La Gabelle sur Saint-Florent-Le-Vieil

I highly recommend La Gabelle, located near the Maison Julien Gracq. I've been captivated by the place since I first discovered it. La Gabelle is inextricably linked to the memory of the writer. The Redureau family has cultivated a passion for the restaurant and hotel industry since 1965. Franck in the kitchen, and Brigitte and Laura in the dining room, now bear witness to this every day. I am charmed by the cuisine, my taste buds eagerly awaiting each and every occasion. This weekend, I experienced the joy of opening the curtains early in the morning—after a restful night in a very comfortable room—and discovering from my balcony the Loire River, Île Batailleuse, and its poplars so beautifully described by the author of "Les Eaux étroites" (The Narrow Waters). The Hostellerie de la Gabelle, by its very name, embodies a part of the history of Saint-Florent-le-Vieil. I thank the Redureau family for their warm welcome, the quality of the cuisine, and the comfort of the establishment!
