Frédéric Doucet's restaurant is a creative and exciting new take on established ideas of terroir and tradition. The son of bistro owners, he was born into the business, and cut his teeth in the kitchens of some of the greats, from Pierre Orsi and Paul Bocuse to the prestigious Maison Troisgros. In his premises nestled in the heart of a village with pointed towers and weathered roofs, the chef breaks it down for diners: nothing but fine ingredients from Saône-et-Loire (including Charolais beef, snails, Crisenon trout and goat's cheese), prepared by means of rigorously applied classic techniques that do not exclude flashes of inspiration. "Jambonnettes de grenouilles laquées aux couleurs des prairies charolaises" or "Le bœuf est dans le pré" are just two of the must-try dishes. The hotel also draws you in with a spa and highly appealing guestrooms.
