“One of France's most famous inns, with a renowned gastronomic heritage, lovingly restored by a 2-star Michelin chef and his wife. Stylish rooms capitalise on glorious lake and mountain views. Guests can enjoy multiple outdoor activities and the peace and quiet. Foodies will be in seventh heaven.”

Hotel review

Full marks for the pretty waterfront location, the fabulous food in Jean Sulpice's gourmet restaurant and the excellent service. The Inn has a long tradition of fine food and many rich and famous people have stayed here in the past. You can chill by the lake or take part in a whole range of exciting activities offsite - from walking to rafting and from caving to paragliding. There's a nature reserve close by and bikes can be borrowed from the hotel.
