Parc naturel régional du Perche

The Best Day Trips Outside Paris for Great Restaurants and Bars | Eater

"A rustic 17th-century farmhouse property in the Perche countryside repurposed by chefs from Septime into a small minimalist inn and garden-driven restaurant, where ten serene guest rooms spread across stone buildings provide priority access to dinner. The kitchen adheres strictly to seasonal, regionally sourced produce and producers (eschewing olive oil and citrus), presenting dishes that spotlight vegetables and simple pleasures — examples include buttermilk-grilled leeks, crisp pickled vegetables, fresh goat cheese, bone-roasted leg of lamb, house-made pommeau foie gras with roasted shallot purée and crunchy granola, and seasonal fruit tarts — with a bakery extension that has carried popular items back to Paris." - Lindsey Tramuta
