This three-star hotel and restaurant has been welcoming guests for generations, with the same family at the helm. The restaurant is described as a "restaurant de tradition" – a place where the cooking is rooted in local, classic French cuisine. Its quality has been recognised by the Michelin Guide, which awarded it a Recommended mention for 2026.
