Le Pré
Quiet, plant-forward, Scandinavian-influenced contemporary design. Feels more like a chef's home than a traditional hotel. No frills beyond what matters: great beds, great food, good wine.
Book the restaurant and hotel together — availability for both at once is limited given only 5 rooms
Why It Matters
The only two-Michelin-star restaurant in the Puy-de-Dôme department. Member of Relais & Châteaux since 2019 and holds a Clef Verte (Green Key) sustainability certification. Beaudiment's cuisine — built around 200+ foraged plants and herbs paired with local meat and lake fish — is genuinely unlike anywhere else in France.
Le Pré is a tiny 5-room hotel attached to chef Xavier Beaudiment's two-Michelin-star restaurant in Durtol, a quiet commune just west of Clermont-Ferrand at the base of the Auvergne volcanoes. The restaurant is the main event here — Beaudiment forages over 200 wild plants from the surrounding forests and meadows each morning, building seasonal menus around what nature (and local market gardeners) bring that day. The hotel rooms are calm, contemporary, and soundproofed, designed primarily so guests can stay the night rather than drive after a long tasting menu.

On Property
How you'll actually spend your days.
Bookable tours or classes focused on the local Auvergne culture and terroir.
Guests staying overnight can observe — and in some cases join — the morning ritual of selecting fresh herbs from the hotel's herb garden for that day's menu. This is informal rather than a structured tour but is one of the defining experiences of staying here.
The hotel can arrange walking tours in the surrounding area, including at the base of the Auvergne volcanoes. The Parc de Montjuzet is under 2 km away.
