Hostellerie du Nord

Fodor's Review:

This sturdy white mansion began life as a coach house in the 17th century. Rubicund owner Joël Boilleaut is a noted chef and expects his diners to linger over the cheeseless three-course EUR 43 lunch menu (coffee and a half bottle of wine thrown in) or the EUR 55 four-course dinner banquet, when tuna carpaccio with fennel and spinach, and guinea fowl with licorice and apple, raise gastronomic eyebrows. The restaurant is closed Monday, Saturday lunch, and Sunday dinner, but no worries: a scaled-down bistro service provides a more than adequate alternative, with scallops and jugged hare among the healthy choices. Joël's wife Corinne oversees the prim hotel, whose small, white-walled bedrooms, adorned with gilt-framed pictures, are named after artists, including Cézanne, who stayed here in 1872, and Van Gogh, commemorated by the Chambre Van Gogh, a junior suite that provides your wood-beamed quaintest, if priciest, slumbertime option. Pros: only hotel in Auvers; great location close to river, train station, and Van Gogh's house. Cons: bland decor; small rooms.
