Le Champlain - A historic 4-star hotel with a French formal garden, Phytomer spa treatments, and themed bar

The 39-room property includes Standard (12m²), Superior (20m²), Deluxe (20-22m²), and Prestige (25m²) categories, plus 40m² suites-some offering garden views and twin/extra bed configurations. Guests at Le Champlain can book Phytomer seaweed-based treatments in the wellness area or order brunch (€18) featuring eggs, salmon, and themed dishes. The Samuel de Champlain-themed bar serves drinks in armchairs or the garden daily from 15:00-22:00. Verdun public parking sits 100m away, while the Old Port and Musée Maritime are 1km and 2km respectively.
