If the fine art of living "à la française" were to be portrayed in the cinema, the Domaine Les Crayères could well play the leading role. In this century-old residence playing host to a 5-star hotel, a 2-star restaurant, and a truly exquisite "brasserie", everything exemplifies the unique "French touch". To be convinced, one simply has to set eyes on its enchanting setting.

The château with its architecture in pure, classic style and the natural beauty of its park are just the visible wrapping, the decor. Inside, its stylish decoration is signed by a master of good taste, Pierre-Yves Rochon. And it is here that this "little French bonus" really comes alive in the interconnecting rooms and salons. No bling-bling, despite the gildings. Just delicacy and elegance, from flooring to wood paneling. The interior architect has subtly introduced the "haute couture" of French expertise. Goldsmiths, cabinetmakers, master stonemasons… the finest craftsmen have plied their art here. And it can be seen, admired, a dream come true.

Beneath sparkling chandeliers, Aubusson tapestries also recall national history. In fact, French culture permeates everything, from the terrace to the rooms and suites, even the park. Not forgetting topnotch gastronomy, within the splendor of the Domain. A way of life so envied around the world.

In the dishes of the gastronomic 2-star restaurant Le Parc, it means cuisine rooted in the local terroir, vines, the earth, and traditions, which is triumphant, but also deliciously free and full of creativity. After lunch or dinner at Le Parc or Le Jardin, you will understand why "the gastronomic food of the French" has been ranked by UNESCO since 2010 as an "intangible cultural heritage of Humanity".

Finally, what would this French virtue be without wine and, more particularly, champagne? At Le Domaine, they comprise the main thread running through the scenario. Admirably paired with dishes, they, in fact, inspired the tale. They are even the very roots of the establishment founded by Jeanne Alexandrine Pommery.

To end the film, add a pinch of impeccable service and a team of irreproachable attentiveness. Both chic and natural. The Domaine Les Crayères has everything it takes to be a star.
