Auberge Campagnarde Ailloud sur Saint-Genix-Sur-Guiers

We chose the Auberge Campagnarde Ailloud, a local venue whose owners we already knew very well. What a joy to be able to celebrate our wedding in a place so dear to our hearts, in the heart of the village where the bride grew up. Just a stone's throw from the village center, yet nestled amidst greenery and traditional buildings, the inn offers an absolutely magnificent setting. The natural charm of the place is almost self-sufficient and ultimately requires very little decoration. The large tables with their wooden tops create a real "wow" effect on their own, enhanced by a few carefully chosen decorative touches. We had access to the venue from Friday morning to set up our secular ceremony, and then inside the inn as soon as service was over. This allowed us to calmly prepare for our wedding, without any stress, and even to enjoy dinner on the terrace with our wedding party and close family the night before the big day. Catherine guided us throughout the entire setup process, offering invaluable advice and allowing us to arrange the spaces exactly as we envisioned. This allowed us to comfortably accommodate our 130 guests for the cocktail reception and 75 for the meal. We held our secular ceremony in the meadow adjacent to the inn. The space was more than adequate for all our guests while still providing a dedicated area for refreshments during our couple's photo session. We had also planned for gazebos as a backup in case of bad weather, but thankfully, they weren't needed! The inn's parking lot, along with another just a few dozen meters away, made parking incredibly easy for all our guests. The cocktail reception then took place on the inn's terrace, shaded by trees and surrounded by lush greenery. The setting was absolutely stunning and was a hit with all our guests. The group photos were taken in front of the magnificent flowerbed near the terrace, allowing everyone to fully enjoy the cocktail hour. All the activities we had planned took place, including the ribbon game with the groom's bottle. As night fell, we lit the garlands and lanterns we had added to the bistro lights already set up by the Bazin family. The atmosphere was magical. We served the cake and champagne outdoors before being dazzled by the fireworks display that our loved ones had arranged as a surprise. The evening continued on a dance floor that was packed all night long. Our guests danced until after 5:00 a.m. in an incredible atmosphere. A huge thank you to Catherine and the Bazin family for their availability, kindness, and trust. We couldn't have dreamed of a more beautiful place to celebrate our wedding.

An unexpected stop but a wonderful surprise! Very warm welcome. The set menu was simple but delicious, with REAL sauces. The dessert was incredibly light and flavorful.

A lovely place. An "old-fashioned" inn that knows how to welcome and satisfy its guests. The frogs' legs are very good.

Beautiful rustic establishment, it's magnificent...excellent staff and cuisine

We were at an excellent wedding venue.

A real surprise! I stopped at Auberge Ailloud without knowing the place, and I almost missed it because it's not visible from a distance. But once inside, you discover a rustic, warm, and authentic setting, much closer to traditional restaurants of yesteryear than today's trendy downtown establishments. My meal lived up to the decor: a welcoming team that made me feel right at home, and truly surprising dishes. I don't usually like duck breast, but on their recommendation, I decided to give it a try… and it was an excellent discovery! The dish was completely different from anything I'd experienced before. And to finish, a Baked Alaska that crowned the meal in the most delightful way. If you're in the area, between Belley and Les Abrets, stop by Saint-Genix-sur-Guiers to discover this charming country inn that truly lives up to its name. Thank you to the whole team for your friendliness and excellent service.

A very nice inn with a superb welcome and excellent service. Parking is easy, and the dishes are hearty, generous, and above all, delicious.

Sunday lunch at Auberge Ailloud: verdict… we had a wonderful meal! 😋 A fantastic welcome, a warm atmosphere, and a true family-run inn where parents and children work together. Result: delicious… we ate too much… but we left happy! 😄🍽️ Just the kind of place we love. We'll be back!

No-nonsense, no-fuss, just simple and generous cuisine

If you're looking for a charming country inn serving delicious homemade food, then you've come to the right place! Special mention goes to the generous father-and-son chefs who treated us to a wonderful meal!
