Le Vivier

What Le Vivier does

Le Vivier (legal entity SARL LE VIVIER, RCS Lorient 327 619 896, share capital €500k) is a family-owned, single-site restaurant-and-hotel located on a rocky waterfront outcrop at 9 Route de Beg-Er-Vir, Lomener, Ploemeur (Morbihan, Brittany, France). The establishment operates under a 3-star hotel classification (achieved July 2012) and a seafood gastronomic restaurant open 7 days a week, ~350 days per year, with lunch (12h–13h30) and dinner (19h–21h30) service. It has been listed in the Michelin Guide continuously since 1989 and holds Bib Gourmand, Maître-Restaurateur, and Tables & Auberges (Table Gastronomique) certifications. The hotel offers all sea-view rooms, and the restaurant features panoramic views of the Île de Groix with menus ranging from €28 to €80 and seafood specialities sourced from Groix Island (ormeaux, small grey snails, lobster, oysters).

The business operates three integrated revenue streams: (1) restaurant dining (à la carte and tasting menus, with gift voucher packages 'Formules 1–5' priced €162–€332 for two persons), (2) hotel accommodation (night + breakfast package at €198 for two, half-board demi-pension at €332/night for stays of 3+ nights), and (3) a seminar room rental for up to 12 persons equipped with internet, video projector, and coffee service. Distribution is exclusively direct — telephone, email, and the establishment's own website — with no third-party OTA or reseller channels. Target customer segments split between leisure tourists and holidaymakers (primary), business travellers, and corporate seminar clients. Ancillary amenities include a 22kW EV charging station (free for guests, installed 2022), a Google Maps virtual tour, and acceptance of chèques vacances. Marketing is driven by the Michelin Guide listing, TripAdvisor Certificate of Excellence (maintained since 2015), local press coverage in Le Télégramme and Ouest-France, and word-of-mouth. The establishment is owner-operated by Yves Guéguen (Maître-Restaurateur since 1991), with Théo Guéguen as Director of Publication.
