Top interior designer Jacques Garcia has completely transformed this hotel into a theatrical setting of baroque luxury. Sofas with lion paws and oriental charms sit contentedly beside velvety wall hangings. There is a touch of Jean Cocteau here too, in a chandelier that appears out of a wall… The essential points on your itinerary should include visiting the region which is one of the most beautiful parts of France and sampling the recipes concieved by Michel Trama, notably his potato papillote and lobster lasagne, both of which make the restaurant an address not to be missed.
