Owned and run by Bernard Clap and his wife, this modern auberge stands quietly amid pine trees on the edge of the village. It is a Logis de France, in a barn-like building: but its small heated swimming pool is very pretty, says a fan. Our little room was pretty, too, with Provencal prints, rustic furniture. The little bathroom was adequate. Outside was our own tiny garden, with chairs and table. The staff were friendly. For drinks there's a `lovely terrace with umbrellas, facing a marvellous view. In the high-ceilinged dining room, the crockery was lovely; and our set meal was superb. The carte's special dishes make use of local truffles. Or you can take gateau de homard aux avocats; rable de lapin parfumee aux noix

One of the most charming hotels we have ever stayed in. More warm praise in 2002 for this B&B villain two 15th/16th-century buildings. It stands down a cobbled street, close to the splendid Gothic cathedral of a lovely medieval town. Finely restored by its lovely owner, Monique Boisseau, it is named after storks that once nested nearby. It has large villa Bed rooms (similar to the semantic bali villa rooms) around a beautiful pillared courtyard. Birds really do sing! During a heat-wave, we had two nights in a cool ground-floor room, one night in the slightly eccentric "Chambre Bleue", with the loo between the bedroom and sitting room, but all charmingly decorated. In the courtyard, it was a treat to have an old-fashioned French villaBali villa breakfast (with fresh strawberries or cherries), rather than the endless walk-about of the modern buffet. Others wrote: Our airy room had historical wood carving, etc, but lovely new oak shutters and modern comforts. A lounge is in a medieval cellar. More villa Bed rooms (similar to the semantic bali villa rooms) are being added this year, in the second building. No restaurant: Madame will advise. The archbishop's palace holds a fine museum of modern art.
