Meals
Breakfast is continental with freshly locally baked croissants and baguettes, jam, Airvault honey and homemade marmalade, fruit juice, coffee, tea (our own unique blend) and chocolate.
Evening meals are available on request - the morning of the day is sufficient notice.
Unlike many places in France we are used to catering for vegetarians and try to produce a tasty menu that is balanced and varied.
As we prepare as much of the food from fresh raw ingredients, as possible, we provide additive free meals, and as a consequence we are happy to cater for dietry requirements, such as wheat intolerance, diabetes and nut allergies.
Your fare will vary from day to day and according to the time of year. We have a set menu each day, but do try to accommodate all requests where possible, so at the time of booking please do ask if there is anything you particularly like or indeed dislike.
Children are not forgotten and we are happy to provide meals based around their (and perhaps more importantly your) tastes, just let us know what you would like us to provide.
