L’échappée belle hôtel restaurant — Restaurant in Auch

I picked this hotel based on it's proximity to Toulouse airport, about 20 to 30 minutes drive away. I wanted to stay in a traditional French village rather than a busy city centre. The hotel had some very good reviews, and although I wasn't sure how a modern hotel would fit in a traditional setting, I decided it would be an interesting change. L'Isle-Jourdain is a lovely little village for a start, and the hotel is right in the village square. The exterior is a bit different, but it blended in really well with the rest of the architecture. Inside, the hotel was really lovely and had a scandanavian feel to it. I thought it was really well done, and quite a refreshing take on things. The welcome and service were excellent, and we decided to eat at the hotel that evening. The food was really delicious, and we had a delightful evening. We were a group of 7 and had booked 4 bedrooms. The bedrooms were all lovely and individual, and the beds were very comfy. If you like a modern twist on things, then this could be the hotel for you. My parents are in their late seventies, and they thought...

I arrived on a chilly Friday night and was enveloped in the warmth of this friendly hotel and restaurant immediately I stepped through the door. The staff spoke English, I dumped my luggage off in the comfy room and headed to the restaurant. What a surprise - it was superb. I had a cocktail of the local Armagnac a l'Orange with sparkling wine, which was a real pick me up after a long day of travelling. The menu was seriously tempting but the server suggested I try the chef's special a fish and wild mushroom dish - absolutely delicious, I'd go back to this place just for the food. But, the hotel is also great, modern, fresh but with plenty of soul. I slept like a baby and next morning headed out to the market on the square outside. It took about 25 minutes to get there from Toulouse airport, the town is the gateway to the Gers so the hotel is in a great location as a base for the area and near enough to pop into the city of Toulouse as well. Will definitely be returning...
