Le Jacques 1er - Perpignan

The bed was the most comfortable that we've had on our recent tour of the Pyrenees, but there were a few drawbacks. The kettle leaked everywhere and soaked everything we'd left on the desk. The plug in the back didn't seal, so the bath never filled beyond about 5cm. The tops of the walls in our room looked a little and the extractor in the bathroom was just a hole in the wall with a vent cover that didn't fit loosely placed over it. However, none of this really affected our stay and we slept soundly. If you're expecting luxury, though, you'll be a bit disappointed.

We needed lunch on a Monday in Perpignan, and the best places seemed to be closed, so we headed for a small hotel on the edge of the old town with its own parking. Recommended by Michelin. The place needed a good sweeping of the path from the parking to the resto, which was littered with fallen leaves. We were the only customers, but were made to feel welcome by staff who might have been happy to have no work to do. Good value for lunch.

Very good quality price! a Mediterranean map with tuna, lotte, salads, all articulated around a simple and cheap menu. service by the pool. the wine map could be more elaborate.

I went there several times, and the last time I clarified that I loved their poached foie gras. Although not being on the map the leader is proposed to make me one. which is very rare in our time.

In a peaceful setting, beautiful swimming pool, shaded and quiet terrace, menus at 17 and 23 € are of excellent quality. French cuisine offers a wide choice that will satisfy everyone's tastes. A very good address to the south of the city center of Perpignan, on the way to the Espan.
