Having read the reviews we could see this would be a pleasant place to night stop. And the reviews were not wrong! Delightful property and despite being in the main road into town, parking was extremely easy and safe right outside. Being a historic building it is very substantial and once inside there is no noise from the road. Our room was delightful and had direct access to the garden, which contains a large swimming pool (not in use at the time of our visit in May). Large, light and airy and decorated in attractive style. The bed was extremely comfortable. The host was very friendly and welcoming and spoke more English than we do French, so communication was fine! In the morning she prepared a fine breakfast including local jams which was taken in a dining room/library where we enjoying talking with a French couple also passing through. Bar-le-Duc itself is one of those places you wouldn’t necessarily plan to visit in itself, but was en-route for our journey to Italy. And it turned out to be fascinating - a walk up into the high old town (c15th) is well worth it. All in all highly recommended. Thank you for such a pleasant stay.
