Thatched coaching inn
Travelers have stopped here since the coaching era, trading the highway for oak woods and a heated garden pool.

The rooms
Bedrooms are spread across thatched cottages and timbered pavilions, with exposed oak beams and windows facing the wooded grounds.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
Sun loungers and white parasols line the water, looking out across manicured lawns toward thatched cottages.
At the table
The Michelin-starred restaurant serves regional Loire dishes beneath heavy oak beams, and sunny mornings bring breakfast to the lawn.
How it began
The inn takes its name from a twelfth-century Knights Templar commandery that once stood along this royal road.

It could only be here. You wake up knowing where you are.

The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.

A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.

Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
