Auberge de l'Abbatiale

What a find! We had to find a last minute stopover on our drive to the Alps as our travel plans changed, saw the good reviews of the Auberge and booked 2 rooms and dinner for the 4 of us. We were warmly welcomed and made very comfortable by Maria, and were astonished at what a beautiful building we were staying in. The rooms were warm, the beds comfortable and we had plenty of hot water for showers. Dinner was delicious, and freshly home cooked local produce - and they were happy to accommodate the vegetarian in our party. Breakfast was simple but again delicious and our hosts were very friendly and helpful. If we are driving through France again we would definitely return here and recommend it - a very unusual, charming, history-packed place to stay!

It’s not every night you sleep in a four poster bed in a C13 building! Auberive is a picturesque village built around the abbey - which is 3 or 4 miles off the motorway near Langres (about 5 hours drive south from Calais). The auberge is the original guest house to the old abbey and has 6 rooms. Our room was large and historic, but very comfortable and warm with a modern en suite shower and loo. Hairdryer also provided. Dinner (€43 per head for 4 courses) and breakfast were in a magnificent dining room with a vaulted ceiling and huge open log fire, approached through the medieval kitchens. The food, cooked by the lady owner, was superb as were the excellent selection of local wines. The lady owner is charming and made us feel extremely welcome. It was a more expensive stay than we might otherwise have chosen for an overnight stop on the way back from skiing, but it was a real treat and a wonderful experience. We would highly recommend it to others. You won’t be disappointed. Stayed March 2022

Wir lieben diese alten Gebäude. Und - hej Leute - was soll das Gemaule ? Wenn man in einem so alten Gebäude übernachtet weiß man was einen erwartet. Der Empfang war super freundlich. Das Personal spricht Englisch. Genial : die offene Dusche in einer Mauernische. Das Abendessen war top mit exzellenten Weinen. Wir würden jederzeit wieder kommen.
