On the plate, the Breton woman promises to return "to her young years in France and her love for California, which conveys open and sharing values [and] reactivates the link between the table and nature."

Inside, the Leitmotiv hotel group has bet on Martin Brudnizki Design Studio to imagine – as these renders show – bucolically charming interiors, with soothing colours such as soft greens, solar yellows and a few touches of coral.
