Foodie Holidays - fine cuisine every night


Unquestionably the world's finest culinary reputation


However, even in France, standards can vary significantly. This is why we regularly (and readily!) sample the menus at our hotels to ensure they offer the highest quality and best value for money.

All our French Country Hotels include breakfast and dinner


You'll also notice that because of varying levels of sophistication between restaurants, we feature the value of the menu in the description in euros to help you assess the quality of the restaurant and cuisine.

Depending on the hotel, the half-board formula consists of one of four menu types, with each hotel description stating the menu type available. Please note that supplements may apply for gala dinners over Christmas and New Year. 

Restaurant closures


As many of our hotels are family run, there is often a night each week when the restaurant is closed and this is indicated in the description. If your stay includes one of these nights, the hotel will offer you either a lunch on another day, dinner in another restaurant (you may need to drive) or a cash refund of the menu value. We recommend you do not arrive at a hotel on a day when the restaurant is closed.
