HOTEL OF THE WEEK
MONTLIVAULT
LOIRE VALLEY Maison d'à Côté is a little inn on the church square of a rather ordinary village close to Chambord. Ludovic Laurenty is the chef/patron; cuisine of this two Michelin-star quality normally comes at a high price and with a good deal of pomp and faffing about.
