Les Prés d’Eugénie – Michel Guérard, Eugénie-les-Bains, France

Tucked within the tranquil village of Eugénie-les-Bains, Les Prés d’Eugénie is a classic French retreat where gastronomy, gardens, and grace come together. 

With 45 rooms and suites, this pastoral estate feels like a private world—birdsong, lavender, and the rhythm of rural France slowed to perfection.

Created by the legendary Michel Guérard, the three-Michelin-starred chef and founder of cuisine minceur, it’s a place where every detail—from a freshly cut rose to a sauce simmering in copper—embodies art, care, and refinement.

What Makes It Special

• Three-Michelin-starred restaurant by Michel Guérard, one of France’s culinary masters.

• Cooking school and farm-to-table philosophy, celebrating seasonal produce.
• Family-run maison blending heritage hospitality with timeless charm.

A Day at Les Prés d’Eugénie

Morning

Wake to the scent of warm bread and roses drifting from the gardens. Breakfast unfolds under chestnut trees—butter, brioche, and homemade jam in the soft countryside air.

Afternoon

Wander through the orchards and herb gardens, or retreat to the thermal spa for a mineral-rich soak. Take a book to the veranda, the hum of cicadas and fountains composing the day’s quiet music.

Evening

Dinner at Michel Guérard’s restaurant is a ceremony—delicate flavors, whisper-light sauces, and candlelight across porcelain and silver. Time seems to pause between each perfect plate.

Night

Return to your room, where the window opens to fields and stars. Beyond, the Landes air is sweet, still, and filled with the scent of jasmine.
