$$ Hôtel Diderot**
This handsome 18th-century manor house on the eastern edge
of town is the closest hotel I list to the train station (drivers, look for signs from Place
Jeanne d'Arc). It's a family affair, run by spirited Laurent and his equally spirited sisters,
Françoise and Martine, who will adopt you into their clan if you're not careful. The hotel
surrounds a carefully planted courtyard, and has a small bar with a good selection of area
wines. Rooms in the main building vary in size and decor, but all are well-maintained,
