Secret Sologne: a gourmet stroll amidst ponds and forgotten flavors


Leave Romorantin, turn left or right, and you are in Sologne—ready to begin your exploration.

You will quickly find yourself immersed in landscapes of heathland, ponds, and forests—places that once inspired countless legends and now serve as an ideal playground for nature lovers and those who appreciate a countryside that has preserved its traditional charm.

Less crowded than the Loire Valley and its famous châteaux, this region holds hidden treasures waiting to be discovered: the Chémery estate, home to red and roe deer; the Selles-sur-Cher market, renowned for its PDO goat cheeses; and the village of Lamotte-Beuvron, birthplace of the Tatin sisters and their celebrated, delicious tart.

Back at the hotel—and to extend your journey of discovery even after you leave the region—the Lion d’Or gourmet shop offers a selection of iconic local products: Sologne honey, duck rillettes, and the famous "grains of paradise"—a rare spice cherished by the chef of our Michelin-starred restaurant.

If a culinary adventure appeals to you, our "Discovery Stay" offers the perfect opportunity to uncover some of Sologne’s secrets, starting with the wines of the Loire Valley.
