Small town hotel very convenient for visiting the Charente area of France being close to Angouleme and just 1 hour from Limoges Airport. The hotel has large rooms, well equipped and furnished.

The Menu has an expansive choice; everyone should be able to find something to taste and/or price. Our meal was beautifully presented and the taste and quality matched the looks, absolutely exquisite. I, without any doubt will be spending my hard-earned...
