We were rather disappointed with our degustation meal here, as well as our two night stay. We decided on this property because it was a Relais & Chateaux, photos were magnificent and because the reviews were overwhelmingly positive. When we first arrived to the room we were quite impressed. It was huge by any standards and at least 1000 ft.². Unfortunately things went downhill from there. The bed was extremely uncomfortable. They pushed two twin beds together to make up a king bed, and while that's common in Europe, this mattress was rockhard and the sheets were stiff. They provided a TV in the room and a DVD player but when I inquired about borrowing a DVD to watch, they said they don't have any. The Wi-Fi in the room was so horrible that it made it impossible to send emails or use the Internet. This is 2015 and wifi should not be an issue, especially at these prices. The electronics in the room were a bit janky too and a broken speaker drove my husband mad when we first arrived. The service was very nice, especially at dinner. We did the full tasting and really enjoyed sitting on their terrace. Unfortunately the food was rather fussy. Almost each and every course had some sort of foam on it. They should have focused less on the foam and more on the flavors of the food. The best courses were the soups, oddly enough. Despite the gorgeous setting, I would not come back here, as the food was just disappointing.

This is a pretty cool site. The main attraction is the "backyard" area where you can see the ruins of an ancient Roman bath under excavation. Inside, they have a pretty good collection of Roman antiquities, and then there's a rotating special exhibit downstairs. The only reason I'm not giving this site five stars is that the service, while adequate, could have been better. We didn't get much of a greeting when we arrived, but that was fine. The bigger issue was that they had an employee who was very upset about the totally normal way my wife was carrying her water bottle in the gift shop area who decided to address that by barking at her more than talking. It was a fully sealed water bottle. There was no risk to their merchandise. We weren't near anything of great value. My wife doesn't speak French, but I was right there and I do, while not fluently, more than well enough to translate his concerns if he spoke in words rather than guttural noises. I'm not sure that I've ever, in any culture or language, seen someone jump right to such hostile noise masking and body language over anything, much less something so trivial as a sealed bottle of water. We still had a good time at the museum, saw some great artifacts, and learned a lot.
