Relais de La Ganache

It's a beautiful part of the world, and we enjoyed our short stay in the fairly wild garden, across from a field of horses. Finding the place wasn't easy. Our large room felt a bit dated and dusty, and could have been cleaner. The bathroom was large and across the hallway, but it wasn't shared. It was rather chilly too, unless the weather happens to be kind. The meals were the highlight. Breakfast was basic, with croissants, yoghurt, fruit, juice, and coffee or tea in a thermos. The owner came in early, then left to take his kids to school, I think. Dinner was something else: a small menu that changed each day based on what was fresh at the market and what he felt like cooking. It was served in a spectacular, delicious cordon bleu style, and was exceptional value. He runs the place single handedly, and is a delightful man who cooks like a masterchef. He does have one night off, which can be a problem if you don't know in advance, since there are very few local places to eat.
