Le Relais Louis XI Review

At this medieval royal stable converted into a slick modern hotel, large-windowed guest rooms manage to be both minimalistic and charming, glowing in white-on-white and chic pastel hues, warmed with working fireplaces. Built around a spacious courtyard by King Louis XI (1461-83) as an upscale lodging for horses, knights, and blacksmiths, this picturesque retreat has a rose garden and a "bio-gastronomic" pink-walled dining room (even the microwave is banned), serving lunch and candlelit dinner (closed Tuesday-Wednesday and first two weeks in January).
