We have known and stayed at Le Puits Dore many times in the past six years. I find it hard to recognise it from the comments made by your British correspondents. It is clear many do not understand what to expect from a classic French Hotel. Reading most of the French comments it is clear they do. Olivier Blanc and... More

3 of us went for a quickish lunch...we got what we went for...the grilled goats cheese was good...the braised pigs cheek as part of my 13 Euro set menu was also in fact very good...the veal was a little tough (23 euro menu)...the mange tout were boiled to death...

This hotel is a very old building that has been kept in good condition but the design leads to compromises when it is used as a hotel. The staircase is exceptionally narrow. The room we had overlooked the square and was comfortable but the bathroom (really a corner of the original room) was badly designed. The toilet was directly behind... More
