Overseeing both, the Head Chef is the proud owner of a Michelin star and his refined classics and healthy style of cooking is sure to please even the most critical gastronome.

Both Emma and Deborah have visited this magnificent hotel and spa several times and have worked their way through just about every treatment on the menu. This is great place to enjoy a pampering weekend with a girlfriend, or a romantic break together with some of the finest wines in France. Do not expect to diet as the food is too good but expect to walk away with a healthy glow and the wonderful fragrance of the Caudalie products.
