WHEN TRAVELLING EN CAMPAGNE…

Rural France follows its own set of rules. Don’t try to do any shopping between 12pm and 2pm, because nothing will be open, and on Sundays, most shops are shut all day. Restaurants, of course, open their doors for lunch, but you’ll need to make alternative arrangements for dining before 12pm and between 3pm and 6pm. Les Riceys > Montigny-la-Resle

Tonight you’ll be staying in a castle. Le Château de la Resle is a boutique luxury hotel brimming with the proprietors’ private collection of contemporary art and designer furniture. No detail has been overlooked in its restoration and „t-out — from the architectural ourishes in the poolside changing rooms to the glass domes covering your morning croissants. Have dinner on the terrace as the sun goes down and later take a moonlit dip in the pool.
