€€€ ・ Modern Cuisine
Situated between the Drôme and Ardèche areas in southeastern France, this local family-run establishment dates back to 1946, when Paulette Chartron and her brother René bought the inn in this village famous for its Jean-Sébastien Bach Festival (held every summer). The key to their success? The cuisine, made from quality ingredients, reveals a definite savoir-faire: duck foie gras, sea bream, pike-perch fillet, Provençal lamb… plus there are dishes starring truffles in season. They have a handful of cosy guestrooms.
