Hôtel Restaurant En Marge

Aureville - France 5 rooms - 1 villa

This property is open.

Hotel and restaurant in the country. On the hillsides of Aureville, in the Toulouse countryside, Isabelle and Frank Renimel have designed a welcoming and authentic home with a touch of whimsy. The brick and pebble walls of the old building have been preserved and stand in exquisite harmony with the new additions of sleek geometric lines. The decor is simple and warm, embellished with splashes of bright colours here and there. As for the five rooms, they each evoke an emotion: fun, indulgence and so on. The magic continues with the cuisine. Composed like paintings, the dishes are each signed with a flower from the garden. Highlighting the best of the region, enjoy such specialities as suckling pig or caviar from the Pyrenees. ... Learn moreless

Michel Trama

Puymirol - France 9 rooms

This property is open.

Restaurant and hotel in a village. Contemporary interior designer Jacques Garcia has worked wonders with the décor of this 13th century bastide, that was once home to the Counts of Toulouse. The mood is theatrical and luxurious. Sofas with feet that look like lion paws sit beside ancient floor tiles and velvety wall hangings. There is a touch of the artist Jean Cocteau here too, with an avant-garde chandelier that appears out of a wall. Your itinerary should include visiting the region which is one of the most beautiful parts of France, and sampling the recipes dreamt up by Chef Michel Trama, this extraordinary self-taught starred Chef, who strolls through the Lot-et-Garonne farmer markets looking for the best and the unexpected. His cuisine reveals his love of wholesome food and of life in general. You'll sample notably his potato papillote and his lobster lasagna, a few reasons the restaurant is not to be missed. ...

The Agen Market

It’s a farmers’ market. A real market, dedicated to nature, where people still roll their ’’r’’. Here, people still count to the last penny. It’s a place of freedom, where you won’t be cheated. For ’’fatty’’ products, go to the Valence-d’Agen market.

Château de Mercuès

Mercuès - France 30 rooms

This property is annually closed. Reopening on 1/30/25

Hotel and restaurant in a vineyard. Staying in this 13th century château overlooking the Lot valley is a truly unique experience, an authentic immersion in the history of France during the Middle Ages. Built on a rocky promontory, this was the summer residence of the Counts and Bishops of Cahors for seven centuries. Today, the chef draws his inspiration from local producers, and has won an international reputation for working wonders with black Lalbenque truffles and Quercy lamb. The wine list includes the great Malbec wines and vintages produced in the château’s very own wine cellars, because before being the owner, Mr. Vigouroux was the wine grower. ... Learn moreless

Cahors, Medieval Town

As the emblem of the city, the Valentré bridge is a real masterpiece of medieval military architecture. Its three fortified towers still dominate the Lot River, old alleys and tall houses.

Château de la Treyne

Lacave - France 18 rooms - 2 villas

This property is open.

Hotel and restaurant on a river. The towers of this château are so close to the river that it feels as if they are floating on it. Located between the Lot, known as the “land of marvels”, and the Dordogne, home to more than one thousand châteaux, the Château de la Treyne is the ideal base from which to set off and explore this fascinating region. The Chef adapts the cuisine of the terroir, based on foie gras or lamb from the Causses du Quercy nature park. A delicious dinner can be enjoyed in the Grand Louis XIII Salon, or on the terrace overlooking the Dordogne. Breathe in pure, fresh air and look around wide-eyed to take in this extraordinary setting. ... Learn moreless

La Chapelle Saint-Martin

Nieul - France 13 rooms - 2 villas

This property is open.

Hotel and restaurant in the country. Just outside Limoges, there is a peaceful haven where the lush vegetation is at its most beautiful. Time seems to stand still at La Chapelle Saint-Martin, where guests can step back in time and experience what life in the private residence of this 19th century porcelain manufacturer would have been like. Those who are partial to a beautiful landscape will instantly fall in love with the chapel surrounded by 35 hectares of 200 year-old trees. The surrounding countryside is delightful, and the grounds, ponds and old dock are the perfect place for quiet contemplation. While the house and gardens are historic, the inspirational cuisine is refreshingly modern. ... Learn moreless
