Maison Pic
Three-Michelin-starred hotel with a seasonal pool

About this stay
The kitchen is the reason this hotel stands apart: Anne-Sophie Pic's three-Michelin-starred restaurant sits on site alongside a more casual bistro, giving guests a choice between a full gourmet occasion and a lighter meal without leaving the property. Rooms use wood, leather, metal and glass finishes by designer Bruno Borrione to create matte and transparent effects, each with a desk, wardrobe and flat-screen TV, and the heated outdoor pool, open May to October, adds a genuine reason to linger between meals rather than rushing off to sightsee. Being in central Valence puts the cathedral and old town within an easy walk as well. Guests not dining at the main restaurant can still eat well at the on-site bistro, which runs at a gentler pace and price than the flagship kitchen upstairs.

Our take
Maison Pic is a reason in itself to stop in Valence: chef Anne-Sophie Pic's three-Michelin-starred restaurant, a bistro, rooms designed by Bruno Borrione and a heated outdoor pool from May to October. Its 9.3 rating from 160 reviews matches the reputation. I would book it to plan a trip around dinner; out of pool season, the draw is the table.
- ✓Reserve a table at the restaurant well ahead of arrival, since it books up faster than the rooms
- ✓Visit during the pool's May-to-October season if swimming matters to your stay
- ✓Walk into the old town from here rather than driving, since the centre is within easy reach
Why we love it
- Three-Michelin-starred restaurant on site
- Heated outdoor pool, open May to October
- Rooms designed by Bruno Borrione
- Central Valence location near the old town
Why guests love itMaison Pic is a five-star hotel in central Valence built around its cooking: the gourmet restaurant run by chef Anne-Sophie Pic holds three Michelin stars, and a bistro offers a simpler table. For families, the heated outdoor pool, open from May to October, is the main asset during a summer stay. Rooms designed by Bruno Borrione use wood, leather, metal and glass. I would see it as a treat for food-loving parents rather than a children's hotel.
