Le Chateau de Faverges-de-la-Tour is a small hotel in a quiet valley in the vicinity of Lyon, located in an ancient castle. In the hotel table of ranks he was assigned the status of "four stars". But based on such important factors as the clear fresh air washing the tidy vineyards, the rough but touching atmosphere of the innocent knighthood of the old mansion, the hospitality of the residents of the surrounding villages can rightfully be attributed to luxury hotels In the design of all rooms observed "palace intrigue". The most prestigious of them are in the dungeon - the central tower of the castle. A dark blue carpet with embroidered golden lilies, silk wallpaper with a bucolic pattern, a double bed with a canopy, an antique writing desk - all this resembles the chambers of a French aristocrat. The interior uses both Dutch, English and Oriental themes. A discreet "Dutch" room with a white low ceiling intertwined with dark oak beams contrasts with the English bedrooms. Sustained in bright colors of British political affiliation, they are scarlet and white. One of the most original rooms of Faverges is the "student" room, as if transferred from the scenery to the "Bogeme": a pretentious modernist sofa against the background of a "torn" brick bathroom wall. The “student” interior theme is continued by a cafe, and the palace itself is a restaurant. Here, on an equal footing, masterpieces of gourmet cooking and ordinary chops with potatoes are served.
