Flanked by cow-filled pastures en route to Le Mont-Dore's ski lifts, this old-school, family-run hotel offers low-priced rooms upstairs (the cheapest with a shared bathroom), and a folksy farm-style restaurant downstairs. There are reasonable guest rates for breakfast (€6), half-board (€22.50) or full board (€34).
The rustic restaurant is a key part of this place's allure, with its checked tablecloths, beamed ceilings and hearty menus (from €12).
Large apartments sleeping up to seven people are available from €300 per week. However long your stay, book well in advance.
