ABOUT HJEM

Our location says it all. You will find us only a few steps from the beach in Port Blanc -Brittany, France. We are truly blessed by our surroundings, the ancient landscape bathed in history, the charming Harbour Village, the Pink Granite Coast. Nature here is savage, the sky is high, the light is breath taking, especially at sunrise and sunset. 

HJEM used to be a PENSION DE FAMILLE - (a place from days gone by) where multiple families would come and stay for the summer. Sharing a large house or villa with each other and a cook - a real community space. A unique place where people would meet to share and exchange ideas and experiences. Thanks to the travelled and experienced hosts and guests, creativity and storytelling were inevitable as they gathered around the shared dinner table or fire, The house has kept this charm of rich souvenirs, sharing and storytelling.

Mindful living is the heart of our kitchen and drive of the houses. It’s visual and delicatly transmitted in the way we host and care for our guests, environment and nature.

Today HJEM’s 3, different and yet connected spaces allow for that community, sharing, friends and family feeling. The separate buildings all gather around a big rock garden, relaxing veranda and a terrace sheltered from the wind.  Providing the additional luxury of privacy and companionship as needed.

SURROUNDINGS

Region

A land of combinations, Brittany holds a lot of its charm in its contrasts.
Wild and natural, with a lively sea, the tides tease your view, but don’t stay too long!

Take your time to explore the heart of the land, visit the many different forests, sites and trails. The area that includes Port Blanc is called The Pink Granite Coast. It gets its name from the fact that the outcropped granite stones have a dominant pinkish shade.

HJEM is ideally situated in the charming harbour village of Port Blanc. Here you have the choice of beaches and sea temperaments all facing the English Channel/La Manche.

The seabed is beautiful, connecting a string of islets scattered here and there, one of which is called “Ile aux Femmes”.
