    Déjà vu. As we drove…read moreup to the Château, something tugged at my memory about this place. It was familiar...but from where? A contact I had in Normandy made a reservation for me here, knowing my interest in local cuisine and ingredients. Sitting in the main dining room with an exquisite view of the French (English, to some) Channel and watching the tides' tremendous retreat, it struck me. Anthony Bourdain had been a guest of Chef Olivier Roellinger in his Brittany episode...which may explain why, at 2 tables, people were taking pictures of every dish. Gastro-tourism at its finest. What was nice about having seen the show was knowing the backstory. The attention to detail, the emphasis on local ingredients, the gardens, the locally sourced meats and fish. Even the simple country bread was memorable. We enjoyed a decadent (prix fixe) lunch, consisting of an appetizer, entrée, and dessert. The selections were seafood focused, with local Cancale Oysters as a highlight (you can see the chateaux from the oyster houses on the coastline), and various fish and shellfish. I enjoyed the "Mont St. Michel" lamb, as well. World class, exquisite fare that was fresh beyond belief...although classic French, the modern influences, even some Asian in a little lagniappe that we had at the start of the meal. (Yes, I know lagniappe is Cajun not Continental French, but although you can take the girl out of Louisiana...) We could not pass up the cheese cart (insert between entree and dessert). It's a required gastronomic experience when visiting northern France...Normandy and Bretagne cheeses are the best in the world, in my opinion...though my Norman travelling companion had a strong opinion on #1 in that constest. The dessert cart was a superlative experience...one could make a feast of that alone. I went for a mere four little tastes including a delicious pistachio confection and (for me) the obligatory chocolate treat. The wine list was pretty phenomenal, as I would expect, and we enjoyed a bottle of Chassagne Montrachet, a noteworthy wine to accompany an unforgettable experience. Indeed. I won't forget this one.

    On of the most romantic place I Have ever seen. The…read morerestaurant Roellinger in Cancale in nw closed and part of the team joins this hotel/restaurant and you can find some of the well know plate invented by Roellinger.

    I arrived at this lovely hotel from Paris. Booked only one night for proximity to tour pickups…read morenearby. Wished I had booked two nights as returning to add a night online a bit later revealed they were fully booked. The hotel is lovely in its decor and design. The room was generously sized and lovely. Reception staff was welcoming and pleasant. A purchased coffee and muffin were a quick takeaway breakfast and both were delicious. Overall an excellent value considering the service, setting, and accommodations.

    This hotel was absolutely wonderful. We stayed at the Villa Lara portion. The lobby is quaint and…read morehomelike and the staff there was always kind and considerate and helpful. They got to know us in just a couple days and made every restaurant reservation for us. Just off the lobby is a small bar that is well stocked and managed by the front desk. Seating there is comfortable. The breakfast is plentiful and excellent. As for the rooms ... we could not believe how spacious, comfortable, quiet and pleasant in terms of temperature they were. The beds were also excellent and the bathrooms spacious. We were totally blown away by the quality. To top it all off, the location is perfect. Just a few blocks from the city center, and as a result many restaurants. We never had to walk more than 10 minutes any evening for our dinner reservations. And, even the Bayeux Tapestry is just a few minute walk. I have absolutely nothing negative to say about his hotel in any way. If you are visiting Bayeux, stay here.

    Beautiful chateau just west of Tours, France. It's not the largest chateau, though it is very…read morelarge, but what really sets this place apart from the others is its gardens. The largest and most intricate gardens of any of the chateaus in the valley. Some of them are flowers and shrubs, others are fruit-bearing plants, but they're all beautiful. The interior of the chateau, don't get me wrong, is quite nice as well. Several rooms are intricately detailed, but the gardens are the big draw here. A nice touch, there are a couple boutiques where you can buy souvenirs, of course, but one of the boutiques is geared towards gardening, which is very on brand for this chateau. Also nice, you can buy seeds from the gardens for your home garden, very nice touch! If you're planning to travel here and have a home garden, look into your country's laws regarding bringing home seeds as that could be quite the nice souvenir.

    Stunning property but the staff didnt do ONE extra thing to make it special- it felt lazy and…read morecheaply run. No Chocolates at turndown, No fruit plate or wine upon arrival, No turndown service- Room was messy and unstocked for coffee when I returned From Our 400$ dinner each night. when i asked for coffee service in the am - the same lady said I had a coffee machine in the room- I explained that I wanted to order coffee on a tray with Hot Milk in my room because I was on VACATION! When we arrived there was a lady at The front desk who sort of pointed to us where to park and didnt have anyone to get our luggage!!! I mean - is this supposed to be a luxury Relais and Chateaux? Because it isn't one- lazy and terrible service- A Hilton would be more special- honestly.
