LA RÉCRÉATION

What LA RÉCRÉATION does

LA RÉCRÉATION is a family-owned boutique guesthouse and apartment rental business located in Châtelaudren-Plouagat, in the Côtes d'Armor department of Brittany, France. Founded in 2020 by Youmna and Anthony — both former luxury-hotel professionals — the business operates out of a restored 1892 building that originally housed the Sainte-Anne school and served as a military hospital during World War I. The property offers 5 themed guest rooms (Sciences, Mathématiques, Histoire, Musique, Géographie) certified 4 Keys by Clévacances and 2 self-catering apartments (Les Billes, La Marelle) certified 3 Keys, supported by a heated outdoor swimming pool, breakfast service with local and organic products, table d'hôtes dinners prepared by caterer Chez Christophe, and the La Dinette seminar/event room (60 m², up to 35 seated guests).

The commercial operation runs on the Amenitiz hospitality SaaS platform, which provides the multi-language website (English, French, German, Dutch), the integrated booking engine, real-time availability management, secure payment processing, and the underlying AWS/Heroku cloud infrastructure hosted in Frankfurt. The company employs 6 people and pursues a direct-to-consumer go-to-market model with no OTA or travel-agency intermediaries; bookings are accepted through the official website and phone, and the company maintains organic social channels (Instagram, Facebook, YouTube) and an active TripAdvisor presence to drive top-of-funnel demand.

Revenue is generated through per-night accommodation (rooms from €90–110, apartments from €70), table d'hôtes dinners (€25/adult, €16/child under 12, capped at 8 guests, Monday–Thursday), gift vouchers sold directly through the website, and La Dinette seminar/event rentals (private or with full property privatization). The business is privately held with no disclosed institutional investment, parent company, or subsidiaries, and is registered as a small French enterprise under SIRET 88763896300017.
