Dining at Les Foudres, a Michelin-starred restaurant in the grand “Cathédrale” Chai, orchestrated by Chef Mathis Debize, celebrates Charente's gastronomic treasures with exquisite dishes crafted from local ingredients. La Distillerie brasserie offers contemporary French fare in a vibrant setting, while the jazz bar and rooftop lounge craft artisanal cocktails, perfect for savouring under starlit skies. A daily breakfast, with buffet, à la carte, or continental options, delights with fresh, regional flavours.
