Hôtel Sophie,
Briouze
Half-board offers the best
value at this small hotel-
bar-restaurant opposite a
popular cattle market
(Monday is market day).
The food is the main
draw here - good
regional fare prepared by
the charming, voluble
chef, and attentively
served - but there are
also seven bedrooms.
Downstairs, the modern
French decoration
includes the obligatory
television; this is very
much a place for locals.
