Christophe Favre and his wife Gaëlle, who have both worked in a series of highly renowned establishments, opened their property in 1999 with the aim of cultivating the warm and authentic feel of these traditional buildings, where guests feel immediately at home.
Hospitality is inherent in the very essence of L’Auberge de Buellas and is reflected in its name, ‘auberge’, a place of welcome, akin to the English word ‘harbour’. This auberge provides a real haven in which to peacefully while away the hours. The establishment of Gaëlle and Christophe Favre is a break from it all, shaped by the natural beauty of the Bresse region, the poetry of the surrounding countryside and the couple's intuitive approach. The services, the décor and furnishings all combine to enhance their quest to create a place where guests can switch off and soak up all that is good in life.
Reconnecting with sincere hospitality and the simple pleasure of feeling good, at the right time and in the right place, embracing the authenticity of a place steeped in the art of entertaining, indulging one's taste buds with a gastronomy that, on the one hand, surprises and confounds and, on the other, reassures and comforts. The vision of L'Auberge de Buellas lies herein, as does the power of the Bresse region.
