Restaurant Domaine du Châtelard

Surrounded by a beautiful lake, you’ll find 4-star hotel and gourmet restaurant Domaine du Châtelard. Whilst the city of Angoulême is just a 10-minute drive away, this fine-dining location in the countryside of France offers you all the peace and tranquillity you need. Nestled between 80 hectares of green pastures and woodlands, the building itself dates back from the 18th-century and used to be a manor house. The kitchen is run by chef Ivan Gotfredsen. Here, he prepares contemporary, cosmopolitan dishes with an Italian flair. If the weather allows it, you can enjoy your lunch or dinner on the terrace, which offers a stunning lake view.
