What they say
Michelin Selected

Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
The front doors open onto Rue des Poulies, a short walk from the collegiate church of Saint-Vulfran.
The rooms
Five bedrooms occupy the main house, and two independent gîtes in the garden are built with charred timber.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The heated outdoor pool sits in the walled garden among white roses, facing the convent's brick facade.
The spa
An attic treatment room sits under exposed timber beams, hosting solo and duo massages beside botanical wall murals.
The sauna and hot tub
A large whirlpool hot tub and sauna sit beside oval windows facing the garden.
Restaurant
Table d'Hôtes
Multi-course dinners take place at individual tables several evenings a week, using regional seafood and herbs from the garden.
At the table
Breakfast is served at individual tables over terracotta tiles, with house-baked madeleines and eggs from resident garden hens.
How it began
Visitation nuns founded the convent in 1712, and it remained with one family for two centuries after the Revolution.
