Au Feu De Bois

A private family run hotel with reasonable décor and comfort and large car park. Set within walking distance of the town of Amou which is over the river bridge and a short distance away. The room price at 70 Euros per person was the highest we paid this trip. The dinner was the most expensive of our whole trip and I was a little disappointed at the value for money. After dinner we walked in to the town and look around a bull ring, used mainly for concerts nowadays. We were lucky to come across the Chateau De Amou at the time the owner was closing the large original 300 year old wrought iron gates. We had a pleasant chat and he explained he was the direct descendant of the family which had owner the Chateau for over 300 years. He told us he had served in the French Army in Algeria, and presumably incurred damage to his hearing and lost an eye. A charming man which made our visit to Amou very worth while.

We had a very comfortable and enjoyable stay at Au Feu de Bois. Well appointed rooms and Christine went out of her way to make our stay a very pleasant one. Breakfasts were good and we enjoyed a splendid meal with our extended family. Clean, comfortable accommodation, friendly personnel who went out of their way to communicate despite our absence of any skill in French, and tasty, wholesome food, well prepared and nicely presented food, the four days we spent there were memorable and we enjoyed our time.
