The Templars Inn — Hotel in Épinal

We received a very warm welcome from our hosts, our French is pretty poor but they went out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed - nothing was too much trouble. ||Our kids loved staying in a converted barn within the grounds of a working farm.

A late check out time of midday made this a tranquil, comfortable and relaxing stay. The owner Jose was...

My family and I stayed here in August 2015 for one night on our way down to the south of France. We found the accommodation very clean and comfortable for the four of us.||||The owner speaks little or no English but we did not find this an issue as my wife speaks French. If you are lucky Elliot the dog will shake your hand......if he feels like it :)||||We arrived around 1900 and ended up eating at a local pizza restaurant in Charmes called Au Bonheur du Four or La Pizza Marie. The pizzas were absolutely lovely and would recommend if you arrive late...
