This residence in Lyons-la-Forêt, which opened in 1610, was first a coaching inn before accommodating La Licorne Royale in its refined Napoleonic interior. Christophe Poirier's cuisine showcases top-quality local produce, vegetables from an organic market gardener and meat from farm-raised animals. Precise cooking, punchy sauces: tangy beetroot vinaigrette with trout, orange butter with scallops, concentrated truffle meat jus. Pleasant terrace overlooking the garden and elegant guestrooms to prolong the experience.
