30/05/2026: We received a very warm welcome. We come every year!

21/05/2026: We received a very warm welcome, thank you to the whole team, the owner, and of course our two masseuses.

05/06/2026: Decided on a change of venue for my overnight stay on the way down France and found this and was well worth the effort of searching! Will start with the food, I had the room and menu option which was unbelievable value! £132.00 for the room, 3 course dinner (with a supplement on the starter), glass of champagne and 2 glasses of very good wine and then breakfast in the morning! The food is excellent, well cooked, well presented and as delicious as I hoped it would be. The other menu option is a reasonable €40 had an impressive selection of options too. The staff were friendly and attentive without being intrusive and the chef came to chat to the customers at the end of the evening. The room was simple, but everything you need (the fan was a bit noisy but OK, there are only sachets of shower gel/shampoo so remember your own toiletries) but very clean with lovely wooden floors and a comfortable bed. Check in if the restaurant is not open is easy and hassle free. I managed to park directly opposite FOC and there is ample parking round the corner also FOC. All in all a hearty recommendation and is a short walk from the centre of Chalon if you would like a post dinner stroll (and is definitely worth the stroll from the centre of town, so reserve a table now!)

14/04/2026: Excellent welcome, generous and well-prepared home-style cooking, and a varied and high-quality wine list. It's hard to find establishments like this anymore, with a truly family-run, unpretentious atmosphere and honest cuisine.

04/10/2026: The price-quality ratio is disproportionate.

13/07/2026: Amazing food, literally 10/10. Everything was well prepared and complemented each other. Service was excellent and was amazing value for such a delicious meal.

30/09/2026: Fantastic lunch at La Maison! Seasonal starters, main courses, and desserts at a very affordable price. All the dishes are cooked like home-style, balanced, and full of flavor. The terrace is lovely! I highly recommend it! ☺️

09/08/2026: Fabulous restaurant! Gorgeous food and setting. We had a view of the huge Maison. The food was delicious - we had the vegetable tart with ham. The desserts were fantastic and so yummy 😋 Great drinks menu too Highly recommended 💞

14/06/2026: We stumbled upon this lovely little hotel by chance. We had a wonderful time. The owners are very friendly, the food is excellent, the pool is beautiful, and the rooms are simply but tastefully decorated. We'll be back soon. Thank you so much!

04/06/2026: A very warm welcome! I will definitely be back!

01/09/2026: We stopped there by chance, as it was on our way, but honestly, it's worth the detour! A wonderful welcome right from the entrance, with a magnificent fireplace. Top-notch service, and a nice bonus: dogs are welcome. As for the food, only high-quality, homemade products, from appetizer to dessert. All at a very reasonable price. I highly recommend it!

14/08/2026: Excellent meal, homemade, quality ingredients; however, the service was very slow despite the restaurant being relatively quiet.

26/08/2026: We were delighted with our visit to Chez Jérôme et Virginie. The meal was delicious and very reasonably priced. The welcome was very warm in this small, family-run restaurant. Virginie gave us excellent advice on exploring the region. Thank you!

20/08/2026: A restaurant well worth the detour. Delicious home-style cooking that brings back childhood memories. A very warm welcome.

05/08/2026: A drink stop. Very pleasant. In a small village.

30/05/2026: A sure bet, always delighted with the quality of the service, the food, and the setting, all at a very reasonable price... A delicious pizza this Friday evening. I took the opportunity to book a table for the whole family for Sunday; a very promising Mother's Day menu!

05/07/2026: A very warm welcome; although they didn't serve dinner, we were still treated to homemade snacks...toasted sandwiches, salad, etc. Excellent, I highly recommend it.

28/05/2026: Not a flattened French café with fluorescent lights, but a cozy café with a wide variety of drinks and lunch in the afternoon; it used to be located by the water, hence the name.

01/10/2026: A very pleasant surprise! I discovered this restaurant by chance. A warm welcome and incredibly kind service 💕 Good value for money, a delicious dish that reminded me of childhood memories with my grandparents 🥰 I highly recommend it if you're in the area 👍🏻

14/09/2026: The managers are great, the atmosphere is fantastic, and the pizzas are delicious. I highly recommend it.

08/09/2026: In a word: yum! In two words: we'll be back. In three words: treat yourself.

20/07/2026: Perfect for a motorcycle road trip stopover A huge thank you to Séverine and her husband for their exceptional hospitality! They are incredibly kind hosts, always friendly and smiling. The accommodation is impeccable: clean, equipped with air conditioning (a real plus!), and we took advantage of the option to have the sheets made upon arrival. Special mention for the very comfortable bedding! The setting is a true haven of peace: a lush and relaxing environment surrounded by nature, with sheep (that look like goats 🤣), chickens, and a small pond. The swimming pool is perfect for cooling off at any time of day, while respecting everyone's privacy (peace and quiet guaranteed in the evening). As for dining, everything is on-site, which is a real bonus: The restaurant offers excellent value for money; we thoroughly enjoyed our meal! Breakfast (at an extra cost) was just as good. Even though, being true Charentais Maritime locals, for us butter is semi-salted 😍 A special shout-out to the bikers ✌️: We were on a motorcycle road trip and the place is 100% perfect. The setting is completely safe and we were able to park our bikes right next to the accommodation to keep an eye on them. The hosts perfectly understand our needs (to the point of even taking the owner for a short ride to the accommodation!). Perhaps a future biker haven? Bonus: We always capture our road trips on video, especially with a drone. The owners allowed us to take off for a few minutes to immortalize our stay (we're sharing the footage with you). Thank you to them and our neighbors for allowing us. Thanks again for this wonderful stay, we'll definitely be back!

13/07/2026: A fantastic, calm, and relaxing setting, with free-roaming chickens and sheep – a truly peaceful moment. We were welcomed by a lovely young couple. The owner, besides her smile and kindness, sets the tone for the entire stay. Four superb nights in a very clean, quiet mobile home facing the lake and its fruit trees – COOL! The paella was very generous and delicious. The only slight downside was that the owner was a bit grumpy; we'll chalk it up to stress. Nevertheless, we'll definitely be back – a beautiful place that we highly recommend! 😉😉 Mr. and Mrs. Auger

24/09/2026: There were five of us. The plates were nicely presented, but some dishes lacked flavor. The atmosphere was pleasant and intimate. The bottle of red wine (€56) was served at room temperature (almost 25°C; I should have refused it when tasting it), which is unacceptable in a restaurant of this caliber. Furthermore, we had to ask for more wine, and after the service, some glasses were still nearly empty, forcing us to order another half-bottle (from the cellar this time) so everyone could have a properly filled glass. At this price point, a sommelier would be necessary to avoid these kinds of mistakes.

20/09/2026: We had dinner there on Saturday evening, September 19th. It was a very good restaurant; the food was of excellent quality, and the welcome and service were top-notch. We have absolutely no complaints. We will definitely return.
