La Vieille Auberge

This pretty village with a medieval church and 18C obelisk was founded in the 13C by the Counts of Champagne; in the 19C it was restored by architect Viollet-le-Duc. It is the ideal place for experienced and talented chef Nicolas Tissier (who has previously worked with Jean-François Piège and Christian Le Squer) to take over the family business. He gives free rein to his inspiration with surprise set menus packed with premium ingredients: pigeon, lobster, field tomatoes, which he makes the most of in his balanced and harmonious dishes. The cheese platter, with its 50 or so types, deserves a special mention.

• One MICHELIN Star in a small medieval village: a modern French menu built around surprise formats.
• Nicolas Tissier at the helm: trained in high-end Paris kitchens, now running the family house.
• Cheese focus: a large cheese trolley is a centrepiece of the meal.
