Located about an hour south of Paris, Le Doyenné is worth a journey for any foodie visiting France. The place is absolutely serene, a paradise where time stands still. Australian chefs James Edward Henry and Shaun Kelly have spent years preparing the land, planting the garden, renovating an old stable into a farmhouse-style dining room, and building beautiful guest rooms for those who wish to stay overnight. (Trust us, you do!) The dining room is sprawling, spacious, with an open floor plan leading from the crackling fire to the kitchen. The hearthy smell of the fireplace permeates the air, and music plays on a record player. The tasting menu is a surprise, based on the fruits and vegetables harvested daily from their farm and kitchen garden, supplemented by local French meat, dairy, and seafood. Le Doyenné has already entered The World’s 50 Best list, and we’re sure there are more accolades to come. Le Doyenné is one to watch!
