Discover our environmental commitments for more respectful stays
Being positioned in a natural setting, on the banks of the Ter’s Lake at Larmor Plage, and being concerned about the issues of sustainable development, the impact of our activity on the environment as well as the preservation of our planet, the Best Western Plus Hotel Les Rives du Ter is committed to a more sustainable tourism.
Since 2021, the hotel has been awarded the Green Key Label, 1er international label for sustainable tourism for tourist accommodation and restaurants, which testifies to our environmental approach.
The banks of the Ter: a natural environment
Larmor Plage is a small town in southern Brittany, 5 minutes from the centre of Lorient. Situated on the seafront opposite the island of Groix, it has a rich and varied coastline with a mixture of rocky coasts, vast sandy beaches, dunes and marshes as well as a low density coastal urban area.
Separating the communes of Larmor-Plage and Lorient, the Ter’s lake, on the edge of which our hotel is situated, is a 35-hectare lagoon which extends its eponymous river and empties into the Lorient harbour, the Blavet estuary.
Discover our green setting, nestled in the heart of a preserved environment, ideal for taking time for yourself, recharging your batteries and enjoying the sea air.
The Green Key label
