Hôtel de Paris

Normandy


Set in a striking castle-like brick building on the main road that bisects Grand Andely, Hôtel de Paris is not modern or stylish, but has 11 comfortably furnished rooms with homey touches – quilted pillows, bare floorboards, duvets and wood-panelled walls. The on-site restaurant Le Castelet serves excellent, seasonally inspired dishes (mains €13 to €20).
