French Hotels – Alastair Sawday’s Special Places to Stay
Description
These special places are for the butcher, the baker, the candlestick-maker, but not for the ‘consumer’, the mini-bar seeker, the palate-destroyer. The book is for those who appreciate the nonconformist efforts of our owners who have refused to yield to pressures from all sides and who have followed their own passions. You may be someone who usually books unpretentious family-run inns but who likes the occasional ‘splurge’ in a Loire château or a smart Provençal hotel. Or, you may be tired of large chain hotels and be yearning for something more characterful, less formal. We just hope that you won’t ‘do’ 10 places in 10 days. Stay a few days at least and get under the skin of the place.
This is Britain’s best-loved book on French hotels – andd no wonder, for it is awash with glorious places
Gypsy caravans, mountain-top villages, dovecotes, haylofts, châteaux, manors and cottages – irresistible
Fresh regional food – a passion for it bubbles on these pages. And wonderful value: over 200 places with rooms for less than €90 (360)
You will be properly welcomed by the fascinating people who run these hotels with such commitment and flair
