Hostellerie Saint-Martin

A countryside inn near a small Normandy village occupies a converted church building with intact stone walls and stained-glass windows preserved in corners. Fifty to one hundred fifty guests gather in the nave where original ribbed ceiling and floor-to-ceiling height create architectural drama. The vicarage attached to the main building contains the kitchen and service areas, and guest rooms occupy a sympathetic modern addition nearby. The grounds include a small graveyard used historically, adding a layer of historical narrative.
