Le Chevalier Noir

love staying at Le Chevalier Noir. Paul is an excellent host (I’m sure Daniel is too but we haven’t met him yet). The rooms are great, the beds are incredibly comfortable and if you’re lucky enough to get one of the rooms that look over the valley you’ll probably just sit and look at the view all day. Paul’s breakfasts are also fabulous. He makes an early trip to the local Boulangerie which makes delicious croissants, pain au chocolat and bread including a loaf of the best GF bread I’ve ever tasted. There are also fresh local eggs laid and made to order 😊 and fresh coffee, hot chocolate and tea. The village, of course, is also well worth a lengthy stroll after breakfast to work it off. Paul also has great local restaurant recommendations and has made all of our reservations for us and also has plenty of knowledge on the local villages you have to visit. I believe he also organises bike tours of the area. Can’t recommend Le Chevalier Noir enough.

Stunning house in a fabulous location in the beautiful village of Cordes-sur-Ciel. Paul was an excellent and attentive host, knowledgeable about the area and cooked us a fabulous dinner and provided a lovely breakfast when requested. The house and accommodation have bags of character and the views are wonderful. Easy access (if you can manage a short but steep walk) to the top of the village of Cordes-sur-Ciel which is a stunning hilltop village and the surrounding area is lovely too with a short drive to historic Albi nearby. Can't recommend it enough.

We spent 4 very relaxing days at the Chevalier where we were thoroughly looked after by the host Paul, who is a mine of local information and goes out of his way to make recommendations and bookings. Cordes is a beautiful village with lots to offer and the property is well situated with incredible panoramic views of the countryside. The house is full of character and our rooms were spacious, clean and comfortable. The breakfasts were a particular highlight with fresh fruit, bread and pastries every morning. We enjoyed exploring the area- it is quite stunning and perfect for visiting the pretty villages by car, bike or on foot. A wonderful stay, really recommend. Will be going back.
