Fodor's Expert Review Hôtel La Sapinière

Editor's Note: This location is no longer in operation.

Overlooking a lake surrounded by fir trees (sapins in French), and renowned for its French nouvelle cuisine, this homey place will please romantics as well as sporty types. Each of the rooms has country-style furnishings, pastel floral accents, and a cozy, thick terry-cloth robe, and some also have four-poster beds and fireplaces. For those who want to get out and explore the surroundings, there are bicycles for guests to use, and the hotel also has a golf driving range, tennis courts, and facilities for rowing.
