D'une Île

A wooded hillside property in the Perche, run as a country retreat by the team behind Paris's Septime. Fruit trees, beehives, and a sauna looking out over the landscape give it the feel of somewhere genuinely off the clock. The cooking pulls from nearby Norman and Sarthe markets and whatever the kitchen garden is offering, so the menu moves with the season rather than against it. A handful of guest rooms mean you can stay long enough to actually decompress.
