Le Puits Saint Jacques

Once a coaching stop on the Camino de Santiago, this characterful Gers house is the site of a handsome dining room that blends historic (beams, bricks and tiles) with modern (light fittings, furnishings, tableware) details. Chef William Candelon’s culinary score is a delicious patchwork of hearty country fare and contemporary sobriety, in a bid to showcase first-class ingredients: lamb sweetbread, morel mushrooms, truffles, guinea fowl, Challans duck.
