        <content>Am contemplating a Sunday lunch here, and wonder if the food is as interesting as I've heard. (Would also consider staying overnight, but the hotel's rooms -- see URL below -- are kind of scary-looking. Or is that carpet orange only in my browser?)

      <content>The food is well-prepared, but pretty traditional.  It was great to just amble up the stairs after dinner.  
 
I had one of the newly redecorated rooms (shown below) which had an enormous, by French standards, bathroom with a giant tub.  It was about 85 euros.  I would have preferred to pay a little less for a smaller room (some are 50 euros), but at least this was on the first floor and I only had to climb one flight of stairs.  The new carpet is rust with red cross-hatching which makes it look orange.
