Auberge des Templiers

Some things never go out of fashion… This former posthouse, the quintessence of Sologne architecture, whose half-timbered, pink brick façade and stone walls date back to the 17C, boasts former guests of the likes of none other than Mistinguett and Maurice Chevalier. Take a seat in this timeless setting, depicted by massive oak beams, Gien earthenware and crystalware and admire the magnificent grounds planted with hundred-year-old trees from the dining room windows. The labours of neighbouring producers are celebrated in a nose-to-tail, zero waste culinary score. The wine cellar, home to several exceptional vintages, will knock the socks off some of the most blasé wine buffs!
