Le César Hôtel

A four-star designer hotel on a quiet street opposite the 12th-century church of Sainte-Croix, between the station and the upper town. It was decorated by Laurent Maugoust, with nods to the Middle Ages, fine materials and a living wall at the entrance.

The rooms

Twenty-seven, in four categories (César, Chic, Luxe and Suite), all air-conditioned, non-smoking and with free wifi. From some windows you see the church of Sainte-Croix or the upper town with the Caesar Tower and the collegiate church of Saint-Quiriace. There is a bar, the Buzz Bar, breakfast and a courtyard for fine days; the tourist office also mentions a massage area and a charging point for electric cars.

Getting there

It is best placed if you come by train: the station is about 900 metres away, and around it are restaurants, shops and the market. If you arrive by car, it has private parking with code access. The upper town is a quarter of an hour's walk up.
