We are Christine (1972) and Max (1971) and since October 2024 the proud owners of chambres et table d’h\u00f4tes a l’Epoque. After a working life in the Netherlands, our big dream has become reality: to create a place in France where guests can really relax. <\/p>

For us, a l’Epoque is a place where you are allowed to slow down. We like simplicity with quality: a warm welcome, a quiet room, a good bed and a nice breakfast in the morning. During the day you discover the region at your own pace, and in the evening you can – if you wish – join us for dinner. <\/p>

What we care about:<\/strong><\/p>

  • Tranquility & respect for privacy<\/p><\/li>

  • Clear communication so you feel comfortable right away<\/p><\/li>

  • Little touches that make your stay just that little bit warmer<\/p><\/li>

  • Customized local tips – we love to share our favorite spots<\/p><\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
