Fodor's Review:

Idyllically situated in ancient Troyes and named after the city's centuries-old roosting haunts of storks, this ensemble of three vine-clad pink-and-yellow 15th- and 16th-century houses (their bright colors are part of a town campaign to "medievalize" half-timber facades) seem ready to receive Manon Lescaut on the run. A daub-and-wattle facade abuzz with the pattern of timbered logs and a storybook courtyard, graced with a fairy-tale staircase, overhanging porch, and cobblestone patio, all set the scene for the charm within. Tin chandeliers, Nantes silks and calico hangings, 15th-century scrollwork panels, beamed roofs right out of the Return of Martin Guerre, and more traditional luxe touches make the interiors a joy. The guest salon is set in a vaulted cave-wine cellar fitted out with the latest in soigné furniture. The biggest guest room, the Suite Médiévale, is under the oak-beam eaves, while the Salle Bleue (Blue Room) looks worthy of the cover of Maison Française. Pros: quiet, comfortable rooms; friendly service; kid friendly. Con: breakfast and parking cost extra.
