Troigros' La Colline du Colombier

[voyager]

In tribute to Pierre Troigros, I recommend the second generation's country property, 12 miles north of Roanne, La Colline du Colombier,     This complex includes a rather luxe inn plus, what we love, 3 separate uber-modern "quanset hut" apartments/gites, with all amenities.   Located in adjacent fields, each hut looks out on a separate and seemingly isolated vista.    Bedroom enveloped in a rope macrame sphere.  Efficiency kitchenette, fridge daily stocked with farm eggs, milk, butter, confitures, yogurt, cheese, more.  Daily bread and fruit baskets.   We particularly like the one in the garden.   

Delicious dinner in Le Grand Couvert, main building.    Fresh water fish, Troigros takes on local specialties.  

We've stayed here three times.  Easy drive into Roanne for dinner at their Le Central and, just beyond in Ouches, the flagship restaurant.
