Les Pres d’Eugenie

Renowned and exquisitely appointed hotel and spa created by legendary chef Michel Guérard, two hours south of Bordeaux. The sizeable complex comprises the main hotel, three other self-contained smaller “hotels,” a three-star restaurant, a rustic bistro and a comprehensive spa complex. Request accommodations in “Le Logis des Grives,” where rooms typically feature terra-cotta floors, Oriental carpets, high ceilings, painted wardrobes, luxurious marble baths and beds with colorful chintz baldaquins. Alternatively, opt for “Le Couvent des Herbes,” occupying a former convent set amid tranquil gardens. Diversions include a health spa, leisure spa, two swimming pools, horseback riding and tennis.
