French Chateaux and Hotels: Special Places to Stay by Alastair Sawday
This is a seductive collection of over 350 hotels, chateaux, auberges and other places - beautiful, unusual and great value. All are selected and inspected by us and are here because we like them. Dip in and find over 100 chateaux, with towers & turrets; stay in a humble auberge in Alpes de Haute Provence, a stone mill in Burgundy or live it up in a boutique hotel in Biarritz. At inns, or restaurants with rooms, food takes priority - most of it is seasonal, fresh and local; in the chateaux, intimate dinners are often hosted around communal tables. Travelling with company? Book an entire hamlet on a mountaintop in the Pyrenees!
