The Experience

The secluded old buildings house two owner families, a restaurant, several guest rooms and 15 tons of ever-present live fish. Fishing folk gather on Sundays to catch trout in the spring water that feeds the ponds; groups come for speciality lunches. Meals are served alongside your hosts and fellow guests around one big table, and may include trout terrine, home-reared salmon, a neighbour’s potatoes, wild asparagus in buttery sauce, cinnamon custard. For breakfast share brioche, baguettes, croissants, yogurt, fruit salad, cereals, apple juice and their own jams and honey. Created in an old mill 40 years ago, the bedrooms under the eaves are mostly small-windowed, simply furnished and prettily decorated in rustic or ‘grandmother’ style. Other rooms are in the newly built half-timbered cottage across the drive. At one end of the shop – packed with cottage-industry goodies (charcuterie, honey, jams, wine and champagne) – is a wide floor of thick glass under which immense fish can be seen swimming to and fro between the water tanks. A pony wanders freely in the grounds. Wonderful food and service – and good English spoken.

Reviews

Steve

These charming, quixotic hosts rescued us at short notice to provide a welcoming overnight stay and homemade supper and breakfast. Their chambres d'hôte accommodation, set in their trout farm which is located in a tranquil country location but handy for motorway access, is family run with individual style and passion. Highly recommended!


Mike

A wonderful place to stay as a stop-over or for longer. We stayed for two nights , enjoying the company of other guests at our meal on first night, then, since we were the only guests on the second night, Alexandre and Chantelle joined us for a delightful meal. Food is excellent and in keeping with their general approach - simple cooking using local ingredients, so their own trout for an evening meal, and for sample, home-made jams at breakfast using very local produce. The rooms are fairly simple,but spacious and well equipped. All in all, a memorable stay.


Malcolm

We stopped for two nights and it was a great start to our holiday. The owners were very welcoming and the accommodation was clean and comfortable and the food was excellent. Loved the decking area where you could sit and chill with a glass of wine.


Rajiv

A lovely bed & breakfast in Champagne which doubles as a trout farm. Comfortable and ideally located if you are driving from Calais to the south of France, Switzerland or Italy. Sandrine cooked us a delicious dinner too. Highly recommended!


Chris

Wonderful experience from arrival to departure. Rooms were excellent and a separate lounge area with free tea, coffee, soft drinks , cakes and biscuits during stay. Champagne, wine and beer available in lounge fridge for reasonable charge. Outdoor seating as well. Dinner was extremely good with home grown smoked salmon and trout and lots of wine and wonderful cheese and dessert made all the more enjoyable by the company of the hosts. Beautiful peaceful setting and all your needs catered for. Highly recommend.


Location

The neighbourhood

Local points of interest from Alexandre & Sandrine Mesley

  • You could visit Troyes 23km from us, which is a medieval town very well restaured and travel in the past and become a notable, an artisan, a trader or a church man from the 14th century . Walk in the pedestrian streets and discover all the wooden pan house
  • Discover the little town of Chaource, 30km from us, where a beautiful church is waiting for surprising you with its crypt and statue of burial of christ made by the Master of Chaource, famous sculptor from the 16th century, in the middle of nature.
