Time travel to a more glamorous era at this luxurious hotel by the Parc des Sources. Get comfy in the downstairs bar, where stained-glass windows cast a soft light over sleek leather sofas, or plunge into the heated outdoor pool (summer only). Either way, you'll retreat to romantic lodgings with marbled bathrooms, warm maroon decor and plenty of space.

The downstairs Véranda Restaurant serves well-executed bistro fare like beef steak or quenelles (lunch menus from €17, mains from €11).

Breakfast is an extra €15.
