Chavant Review

The drive is worth the 8 km (5 mi) south of Grenoble to this ivy-covered mansion, a hotel that is home to a celebrated restaurant where your rewards include a wonderfully wicked and wholly delicious lobster smothered in black truffles. Or, once the watchful eye of the delightful Danièle Chavant sizes you up, you may be in store for the unforgettable civet de biche en robe d'automne (venison with apples, potatoes, and turnips in a daube sauce). Guest rooms are elegant and spacious, overlooking meadows and forests beyond the lush garden and pool. Note that the dining room is closed Saturday lunch, Sunday dinner, and Monday. The drive is a 15-minute route south of town (out Avenue J. Perrot to Avenue J. Jaurès, which becomes Route D269) to charming Bresson.
