Fodor's Expert Review La Cimentelle
4 rue de la Cimentelle, Avallon, Bourgogne-Franche-Comté, 89200, France
Originally part of the Vassy cement works, this elegant 19th-century manor offers comfortable guest rooms decorated with family heirlooms; even the bathrooms are inviting (the Hippolyte Room, for instance, has an open-plan bathroom with a freestanding tub near the fireplace). Generous breakfasts—including homemade jams, light-as-air pancakes, and fresh croissants—are served in the pretty conservatory at intimate individual tables; convivial evening meals (reservations essential) are served around a communal table.
