"Staying there felt a little like having a walk-on part in a regional theater production: the 1930s auberge has a scruffy, bonhomous charm, nine simple rooms, and an impromptu community of guests, young staff, and visiting winemakers who smoke and play foosball in the tiny town square. I loved the food-driven, communal atmosphere—cèpes starred in an excellent risotto at lunch, a quivering egg yolk surrounded by mushrooms at dinner by visiting chef Mathilde Denuncq was memorable, and breakfasts featured warm baguettes, staggering fruit compotes, just-made yogurt, jars of granola, legit coffee, and excellent teas. The wine list reads like a who’s-who of natural winemakers with hard-to-get bottles, and the auberge’s habit of inviting chefs from around the world (April–October) only adds to its lively, creative spirit." - Christine Muhlke Christine Muhlke Christine Muhlke is a former editor at both The New York Times and Bon Appétit.

"The lone accommodation in its small village within a regional natural park, offering nine guest rooms situated next to a 12th-century church—an intimate, countryside base for exploring local farms and wandering quiet lanes." - Travel + Leisure Editors
"A small, ingredient-obsessed hotel/restaurant in the south of France that functions as a creative training ground for chefs; the place is described as a kind of informal 'Cordon Bleu' where cooks refine a pared-back, produce-focused approach during intensive summer seasons." - Adam Coghlan
"A venerable inn/restaurant southwest of Lyon whose traditions and training were particularly instructive for the chef and helped shape his culinary approach." - James Hansen
"A venerable auberge in the French countryside (south west of Lyon) where Myers recently cooked; presented as a traditional, respected country inn whose rural, French sensibilities have informed his approach to seasonality and country cooking." - Adam Coghlan
