In
the middle of the splendid Gorges du Tarn, in between Lozère
and Aveyron, there stands a hotel, not far from the beautiful new bridge of Millau. An outstandind kind of
one – « Le Grand Hotel de la Muse et du Rozier
». However magnificent the countryside may be, the
Grand Hotel matches it. A beautiful design, in and out,
wonderful sight-seeing, perfect services, make it a destination
second to none.
Warm and heartily, a lounge atmosphere
That
is, since Jean-Pierre, from Toulouse, and Sandrine, Montpellier-born,
came back here where they belong, after a 10-years stint
in the West Indies in hotels and restaurants. They seized
the chance to rebuild, and quite recreate this century-old
Grand Hotel, to make it fit to modern customers.
Jean-Paul and Sandrine have actually enjoyed to give their
place a second youth, to make it live up to 21st century’s
high standards. This is where any demanding traveller may
seek peace, comfort, as well as, come what may, fabulous
raids in the wild ! Their partnership with a well known
designer helped Jean-Pierre and Sandrine giving their hotel
that smooth, up-to-date while cozy atmosphere which recalls
of some of the best lounge restaurants in Paris.
This
« Grand Hotel De la Muse et du Rozier » has
to be understood as a warm, heartily resort, where one can
relax and feel at home. But there’s also a lot to do
– for instance, let’s go for a trip in the Gorges
du Tarn, up and down, to the inscrutable green river down
there, or up to the desertic Causses, chasing wild eagles
and other scavengers, by foot, riding mountain-bikes, whatever…
And then, in the evening, hang around the pool, have a dive,
or lazily lay down on one of the beaches alongside the river.
On top of all, rest on the terrace, a cocktail in your hand,
to gaze at the mysteries of the hills around, or just let
your thoughts wander with the whirls of the stream beneath…
A synthesis between deep country and exotic cooking
The
Chef has brought with him a powerful taste for country-flavoured
products. Which go by numbers, from local delicatessen (charcuteries
régionales) to Tarn trouts, and the Chef is firmly
determined to try each and everyone of them, visiting local
producers on a daily basis. But he also whishes to broaden
minds and palates, by giving here and there an exotic touch
to a traditional cooking which may tend to be a little too
… traditional ? Hence, those « Tartares de thon
(tuna tartars) », « Préparations à
base de chutney (chutney-based meals) », and other
« Soles à la coriandre (coriandr soles) »,
which are but a mere start to a brand new world !
