Accommodation - Classic French Hotel with food to die for

This is a great hotel situated in St Maurice in Valgaudemar in the heart of the Ecrins Massif with spectacular views all around.

It's run by Claud and Colette whose attention to detail, amazing cuisine and friendly welcome make this an unforgetable place to stay.

It is well decorated in a classic french mountain style - the style before the chalet craze swept the alps!

There is a heated swimming pool, a volley ball court and table tennis in the garden and inside there's also a steam room to help relax your weary bones after a day in the mountains. There's a bar, the restaurant and a lounge area inside. And you'll also be treated to a free art exhibition - on display throughout the hotel is the artwork of Claud's sister, a well established local artist.

Colette's cooking is probably some of the best cuisine in the valley and it's all made using local fresh products.

It has been recommended in the 'Guide du Routard' every year since since 1996.
