Le Clos Clin, a unique, characterful and rural stone manor near Saint-Malo and Dinard, restored and transformed into an authentic breton B&B.

Historical "No castle without a lord"


For historians or simply for those who like to know the traditional history of where they are staying.

Its ancient names :
• "L’Hôtel du Clos"
• "Le Clos à Lerbe" (l’Herbe)
• "Le Clos Labbé", named after its owner, and "le Clos Quelen"

The area of Clos Quelen presumably  originates from a former Gallo-Roman domain. This area would have continued in the tenth century, situated near the motte “la Motte au Vicomte" and churchyard of Pleurtuit.

The break is towards the thirteenth century because of the difficulty to manage large estates.

The various  owners



LABBE

1446: Guillaume Labbé, Lord "du Clos" owns the hotel "du Clos".

QUELEN

"Eudes" or "Eon" Lord "de Quélen", "Conan de Quélen", "Marc de Quélen", "Tristan de Quélen" and "Yvon de Quélen" participate in the 7th Crusade (1248-1268).
When taking Damietta, Saint Louis is made prisoner.
Then they go back to the 8th Crusade (1268-1270) where Saint Louis died during the siege of Tunis.

The property then consists in :
• The noble farm of "la Rouauldaye"
