Concierge
"The glitterati and sophisticated couples keep this 20-room property booked solid, so reserve two to three months in advance for high-season accommodation."

Fodor's
"Distributed among a trio of three-story buildings, Madame Le Floch's rooms have a distinct grandmotherly vibe with flowery wallpaper and lace bedspreads." Full review
