handsome, well-appointed rooms (the suites are luxurious), several good family rooms,
and elaborate public spaces. The serious owner runs a tight ship (standard Db-€90-125,

$ Hôtel Rousseau is a good-value, no-frills, frumpy manor house that turns its back
on Beaune's sophistication. Cheerful, quirky, and elusive owner Madame Rousseau, her
