The table d'hôtes

The table d'hôtes is one of the highlights of your stay at Artichaud. It gives you the opportunity to talk to and other people and discover different traditions, which is far more difficult during a stay in an hotel. And – believe it or not – weak knowledge of other languages proves never to be a barrier to good contacts.

You will also rediscover the savours of products like they used to be: here in the Tarn, one can still find great poultry, traditional vegetables and fine herbs, traditional cheeses, and a superb wine. And Liliane is a great cook: she prepares delightful dinners, based upon regional recipes, adapting it to our modern way of life, with a mediterranean touch (olive oil instead of ducks grease...)

Every day Liliane proposes a changing menu, depending on the saison, the markets and her mood. Most of the fresh products Liliane uses are bought locally, with our neighbours, at the market or harvested in our own garden. Our table d'hôtes is always a four course dinner, including a starter, a main dish, cheeses and a dessert.

Included in the price are a local apéritif, Gaillac wine, water and coffee. No worry, you don't have to drive after dinner... You will have the opportunity to discover our appealing Gaillac wine (red, white, rosé...) made from traditional types of grapes (len de l'oeuil, mauzac, duras...). And we love to propose you every day a choice of cheeses from the south west, not only from the Tarn, but also from the Aveyron, the Cantal, the Basque Country, the Pyrénées.
