L'Epicurium

Top choice in Auvergne


This gastronomy-obsessed guesthouse has six spacious lodgings renovated with minimalist flair: ceilings are high, tones are neutral, and there are period features like wooden beams and chimney places. Creaky floors are also part of the old-world charm. Breakfast involves a toothsome range of homemade jams, and you can add a three-course meal (€18) or a gourmet picnic (€10).

Reception is open between 5.30pm and 7pm, so call ahead with your arrival time.
