Chambre d'Hôtes Quietude en Vallée de Chevreuse

This luxurious establishment in the Airelles hotel is steeped in history and inextricably linked to the Palace of Versailles. It combines theatrical staging – with diners being greeted by a valet, and staff in period costume – and cuisine tailored to the occasion. Devised by Alain Ducasse, the menu comprises dishes made with premium produce that reflect the great man's commitment to naturalité. Entrusted to chef Stéphane Duchiron, the food is a masterclass in technical skill, with everything expertly cooked and seasoned, and high-quality sauces and jus bringing out the forthright, distinctive

Awarded a MICHELIN star in 2016, chef Jean-Baptiste Lavergne-Morazzani continues to delight diners in his modern and refined restaurant, nestled in the Cour des Senteurs, a stone's throw from the Palace of Versailles. The set menu, which is regularly updated, whisks you away on a meticulously devised and indulgent culinary journey – dishes include marinated langoustine on a bed of warm rice with a hint of vinegar and agastache leaves, accompanied by a delicious langoustine emulsion. At its core is seasonality and top-notch produce, which is generally organic, sourced from sustainable fishing a

There's no doubt about it: chef Laurent Gasnier, whose CV speaks volumes (stints at Le Bristol, George V and Troisgros), cannot be faulted when it comes to cherry-picking first-rate, perfectly ripe ingredients, whether veg or fish. He transforms these delicacies into indulgent, impeccably cooked and seasoned dishes, e.g. olive shortbread, cream cheese, prawns and carpaccio of courgette; roast iberico pork, chorizo churros and balsamic gravy. In summer, you'll want to sit on the pretty flower-decked patio in the quiet courtyard. The restaurant stands in the delightful village of Chevreuse – all

Beneath a thatched roof and smothered in Virginia creeper, this spruce, hundred-year-old inn has been welcoming travellers since 1926. Three generations have preserved its authentic character, whilst breathing a new lease of life thanks to a tasteful restoration. The same spirit prevails on the menu, with traditional fare and market-fresh dishes made with premium produce. The house signature is lobster stew in season. Terrace in the shade of old plane trees. The epitome of a French country inn!

Ore means "mouth" in Latin. A disarmingly simple name for this place that is quite simply exceptional – a 17C pavilion within the Palace of Versailles. Alain Ducasse is the Sun King of the premises, enforcing the culinary law for which he is known. That of naturality and a constantly renewed homage to fine ingredients.

Two private mansions with contrasting façades have been united to create this luxury hotel and its fine dining restaurant. Chic and intimate, the restaurant has plush carpet, mouldings and tables set with porcelain. The chef cooks up generous cuisine, including some dishes designed for sharing. Plants enjoy the limelight, with quality seasonal ingredients going into dishes such as an onion, Comté cheese and vin jaune tart. Vegetarians will be pleased: the meat and fish (loin of pork, pollack, duck) play only a supporting role, and are optional.
