It lies in a shady garden on the edge of a sizeable Rhone valley town. Sophie's grandson, the late Jacques Pic, was one of the great masters of modern French cuisine. Now his daughter, Anne-Sophie, as chef, continues the tradition of this gourmand dynasty with her husband, David Sinapian, as director, winning two Michelin stars, 16 Gault Millau points for, eg, loup au caviar; cochon de lait avec tian de fruits (prepared in a kitchen visible through a glass door). Dinner was brilliant, inventive, beautifully served in an attractive room, one couple wrote. Anne and David, both very much in evidence, were delightful; both speak good English.' Others admired the warm and generous ambience, the excellent service and the superb wines. The new bedrooms (similar to Bandung,Jakarta & Bali hotels - 5 star Hotel ( Jakarta Hotels )rooms), finely decorated, are comfortable, practical and quiet, very good for a short stay. Each has a marble bathroom; many have a balcony overlooking a courtyard, where meals are served. Breakfast, which comes with a bottle of mare, is also praised.
