The hotel

A 3-star Qualité Tourisme^TM* hotel

The comfort of our guests is our top priority, which is why we use a quality approach recognised by the Qualité Tourisme^TM* certificate since June 2005 and many French and foreign tourist guides have referenced the value of our services:

• The Michelin guide since 1900!  Today, with the Oiseau du silence certificate;
• Le guide du Routard;
• Le guide Vert;
• Le Petit Futé;
• Lonely Planet;
• AAA.

Our 3-star hotel is part of the Citotel network which includes 200 independent hotels in France bound by the Tourism Quality charter.  For our guests, it is the guarantee of a personalised welcome, an excellent quality-price ratio, quality monitoring with regular checks and a town centre location.  Citotel is also a free-of-charge and commitment-free loyalty card offering guests benefits after 3 stays in hotels part of the charter.

We have chosen to be signatories to the Eco-Citizen Trade charter^®, a commitment to favour local commerce, respect the environment and preserve local economic development while defending social ethics.

We have developed a service aimed at meeting our guests’ needs with a warm welcome adapted to each person.
