Aubergade Hotel Luxury Lot-Et-Garonne Relais & Castles Michel Trama

"Michel Trama and Puymirol have a long history. This former champion diver and student of the decorative arts in Montparnasse owes his true calling to love… for his wife Maryse. She is the one who introduced him to fine dining. After a string of odd jobs, he settled down and opened a bistro on rue Mouffetard in Paris, with a copy of Michel Guérard's "Cuisine Gourmande" to refer to. In 1979 he set up shop in this splendid 13C country house in Puymirol, in Lot-et-Garonne: you can sit under the medieval vaults or on the lovely terrace, in the old cloister... It is time to indulge in a cuisine that incorporates both tradition and invention in an unchanging menu that makes several references to this establishment's heyday." - Michelin Inspector

Relais et Châteaux Michel Trama, a Design Boutique Hotel Puymirol, France

"The Hotel Michel Trama is located in the medieval city of Puymirol, near Agen and its airport, at the confluence of Mayenne and Gascogne. The top interior designer Jacques Garcia has completely transformed the hotel into a theatrical setting with baroque luxury. 10 rooms or suites welcome you in a XVIIIth century's inspiration style. All rooms offer a country view and private bathroom in a high comfort. Sofas with lion paws and oriental charms sit contentedly beside velvety wall hangings. There are two other major reasons why you should stop here : the region is one of the most beautiful parts of France. On site, guests can either dine at the gastronomic restaurant Michel TRAMA or at the traditional Auberge de La Poule d’Or." - My Boutique Hotel (en)

Michel Trama (Puymirol, Nouvelle Aquitaine) Verified Reviews | Tablet Hotels

"Most visitors come to Puymirol for its famous restaurant, Michel Trama, a fine dining landmark in the old walled village since 1979. But the hotel attached to the one-MICHELIN-Star establishment is just as impressive. Both are located in a 13th-century mansion that once belonged to the Count of Toulouse, and great care was taken to preserve many of its most charming features, from ancient terracotta tiles and rustic wooden beams to grand fireplaces and a spectacular staircase carved from oak. Architect and designer Jacques Garcia, known for his lavish interiors at hotels around Paris, brought his bold vision to the project, outfitting the historic country house with richly patterned rugs, antique furniture, sumptuous drapery, and heavy chandeliers." - Tablet Hotels
