The rooms are basic and the food was nothing special but we went for the nice environment: beautiful walks in the Chartreuse. At St.Pierre de Chartreuse (some 5 km from the Auberge) there was a Jacques Brel festival, which we didn't visit but what looked quite nice and friendly. There is also a picturesque, small village with an interesting church in St Hugues de Chartreuse. We would recommend that village, although i don't know if you can stay there.

I was taken with the writing of Roy Andries de Groot, and quickly looked on the Internet to see if I might write to him. Of course, sadly, I learned that he had committed suicide many years ago. How I would love to visit the area. I am sure you know there is now a web site for the Auberge? Kind Regards, Doris I came upon the book, The Auberge of the Flowering Hearth, quite by accident.

I am a cookbookwriter myself, but am not able to write so beautifully about food, I write cookbooks for children. So mainly recipes and stories about their backgrounds, etc. But I am wondering if you found the Auberge and if so, did you like it. We are planning to go there for a few days with our kids, to walk in the surroundings and it would be nice to stay in an auberge with such an interesting past. But you didn't write about it, so i was wondering...
