L’Hôtel de Toiras
Hotel and restaurant in a village (Saint-Martin-de-Ré) The beautiful island of Ré is itself really worth a visit. Among the charming ports linked by a network of pathways to be explored by bike paths crisscrossing the sandy earth, Saint Martin de Ré, surrounded by the Vauban fortifications, is the best place to stay. Your base: a 17th century shipbuilder’s residence with windows overlooking the port or starting from May 2011 the Villa Clarisse, just a stone’s throw away, with its gardens, its views of the old town and its spa with swimming pool. The mast of a fishing boat may perhaps disturb your views of the setting sun, but would that really bother you?
Le Richelieu
Hotel and restaurant on the seafront (La Flotte-en-Ré) The old harbour of La Flotte still bears the traces of the bustling activity that used to reign over this now tranquil island in its golden age, during the 19th century. One of the best illustrations of this is the old covered market, a must-see between two dives in the sea. Just outside the village, right on the beach, your private pavilion awaits you. The view of the ocean and the very best in thalassotherapy treatments make this the perfect place to recharge your batteries. (Lys offer valid in low season from 1 November to 31 March – except for mountain properties: from 1 May to 30 November)
Relais de la Poste
Restaurant of a Grand Chef Relais & Châteaux and hotel in a village (Magescq) It is tempting to take the name of this villa literally and send it a well-mannered letter, just so it knows how much we appreciate the scent of the sea pines and the resin which drifts over those relaxing by the swimming pool or on the white sandy beaches that are scattered around the region, giving a real feel of the southwest. We wish to compliment its gourmet recipes and culinary pleasures concocted by Jean Coussau, a chef who weaves his own personal vocabulary into the grammar of the landscape, offering “Aquitaine caviar and corn blinis with single cream” and “hot duck foie gras with grapes”. And there are so many other appealing aspects about which you could write…
«Les Prés d’Eugénie» Michel Guérard
Hotel in the country and restaurant of a Grand Chef Relais & Châteaux (Eugénie-les-Bains) This romantic country palace is a haven for the senses and pure therapy for the mind and body. How can we not sing the praises of a paradise that still floats with the silky scent of the Empress? Enchanted gardens, an aristocratic dwelling, a symphonic cuisine. A love story, a little duet with vegetable and herb gardens, ancient roses and a dreamlike spa, the Ferme Thermale®. In the kitchen Michel Guérard creates celestial marvels. Everywhere else lies Christine’s poetic touch… An angel has been here! (Lys offer valid throughout the year except for weekends (“weekend is defined as the period from Friday evening to Sunday noon included))
Château de Riell
Hotel and restaurant on a river (Prades) Looking out at Mount Canigou, which is cloaked in snow year-round and set in an unspoilt valley in French Catalonia, the Château de Riell is a haven of elegance amongst the parasol pines and oleander trees. This hotel is made for those who appreciate sophisticated beauty, with its baroque interiors and a restaurant that celebrates the flavour of the local lamb and seafood. Sports enthusiasts can choose from the huge range of outdoor activities against a backdrop of breathtaking scenery. And even the most seasoned travellers will be impressed by the ambience that Biche Barthélémy has created in her castle such as the “Out of Africa” bar with its safari theme and the dacha straight out of a Russian novel where you can sit and read or enjoy your breakfast. A splendid escape in Romanesque Roussillon. (Lys offer valid throughout the year except for weekends (“weekend is defined as the period from Friday evening to Sunday noon included))
