starting with an English colonel, a hero of the Crimean War – Robert William Hamilton. Then came the cream-of-the crop of the French National Scientific Research Museum of Natural History – Commander JeanBaptiste Charcot. The pride of the founders of this seaside resort and marine station, the great history came through the gates of Castelbrac. The hotel has been fully renovated to make it welcoming to guests – a place for healing and wellbeing. At Castelbrac, beauty and history meet.
