La Boule D'Or sur Barbezieux-Saint-Hilaire

12/11/2026: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ **A truly wonderful discovery, an address we highly recommend!** During our journey between Paris and Lourdes, we discovered La Vieille Auberge, where we had the pleasure of staying both ways. We particularly appreciated the quality of the traditional cuisine, generous and flavorful, as well as the excellent food offered by the establishment. The rooms are clean, quiet, and comfortable. The bedding is of very high quality and allowed us to enjoy truly restorative sleep after our long days of walking around Lourdes. But beyond the comfort and the food, what we will remember most is the human touch of this inn. Arlette, who has run this inn for over 36 years, gave us a particularly warm welcome. We also greatly enjoyed our conversations with her children, Katia and Franck, who are gradually taking over with great friendliness, helpfulness, and kindness. Here you'll find a truly family-run business, on a human scale, where hospitality and personal contact with guests are still paramount. An authentic establishment, far removed from impersonal hotels, where you feel comfortable and are happy to return. A big thank you to Arlette, Katia, and Franck for these delightful moments. **We sincerely recommend this place and will gladly return!** Odile and Maxime
