“After four visits.”

Reviewed 13 June 2013 NEW

After four visits, our opinion of La Croix Blanche has not changed-it is first class.The welcome from Christophe and Mieke Chabanat and their staff was delightful and rewarding. The themed bedroom was a great surprise and the food and service excellent. Nothing was too much trouble. The hot weather made the poolside a perfect place to spend some time with... More

“The Best Hotel”

Reviewed 26 May 2013

We have been lucky enough to travel from North to South in France for about 30 years, between 2 to 4 times each year, usually having one night’s stop each way, and trying all sorts of hotels. This year, because of an interest in the history, we changed our route slightly and aimed to stay in Fontevraud. Fortunately, we chose... More

“Lovely boutique hotel in beautiful town”

Reviewed 6 May 2013 via mobile

A lovely boutique hotel in a wonderful little town. A great spot for a couple of days stay. 2nd floor rooms were rather compact with nowhere to hang clothes, other than a hook on the wall and a very small bathroom. We were travelling with a group and the couples were placed in the smaller rooms, whereas the single travellers... More

Thank you for your kind review. We are pleased to read that you enjoyed the hotel and the town with renovated square. As you were travelling in a group we didn't know of individual room preferences. Indeed the double rooms on the second floor are smaller due to the slopey roof; however in the same category and price range we... More

“A Highlight of our Trip”

Reviewed 6 May 2013

As we were driving around France I chose this Hotel because it had private parking and had been given good reviews. What a fabulous surprise this little gem is. Firstly we were greeted by Marion, who spoke perfect English and was very professional yet very friendly, she even gave us a bottle of wine at the end of our 4... More

Many Australians, New Zealanders, Canadians and Americans enjoy our Classic rooms with many historic features. We were pleased that we were able to upgrade you to one of these rooms free of charge.

“Happy Memories”

We stayed at this hotel a number of years ago and decided, as we were back in the area and celebrating our Wedding Anniversary, that we would have lunch in the hotel restaurant (Le Plantagenet). The service was first class and the food excellent. The chef's use of herbs was interesting which added very much to the enjoyment of the... More

Easy to find with good private parking. A warm courteous welcome [in english!] - quickly became part of the hotel family, receiving useful information about this historic Abbey 'village' and surroundings.

We are two sisters who have traveled all over France for many years.

We spent one night in this logis during our re-visit to that area of France.

Dear mr and mrs C, Obviously the details you mentioned in your review are unacceptable and these have been discussed with housekeeping staff straightaway - we were horrified when we read your review.

“Good French hotel”

We stayed at this hotel for the night of New Year's Eve 2012. We were there for just one night. Our room was very nice but a bit basic. The decor was a bit dark and the oak beams added to that (but that's just a personal preference of course). The room was very cold but they did provide a... More

Thank you for rating us a 'good French hotel'. One of the advantages of our historic 'independant' hotel: do not hesitate to ask to see rooms with different decors and colourschemes - all our rooms are different. More
