Having driven a long distance and staying at the hotel, we had decided to eat in the restaurant. However France was suffering torrential rain and severe flooding, this caused a very disruptive city-wide power cut. Luckily for us the buffet starters table was well stocked and had just been set out, as had the dessert selection. Our meal therefore comprised of a several course salad with assortments of fish, chicken and meats, followed by a huge black forest gateau, which I have never eaten for over 30 years and fully enjoyed the re-experience. The candle-lit meal was average as you would expect in the no electric circumstances, but the company was excellent. The staff coped admirably and were to be commended. Will both stay and eat here again hopefully with electricity.
