Author Henry Miller knew and loved France better than many French people. He was always in search of exceptional locations that would inspire him. He originally planned to spend a week at this hotel but ended up staying a month. Inside the former tobacco drying barn that has been converted into a dining room or outside under the linden trees, Miller’s spirit lives on in the restaurant. Like the author, you will appreciate the tranquillity of this former priory with its lovely gardens, babbling brook and natural pool in which you can swim. While away the hours in this relaxed atmosphere until dusk approaches and it is time to do a tasting of some fabulous regional wines.
