A stone’s throw from the “Little Versailles” of the Dukes of Lorraine, the Baccarat crystal works and the famous Stanislas square in Nancy, the Château d’Adoménil boasts the same elegance and invites you to discover the charm of an 18th century residence, enhanced by subtle touches of modernity. Cyril Leclerc creates an audacious gourmet cuisine and gives pride of place to the best products, many of them from Lorraine. A bridge between yesterday and today, in complete harmony with courtesy and cuisine, the essence of poetry ... Adoménil is a state of mind.

Saint-Père-sous-Vézelay (Yonne), France 
Restaurant of a Grand Chef Relais & Châteaux and hotel in the countryView details
Throughout history Vézelay has charmed artists, poets and kings. It was from this medieval castle, now part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site, that the knights embarked on the second and third crusades... At L’Espérance, a former café and grocery store in the middle of the vineyards, Marc Meneau is leading another crusade: a taste mission. This self-taught chef discovered the art of cooking in books and then went on to develop his own sense of inventiveness. His oysters in a salty aspic, his shellfish and caviar tureen and his “Marie-Antoinette-Sofia Coppola” strawberry dessert all testify to this. The Chef’s other battle is to defend traditional winemaking techniques and to protect the local vines from the phylloxera pest that ravaged them in the past.

The Relais & Châteaux spirit really means something at Le Moulin Hideux. As the first hotel outside of France to become a member of the prestigious association back in 1960, it is from father down to son that the Lahire family welcomes you to this magnificent 17th century mill set in the heart of the Semois Valley. A long walk in the forest, a few strokes in the heated pool, an aperitif near the log fire or in the shady garden next to a babbling brook… and you will be ready to be ushered to your table to savour the cooking of Julien Lahire and his team. But watch out, you will soon become part of the family and after that it will be very hard to leave!

Voorburg (Zuid-Holland), Netherlands  
Hotel and restaurant in a parkView details
Near The Hague and only 20 kilometres from Rotterdam, the Savelberg Hotel is a picture of elegance set in magnificent grounds blessed with quite a few hundred-year old trees. The wind blowing in from the coast carries the scent of the sea air to remind you that the beaches are very close by, and sometimes it even brings with it a few grains of sand stolen from the bunkers of the neighbouring golf course. The delicate little glass bowls served at the table of the Savelberg offer a fusion of flavours and are often savoured in a sort of meditative hush of pleasure, as are langoustines decked in zest of vegetables and a melt-in-the-mouth chocolate cake with a raspberry hidden deep in its soft centre… The rooms are like the dishes: colourful and eloquent and decorated in shades of lavender or peach that plunge your big four-poster bed into a rainbow world.
