Fodor's Expert Review Domaine de Barive
Domaine de Barive, Laon, Hauts-de-France, 02350, France
A 30-minute drive east of Laon brings you to this upcycled 18th-century hunting lodge, now a boutique hotel that fuses contemporary elegance with period architecture and quirky artwork. Foodies will enjoy the creative dishes served in the Les Epicuriens restaurant (closed Monday and Tuesday), which has lovely views of the gardens. The hotel facilities include a lounge bar, indoor pool, sauna, gym, tennis courts, and bicycles (a supplement is charged for the use of electric bikes).
PROS
- nice spa and pool
- great restaurant
- peaceful rural setting
CONS
- far from urban amenities
- a car is essential
- main restaurant closed Monday and Tuesday, though guests can order food from a scaled-down version of the menu
