Le Chêne Fleuri sur Chartres

26/01/2026: We came this weekend to celebrate a birthday at this hotel, specifically at the La Cour restaurant, before having a drink at the Le Madrigal bar. The bar has changed a lot: it now offers a beautiful view of the bottles and the bar counter, and the lounge area is very pleasant. The La Cour restaurant, with its glass roof, is bathed in light; this Saturday, the sun was shining, which made the experience even more enjoyable. We enjoyed a delicious Coteaux-du-Layon, as well as a glass of rosé champagne, accompanied by a slice of Chartres pâté. For our main courses, we had an excellent vol-au-vent, followed by scallops served with a smooth purée and a perfectly executed gratin dauphinois. To finish, an absolutely delicious Grand Marnier soufflé, served in a small glass—a very clever touch that allows you to control the amount of Grand Marnier you enjoy. The service was expertly handled by Isabelle, who was kind, friendly, and attentive from beginning to end. She even sang "Happy Birthday" to conclude the occasion, making us feel right at home. We had a wonderful time and were delighted to meet the hotel-restaurant's chef, Georges Thomas Parnaud, with whom we chatted and took a photo. He was very friendly and took the time to share this special birthday moment with us. We will definitely be back very soon. A big thank you to the entire team.

25/01/2026: A magnificent hotel, spacious, well-maintained, and elegant rooms. The hotel service was very professional and attentive. We then opted for a couples massage. One of the two masseuses was truly very pleasant and caring, but mine spent 50 minutes sniffing and yawning widely, making a noise that clearly showed she didn't want to be there—a wasted moment, which was a shame. We went to tell her we had put our robes back on and were ready, only to find her half-asleep on a massage table. She then took us to the pool barefoot, the soles of our feet black... For the price, I expect elegance!
