Toiras of course, but also Samuel de Champlain, the Duke of Buckingham, Vauban, etc.
Therefore, the interior decoration is inspired by anecdotes from the history of each of these figures, their tastes, their works, right down to the smallest detail – special fabrics, paintings, reproductions, books, ornaments, etc.
