"Lyons-la-Forêt is designated as one of Les Plus Beaux Villages de France, or the Most Beautiful Villages of France, so it’s no surprise that its oldest hotel is a picturesque landmark. Hôtel La Licorne & Spa dates back to 1610, and its timber-framed façade is quintessentially Norman in style. A cobblestoned path leads through the high-arched entryway to lush rear gardens, with umbrella-shaded café tables and a restored farmhouse that frames the quiet indoor-outdoor pool." - Tablet Hotels
