What a fabulous place to stay. The proprietor’s, Pascal and Sandrine are most welcoming, warm, and generous hosts. Their home has quite a history yet is furnished in a contemporary design led manner, it’s wonderful and even has a swimming pool in the garden which guests can use, along with private parking to give added value as street parking is chargeable. Le petit-dejeuner (breakfasts) are quite the treat, and in addition to the apple juice, fresh fruit/bread/croissants/yogurt/ham and cheeses, etc. Sandrine freshly cooks something different each morning; french toast, waffles, etc. all with copious amounts of coffee /tea. Rochefort is lovely with a naval background and has some fantastic restaurants which Pascal and Sandrine can advise upon, all just a short walk away from Espirit du 8 which is ideally situated just off the historic city centre. Saturday sees a very busy market in the historic city centre. We loved all of it.

This place is highly recommended. Wife and I stayed three nights: hosts Pascal & Sandrine are super-friendly and helpful, breakfast is great, Rochefort is a bit dull but has some great restaurants (Les Beatilles is particularly good) so no issue that they do not provide lunch or dinner. We were unlucky with the weather so did not use the pool but outside area is very cute and well-maintained. Each room is based around a well-known designer (we stayed in the Florence Knoll which was beautiful and spacious with a super-king bed). There are more design pieces downstairs including furniture. Road outside is quiet. Rochefort is a great location for visiting Ile-De-Re, Saintes, Fouras and many other beautiful locations nearby.

We stayed at the fabulous L’Esprit de 8 for two nights before continuing our journey further south. We were attracted by the private parking and the unique décor of the hotel. We stayed in Chambre Charlotte Perriand. Like the rest of the house, the room was was crammed with quirky design statements but was also very comfortable and had everything we needed during our stay. As for the parking, be aware that the entrance is very narrow, about 10cm wider than the car! The location is great for visiting Rochefort. It is so central that we were easily able to walk to all the main attractions and restaurants. Sandrine was away, but Pascal looked after us very well. His recommendations for restaurants were perfect, and breakfast was excellent; I’m sure we left heavier than when we arrived! We’d love to stay here again next time we’re in the area.

We spent a night in L'Esprit du 8 on our way to Northern Spain and were delighted to have discovered this gem in Rochefort. Our hosts, Sandrine and Pascal could not have been more welcoming and made sure our stay was very comfortable. A very interesting property with lots of space, and a lovely garden, where breakfast was served. The perfect start to our holiday! We hope to return - thank you Sandrine and Pascal!

Luxurious guest house decorated with taste. Comfortable king size bed, modern bathroom and the charm of and old house with a pool. Our hosts, Sandrine and Pascal thought of all the details and were very helpful in our discovery of the area. Could not recommend it enough!

A beautifully restored historic building in the heart of Rochefort. Perfect location. The attention to detail in the fittings and fixtures was exceptional. Very warm and friendly welcome from the hosts, particularly Pascal who was incredibly engaging and helpful to us in providing some gem locations and places to eat in the vicinity of Rochefort. The Eames room did not disappoint and you can see the pride in which the house has been filled with original pieces from past era. Would highly recommend. Don’t forget to ask to see the Austin Healey too
