Manoir François 1er

This is a charming house/hotel a short, pleasant walk from a spacious square with cafes and the cathedral. We were three adults and two kids on the top floor room ‘Camomile’ and slept v comfortably in a wonderfully quirky set-up blending a four poster bed, a double and a single. We enjoyed the generous breakfast with fresh squeezed orange juice, pastries, baguettes, yoghurts, teas/coffees and fruit. It set us up wonderfully to continue our journey south. It’s true that there isn’t a restaurant but we ate well at lunch and topped up with drinks and dessert in one of the cafes.

This was the second time we stayed here. Both times, the rooms were exceptionally clean and comfortable. Breakfast is included, so that's great. We were arrriving late, so I contacted the host and he gave us the code to the front gate and left the key to our room in the door. We ended last year's hike here so it was good to have a known starting point for this year's hike. Highly recommeded.

Lovely old French grand maison, with plenty of original features and a view over the gardens and pool. Lots of interesting art. The grand breakfast room was provided with a buffet of fresh baguettes, croissants, jams, coffee, and more, plus oranges to put through the fresh orange juice machine. Welcoming owner and free parking right outside. Vitry le Francois is a very pleasant place to walk around, too with lots of trees, some lovely old buildings and nice restaurants on the main square.

The breakfast was very good and plentiful, the freshly squeezed orange juice was lovely. The swimming pool was great after a hot days journey. The rooms are comfortable and good shower facilities.

Beautiful older home converted to a wonderfully welcoming & relaxing family establishment. Christophe was exceptionally friendly. I highly recommend the breakfast as it was healthy, diverse in choice and abundant. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay. They have an outdoor swimming pool & sauna.
