Attention lovers of beautiful stones and good cuisine, here we have a little nugget in the making!

Founded in 1707, the Hostellerie de la Poste was once a renowned establishment which saw the succession of big names such as those of Napoléon Bonaparte, Serge Gainsbourg and Liz Taylor. Although it was acclaimed for the prestige of its rooms and the quality of the dishes offered in its restaurant, which had even earned 3 stars in the Michelin guide, this charming hotel closed its doors in 2016. Since then, no one had really come forward to restore the reputation of the Hostellerie de la Poste… until the arrival of a providential entrepreneur. A lover of old stones with a well-known name…
