You’ll love:

Perched on a hillside high above the river Canche, wrapped in enchanting old town walls, and as arresting as any village de Provence, in Montreuil sur Mer it can be hard to believe you’re so close to home. And it’s not just the setting and history you’ll find off-the-scale alluring: Montreuil sur Mer also has an unusually high density of incredible restaurants per capita. Anecdote, Froggy's Tavern, Pot du Clape, Le Cocquempot and Le Clos des Capucins are all addresses in foodie paradise, plus there’s also a dizzying number of places to make great purchases – from cheesemongers, wine merchants and patisseries to of course… the fabulous market.
One of the very best things about Hôtel Loysel Le Gaucher is that it’s right at the heart of town so you can nip in and out to explore the wonders of town as many times as you wish. Bursting with character, the Monument Historique listed building dates back to 1777 and boasts all the trappings of a chateau from its bright-white stone and cobbled courtyard to the jaw-dropping interior – all original art, ornate detail, and grand proportions. If you love your carefully restored period features and elegant standout pieces - sweeping staircase, shining marble, and graceful fireplaces to name but a few - here’s your slice of interiors heaven.
The hotel’s aim is to strike the perfect balance between high-end guest house and boutique hotel, something you’ll find yourself appreciating at every moment, be that on the terrace (where better to clink glasses of your complimentary champagne?), over the wonderful French breakfast in the cosy salon, or in the chic bedrooms, each with an elegantly pared-back palette and a carefully curated sense of contemporary comfort. By the way, if there’s one bedroom in particular you like the look of, don’t hesitate to ask on booking as hotel staff will certainly see what they can do – just one of many services available, including booking assistance for restaurants, spa treatments, and wine tastings.
And what’s on the doorstep will make your romantic weekend break all the more memorable: beautiful trails for walking or cycling (2km, 20km, or anything in between!), all the charms of town, plus enchanting places to visit all around from the village of Madeleine-sous-Montreuil with its Michelin-starred restaurant, Chartreuse de Neuville monastery, and of course… the Opal Coast’s magnificent beaches. How long did you say you can stay?
