| A stunning hotel This is probably the most original countryside Hotel that you can find in France. One of the most attractive also. The idea was originated by the former Mayor, a lady full of energy and ideas. The principle was simple: She realized that because of distance and seclusion, most habitants had left and many of the traditionnal big stone houses were empty or in ruins (there was also a XIIth century Castle pretty much in the same shape). She did'nt want to see such a beautiful village to die and the last young people leaving also to find jobs far away. She created an outstanding hotel with the whole Village. The Castle hosts offices, bar, dining rooms and salons. But after dinner, you just go out and walk the old paved narrow streets and join one of the beautifully restored original village houses. The village is on top of a hill and most of the houses have garden terraces facing the wonderful hill view. These gardens are an enchantment of flowers and old stones. An early morning coffe there is a moment of "luxe", peace and happiness. |
