La Musardière

La Musardière is a 19th-century boutique hotel and restaurant in the village of Giverny, a few steps from Claude Monet’s house and gardens. Owners Franck Auvray and Sylvain Deprez run a three-star hotel that pairs comfortable, intimate lodging with two dining experiences: the bistronomic restaurant Révélations (evening gastronomy) and the Néobistrot Le M (generous, terroir-driven lunches). Under Chef Benjamin Revel, trained with disciples of Escoffier and influenced by travels to Australia, Peru and Portugal, the kitchen emphasizes seasonal produce, circuits courts and respectful sourcing from local producers and artisans; the house highlights an eco-responsible approach and offers a private parking area and on-site accommodation. An intimate, warm and elegant atmosphere fills dining rooms and a terrace where evening light gently envelopes the restaurant, and the house evokes an impressionist, convivial and charming style. The hotel is presented as a cosy, restored maison de caractère with a cared-for, welcoming reception. Cuisine is contemporary French bistronomy rooted in Norman terroir, with menus that evolve with the seasons and the chef’s inspirations, prioritizing respect for the product, local sourcing and simple, sincere gestures to create emotive, well-balanced dishes. Benjamin Revel is the chef. Specialties include a brownie with chocolate, caramel and peanuts, Tarte Tatin, a seasonal summer menu (Carte menu été) and an Easter menu (Menu Pâques).
