Cet écrin de verdure propose une cuisine gourmande et audacieuse, dans le respect des traditions françaises. On se délècte à la carte de "l'Escalope de foie gras chaud aux saveurs de pain d'épices " ou encore "du Saint-Pierre, purée de brocolis, crème d'orange au safran". Un voyage des sens à essayer.

But, if you have to stay overnight in Basse-Normandie (for example, for a wedding - there are many châteaux around that rent out for such events), this auberge is a very good place. Rooms are basic with dated décor, but they are clean and comfortable, with sufficient amenities (kettle, etc). There's no fans, so it could be stuffy in the summer. The dynamic owner, Mme Depoix, is a most charming hostess, and speaks perfect English. The restaurant is highly commended by critics. We didn't have the opportunity to have a meal there, but breakfast is very good, with fresh bread and excellent local products (cheeses, jams, etc).

Chantal serves lunch and dinner but you can still come round for a crisp croissant and a cafe (espresso). You can also take food back home or order a meal for a large group. The couscou is a must in those cases and is truly excellent.
