Les Ursulines Review

Placed above the Roman ramparts of the old city, this gorgeous 17th-century convent has been transformed into a delightful hotel, complete with spacious guest rooms, an antiques-adorned restaurant, and a splendid, geometric, French-style garden. Guest rooms, which are gradually being redecorated, have a wide range of decor: some have folkloric headboards, red drapes, and wood-beam accents; others are much less alluring; and the best have fine views of the surrounding Morvan hills. The restaurant, which is newly installed in the historic chapel, offers ambitious and usually successful nouvelle dishes, along with some old favorites (such as the snail-filled pastry and Bresse chicken).
