Best time to Visit
Good time to visit
Average time to visit
With moderate winters and summers, this is a perfect place to visit in the Spring, Summer and Autumn. A spring in France provides the right climate for the picturesque green hills with pretty flowers and calm weather. April showers occur on occasion, but it is nothing an umbrella cannot handle. Spring and summer are especially lovely because of the beauty that these seasons bestow upon the French countryside, however, the Autumn months make travel and site seeing very doable - even with the occasional drizzle and chillier conditions in the evenings as the end of the Autumn draws in.

The rooms each share one of these views, and their large windows ensure a light and airy atmosphere. With a pop of colour added to the overall muted palette, the rooms are bright and welcoming, and supremely comfortable. Some rooms feature balconies overlooking the town, which are a fantastic option for those looking to watch the sunset in complete privacy.
Guests can also use the spacious terrace, and enjoy a drink or a meal with a view in the summer months. Sheltered by a canopy, both sun and shade are provided, or alternatively the inside bar space is a contemporary and comfortable option. For a larger evening meal the Hostellerie de Plaisance restaurant is housed in an expansive dining room with exposed wooden beams and rich, stylish furnishings. A Michelin-starred restaurant offering classic but creative cuisine with a fabulous service and extensive wine cellar, dinner here should not be missed!
