The Hôtel des Francs Garçons in Saint-Sauvant (17) opens its doors to all travelers passionate about authenticity.
Created in 2005 from five medieval houses, the Hôtel des Francs Garçons is located in the village of Saint-Sauvant, in Charente-Maritime. A play of levels, staircases and cascades of light make this establishment an original, atypical and resolutely design place.
A tailor-made offer
At the Hotel des Francs Garçons, the choice of 10 standard, superior and suite rooms allows you to come with family, friends, as a couple or even as a professional for an overnight stay.
Within the establishment, we take our time to ensure that every moment is a beautiful experience.
The library area, the bar, the rooftop terrace, and even Florence's restaurant all contribute to a very relaxed atmosphere. The unique character is also evident at breakfast time, with fresh, gourmet, and locally sourced products.
Staying at a hotel for just one night risks falling under the spell of the old stones and never wanting to leave…
A refined and creative cuisine
Whether in its exposed stone dining room or on its teak terrace, the Francs Garçons restaurant offers to delight the palates of its guests with refined and creative cuisine. Every day, the produce is purchased from local producers at the market in Saintes.
The restaurant is open every evening, by reservation only.

About the Hôtel des Francs Garçons
In 1976, three of the medieval houses that make it up were in a dangerous state of ruin without roofs or floors, condemned to be demolished.
The young architect, Hervé Audinet, and his wife Florence, settled in 1964 in the family home on rue du marché; they do not wish to see these venerable medieval houses disappear at the foot of the Romanesque church of Saint-Sauvant.
He subsequently acquired the property and renovated it in 2005 in a very contemporary and stylish manner. The space features oak floors, natural stone paving and walls, and a decor composed of unusual objects brought back from his travels. The successful gamble of the Design Hotel des Francs Garçons lies in having respected the ancient structure of the 12th-century building, located in a medieval village, while incorporating a timeless interior design by renowned designers.
At the time of its creation, ten architects lived or worked in Saint-Sauvant. Each room was therefore named after them, and each of them participated in the decoration of their room through choices of colors, original drawings, or objects of their own creation.
In twenty years, more than sixty thousand travelers from all walks of life have stayed at the hotel.
