In 1960, Mrs and Mr Barel bought the main building where you find now the restaurant and year after year they transformed and enlarged it. In 1970, “ Le Cagnard ” became member of “ Relais & Châteaux ” chain famous for its “ Bien Recevoir ”. The ceiling of the restaurant has been painted in 1986 by the architect and decorator Philippe Roberti. It is composed of 200 hand painted panels which open on the azurean sky.
Across the Centuries “ Le Cagnard ” greated famous people like the musketeer d’Artagnan. In the XVIth century Nicolette and Aucassin felt in love in our dwelling, their love story can be compared at Romeo and Juliette’s one : an impossible love.
The writers Simone de Beauvoir, Antoine de St Exupery, Marcel Pagnol , Foujita and Soutine slept in some of our rooms.
The great restaurant, with a Michelin's star, got his fame thanks to the talent of its chef, Mr Franck MANENQ.
