Le Grand Monarque

This nineteenth-century hotel faces a main square in a historic town, with classical stone pediments above each first-floor window. Eighty to one hundred eighty guests gather within a grand ballroom with a musicians' gallery and chandeliers hung from ornate plasterwork. The restaurant serves full tasting menus, and sommeliers select wines from a cellar dating to the property's opening. Several connecting salons allow ceremonies and receptions to unfold in separate spaces, with staff managing transitions through screened corridors.
