The story
In Aubigny-sur-Nère, a village where Franco-Scottish history lingers in the air, La Chaumière has been welcoming guests for more than 25 years. Fabienne and Philippe Arnault, now joined by their daughters Cécile and Sébastien Provendier, run this true family inn with a quiet dedication to the art of hospitality. The atmosphere is that of a soothing Sologne inn—calm, serene, and unhurried.
The restaurant’s cuisine draws directly from the gourmet resources of the local terroir. Seasonal products, supplied by nearby producers, are the foundation of every dish. In a bright dining room with elegant, well-spaced tables, you can enjoy the flavours of Sologne in a setting that feels both typical and refined. The kitchen’s approach is straightforward: let the ingredients speak. This commitment to quality and place has earned La Chaumière a Michelin Recommended distinction.
Beyond the table, the hotel offers rooms of character, each with its own charm—woodwork, garden views—designed for rest. The surrounding landscape is a wild, abundant paradise for nature lovers, with the Loire Valley châteaux and the hills of Sancerre just a short drive away. Aubigny-sur-Nère itself is a land of history, where Scottish colours and festive traditions still resonate, especially during summer celebrations. Whether you come for the cuisine, the calm, or the countryside, La Chaumière provides a genuine taste of Sologne.
