France Saint-Sauvant Design Hotel des Francs Garcons The Best Hotel Deals

Don’t miss an opportunity to stay at 3 star Design Hotel des Francs Garcons when you travel the west coast of France. Ten architects collaborated on the stunning interior of this unique Charente-Maritime hotel in the medieval village of Saint-Sauvant. Design Hotel des Francs Garcons is a well-preserved historic building on the outside, but on the inside you’ll find sophisticated public spaces organized by levels, stairs, and dramatic lighting effects. A few highlights include the reception room with a chair-mail chandelier and a black fireplace; a bar made of azul valverde; and a dining room furnished with Arper chairs from Italy. Guests can work out in the hotel gym, relax in the sauna, or take a dip in the outdoor pool on a terrace overlooking a 12th century Romanesque church. The hotel is located on the corner of the rue des Francs Garcons, which was a favourite residential area for local bachelors in the Middle Ages. It’s within walking distance of the village’s medieval tower, the market street, and restored houses from the 14th and 15th centuries; in the old parish cemetery, sarcophagi have been found from the Carolingian period. Saint-Sauvant is located between the cities of Saintes and Cognac on National Route 141 (N141). Just 2 km/1.2 miles north of Design Hotel des Francs Garcons is Paleosite de Saint-Cesaire, an interpretive park containing an archaeological site and pre-historic recreations.
