The dining room |

The dining roomAs well as its beamed ceiling, stone walls and tiled floor, the dining room still has its original limestone fireplace showing traces of its use as a cooking range. The tapestry hung oak window and French windows open onto the terrace. In the opposite wall is a small, 16th century aperture rediscovered during restoration, now containing a stained glass window depicting St. Eloi, the patron saint of les forgerons (the smiths). The long oak dining table and chairs, upholstered in tapestry to complement the window hangings, can seat up to twelve people. A door in the corner of the dining room opens onto a stone staircase descending to the wine cellars. |
