This ivy-clad 12th-century auberge neighbours the Château de Saché, once home to Balzac. Inside, rustic beams and fireplaces meet refined plating in an atmosphere of timeless charm. Chef Kevin Gardien crafts elevated regional dishes using ingredients sourced from the Loire, including Ingrandes poultry and Cheillé saffron. Each plate blends authenticity and elegance, with sauces and reductions that reveal a deep understanding of traditional technique. A warm, inviting stop for serious food lovers exploring the heart of Touraine.
