The same family has owned the Maison de la Ronade for more than 500 years. Behind this Renaissance-era mansion's stone walls you'll find a salon de thé awash in old-fashioned hospitality. Ask the distinguished hosts for advice on choosing between over 100 teas, and nibble home-baked carrés de Salers (buttery square cookies) while you wait for it to infuse.
Timers are provided to ensure you adhere to the correct infusing time for your chosen tea (it matters).
