Lovely and well appointed with restricted access to pool
Pros:

It’s a lovely and charming hotel with that seamless understated elegence the French do so well in a fab central location.

Cons:

The pool is fantastic but open rarely. It opens at 2 in the afternoon so as we stayed only one night our morning swim and therefore any swim was not possible, which is a shame as we booked it for the pool.

On reviendra
Pros:

Hôtel avec un trés bon emplacement. Les chambres sont confortables malgré une décoration un peu dépassés, le côté positif est que la chambre est bien entretenu, bravo les gars de la maintenance. Le petit déjeuner est correct bien qu'un peu petit et la piscine est un petit luxe.
Le personnel est au top du top.

Cons:

La piscine est un peu fraiche et le petit déjeuner mériterait un peu plus de variété.
