Along with my two colleagues, we spent here 5 days at the end of May 2013 during our field trip (collecting samples for geophysical research). Our stay was very enjoyable. Excellent location, outside the village of Les Estables, in old stony house with rooms providing all the necessary comfort, made with grate sense for the character of the house and place. The location offers amazing views of Massive Central, with the highest peak of Mt. Mezenc right behind the ground. And all the meadows around were just in full blossoming period. The house owner offers also dinner. I red the other critical reviews here. One has to realize that the house owner is not a professional cook from a Michelin-star restaurant. Instead, she was serving local, home-made food. During the five evenings, we got delicious roast-beef, as well as rather stiff chicken. The only thing I would recommend is to make breakfasts more variable. Always the same marmalade, mostly commercial, is not the best for such a place. Anyway, I would like to coma back again.

Excellent location and character

We approached from Mount Mezenc which meant we missed the entrance but coming back out of the village of Les Estables it was easy to find.  up the drive and into the hotel.  A converted Gites and well maintained.  There is a large dining/lounging area and the family bedroom seemed to have been recently furnished.  the hostess was Marie and she was very welcoming.  There is plenty of room in the grounds to sit and relax and it is about a 15 minute downhill walk into town.  The highlight for me was mealtimes.  There was no choice just an all inclusive fixed price. "Do you want a meal?"  "Yes".  We turned up at the allotted time and were taken outside for aperitifs, then inside for a 4 course dinner.  At no time were we rushed and portions were sizeable.  As all guests sat together we had the opportunity to share thoughts and deeds with fellow travellers making for the most pleasant of experiences.

Peace in the mountains

The location and the beautiful restoration of the house sells this unique Chambre D'Hote. Marie is a very kind host and we found Le Francillon to be a real gem. Some people have commented on the noise and lack of sound insulation. It is true that the lovely wooden floors have the effect of conducting sound from the neighbouring rooms, but this is, in my opinion, a minor point that should not detract from the overall ambience and beauty of the place. One point to bear in mind - we visited in September and there were no restaurants open in the vicinity as it was clearly between the summer and winter seasons. This meant the limited option of dinner a Table D'Hote. However, it was delightful, starting with drinks with fellow guests and Marie by the huge fire place and moving onto a simple but great supper of home made delights - three courses, amazing cheese, coffee etc. Marie went out of her way to accomodate, providing a last minute alternative for me as a non-meat eater. The dinner for two came to E 50. The only minor points for us were that the breakfast was good, but a bit thin on choice, being bread and jams/honeys and either coffee or tea. Equally there weren't enough towels and they too were a bit thin and meagre, but Marie kindly supplied more towels when asked. However, we were very happy with our stay, and these points do not detract from the stunning beauty of the place.
