Again, this is about the food. Some of the rooms in this little hotel in northern Auvergne have been brought up to date, the others are quite old fashioned, all are on the small side. The decor is on the provincial/depressing side. But the restaurant, which once had a Michelin star, serves up extremely tasty regional fare. ( I recall having the absolute best skate cooked in butter and chives that I have ever tasted there). The prices are not prohibitive, a double can be had for $80, there' a prix fixe for $25, there is a substantial list of good, extremely affordable local wines. One can take in a genuine curiosity in the little town: There is a Romanesque church whose nave suddenly deviates at an angle of thirty degrees in its middle, as if the architect had changed his mind in mid construction. And there's a quite interesting wine museum in town for the oenophiles among you.
