Relais de l'Abbaye

Le Relais de l'Abbaye is a charming three-star hotel and gourmet restaurant on the banks of a river at the gateway to the medieval village of Charlieu, on the route of Saint-Jacques de Compostelle. It offers 30 spacious rooms, seminar facilities and welcomes holidays, stopovers, seminars, receptions and group events. The restaurant Le VertPré is led by a long-standing team under chef Patrick, whose savoir-faire and requirement form the table's signature for many years, and the establishment holds the professional distinction "Master Restaurateur". Menu pricing ranges from modest midday formulas to higher gourmet menus, enabling lunch, romantic dinners, family celebrations and business meals, and the house positions itself as a regional gastronomic address with a warm, considerate welcome. Refined, contemporary decor sets the tone; the hotel sits in a peaceful countryside setting with a garden that includes a playground, a bar and private parking. Cuisine is modern, creative and gastronomic, designed to promote the Loire terroir; dishes are neat, generous and homemade from fresh market produce, served in a bright, elegant dining room or on the terrace overlooking nature.
