"Le Grand Monarque, which is home to Le Georges, has withstood the test of time – the hotel’s first mention in the Michelin Guide dates back to 1900! This elegantly appointed establishment is ideally located between Paris and the Loire at a crossroads between the regions of western France. Thomas Parnaud has steadfastly remained true to his mission of shining the spotlight on local producers who respect the environment as he deploys a top-to-tail ethos. Examples include Perche pike with Eure-et-Loir mushrooms and house-made fish garum, or Racan chicken, seasonal endive and kumquat. It would be a crime to miss his Grand Marnier soufflé, a consummately crafted masterpiece of pedigree French cuisine. The impeccably curated wine cellar boasts some 3,000 vintages with a spotlight on Val de Loire wines. Simpler, seasonal fare in the pleasant brasserie patio. The hotel’s charming guestrooms provide the icing on the cake!" - Michelin Inspector
