l'Auberge du Vieux Puits sur Fontjoncouse

Hello, Dining here is more than just having a meal. It's a truly immersive theatrical experience. The decor is refined and sublimely understated. The lighting is designed to showcase your dishes. The music is soothing. The servers know their lines perfectly as they present the dishes and their stories. A huge thank you to them for the magic and the quality of the presentation. The dishes are executed to perfection; each element seems crafted by a watchmaker. The combinations are surprising and perfectly balanced. The lingering flavors are incredible. The wine pairings are expertly arranged by passionate sommeliers, further elevating the experience. Thank you for allowing me to experience these emotions. I hope everyone has the opportunity to experience something like this someday.

From the Loire Valley, we decided to celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary. We were absolutely delighted. The food and service were pure poetry, magic, and local flavors—everything we love. Thank you for the thoughtful touches everyone brought us. Happy anniversary to the man celebrating his 28th wedding anniversary today, who was kind enough to have a chocolate brought to me because I don't like fruit jellies. I didn't get a chance to say thank you, so thank you to him. A final word about Axel's chocolates. They are divine, and Axel is a chip off the old block. So generous and kind. Our mothers are going to love them. Thank you all.

An exceptional experience, thank you Mr. Goujon and his entire team for this unique moment shared with family. Divine dishes bursting with flavor, thank you!

We had been wanting to discover Gilles Goujon's Auberge du Vieux Puits for a long time, and we had a truly exceptional experience. Everything was perfect: the tastes, the flavors, the presentation of the dishes, the quality of the ingredients, the service, and the attentiveness of the staff. A genuine gastronomic experience from beginning to end. We also had the pleasure of meeting Chef Gilles Goujon, who took the time to chat with us and share a bit of his story. We discovered a passionate person, deeply in love with his craft and very attached to his village. A great chef, wonderfully down-to-earth, and above all, with a big heart. A magical place, exceptional cuisine, and a fantastic team. An experience we won't forget, and one that was well worth the wait. Thank you to the chef and his entire team for this wonderful moment.

Absolutely perfect. We didn't stay at the hotel, so I can't rate the rooms.

A truly unique experience. I'll try to describe the food... The welcome was perfect, the staff numerous and smiling but not intrusive, and I must emphasize the quality of the staff, with a special mention for Claudio and the sommeliers... I've rarely seen such expertise. Chef Goujon greets each table at the beginning and end of the meal. A giant of world cuisine. It all started with an aperitif, a revisited kir... with Blanquette de Limou: delicious. The amuse-bouches were exquisite and delicate, pairing perfectly with the kir. Then we chose the festive menu, followed by the wine pairing menu. And that was incredible... It's impossible to describe, as much information would be inaccurate given the sheer number of dishes and components. In short, remember the refined, sophisticated cuisine, the perfect pairings, and the promotion of regional cuisine. I've included a few photos, but this is a must-visit. Some will say it's a budget... certainly, but I prefer to save up and pay for this type of service rather than going to restaurants where everything is reheated...

We celebrated a birthday in August. It was very good but not a real surprise...it was quite classic compared to other 3 Michelin-starred restaurants we've tried...so a little disappointed...however, the staff were fantastic!

Very nice hotel and restaurant in a lovely hill town. While it was generally a lovely experience, there were a few things that let it down. Restaurant: Delightful degustation, with a very sweet and thoughtful souvenir menu surprise. I appreciated the opportunity to choose the vegetarian option. While the restaurant service was professional, it was a little hit and miss. We were left in the aperitif area while other groups were escorted to their table. In the end, I approached someone and said we were ready to be seated. The sommelier I spoke to was friendly and helpful, while one of the waiters came across a little pompous and condescending. The signature truffle egg and cheeseboard trolley were a highlight. Hotel: The pool and daybeds/seating accessible through each room's terrace was a lovely environment. However, disappointingly, the wifi in the room didn't work, and while the TV was an impressive size, it was now a 75-85" blank screen. There was also only one glass next to the fridge so we had to request another one. The breakfast wasn't super plentiful and we had to repeatedly ask for items rather than being able to help ourselves. For example, no bowls for the cereal, only one egg served when I asked for boiled eggs, boiling water for tea, tea bags, a second coffee, etc. We also had to go to the kitchen to request assistance as the staff were congregating having a chat. Opposed to this were the very friendly and helpful women at reception. Tip: if you're having dinner the night before, maybe skip breakfast. The Auberge was recommended by a relative who hadn't stayed for a while and estimated the nightly tariff at half what it now costs. So I'd agree with other reviews that say the price has increased by an unwarranted amount. For this tariff, you'd expect the wifi to be working tout de suite (not via request).

We had lunch at Gilles Goujon's restaurant to celebrate my little cousin's 90th birthday. The staff is so kind, full of humor, so helpful and attentive, and to top it all off, the descriptions of the dishes are perfect. The setting is superb, the dishes wonderful, bursting with flavor, everything is so refined and subtle... Why would anyone want to die when paradise is already at the Auberge du Vieux Puits? An unforgettable day! Thank you so much!
