The inn A la Bonne Idée, located in the small medieval village of Saint-Jean-aux-Bois, offers a serene and stimulating atmosphere, ideal for stays focused on work and reflection.

The inn is also a Michelin-starred gourmet restaurant run by the internationally recognised chef-owner Sébastien TANTOT.

After 14 years in a 3-star Michelin restaurant, the chef, a native of the region, offers a unique and poetic cuisine based on marine and river products, punctuated by touches from his own gardens that border the inn.

In 2022, he created "La Table de César" for a more family-friendly, indulgent, and joyous offering, inspired by his young son César.

It is worth noting that it was in this inn that the song "Mon amant de Saint Jean" was composed in 1937 by the composer Emile Carrara.

Inside, a refined atmosphere welcomes guests in bright and functional spaces. The large windows provide a view of a magnificent garden, adding a touch of tranquility to every moment of the day.

With its perfect blend of modern comfort and preserved nature, this place offers an ideal setting for unforgettable professional stays, where excellence goes hand in hand with well-being.
