Chambre D'hôtes La Demeure d'Architecte — Hotel in Marmande

When we arrived, it was midnight, so the place looked as though it was closed up for the night, but we were given a very warm welcome by owner Michelle. The little private road was tricky to spot, as it was tucked back behind some hedges and seemed to go between some industrial units, but all looked better in the light of day. Breakfast was plentiful, with fresh breads and pastries from the local boulangerie, fruits, yoghurts, jams, honey and plenty of coffee - the only thing I might have wished for was something savoury by the third morning. The style of house reflects the name and I imagined it having belonged to a millionaire in the 60's or 70's. There is a well-maintaned garden to the rear, with terraces and a good size swimming pool. The town centre is just a short stroll away, with shops and restaurants, but beware if arriving slightly off-season, as the choice on Sunday and Monday evening is sparse.

Nous avons passé une nuit dans cette magnifique maison. Très bon accueil la famille est adorable ! et que dire du petit déjeuner qui était excellent ! ||Par contre nous avons choisi la chambre avec accès direct à la piscine. Et je crois une des plus chers mais pas la plus discrète, ne pensai pas vous promener nu dans la chambre sans fermer les volets, car les fenêtre donné direct sur la terrasse ou leurs espaces personnels.
