Host(s) Denise and Jean-Luc Marchand. "When my children play the piano, guests love it," says Jean-Luc.

Decor The timbered house, built in 1609, still has a hook for tying up a horse in front. You'll feel like you're in a period movie walking up the lopsided oak staircase.

Room(s) Three. Each has a private bathroom and vintage prints on the walls. One room, the Enclos des Templiers, overlooks a tiny courtyard.

Plus At breakfast, Jean-Luc serves homemade honey with croissants from the local boulangerie.
