Hostellerie Au Rendez-Vous des Amis - Restaurant l'Atelier

“We’ve just spent a very enjoyable night here and had a warm welcome and delicious meal. Steak tartar was very good. Thank you!”

“We did not stay in the hotel but went here for diner . Our charming host, Frédérique, served us an excellent dinner, not too rich, with nice fresh flavours. We also had a glass of outstanding champagne, beautifully chilled in lovely glasses, and a bottle of pinot noir. Frédérique prides himself on tasting every wine he offers and it shows.Dining options in Chaumont itself are somewhat limited it seems ( on our stay, 2 of the better restaurants were closed for a long weekend and the others were full) so I would certainly recommend the 8 minute drive to here, even if not staying at the hotel.”

“Perfect for a stopover en route to chamonix, The girl was so patient with us not speaking much french. Bed was very comfy room was clean , tea facilities in room. Good value for money . Didn’t eat here so can’t comment on the food . Good selection on the bar . Would use again . Thank you”

“We had an overnight stop here both on our way to and from the south of France as, it is not far off the motorway. It is a small, friendly family run hotel with a very good restaurant. It is in a quirky old building with rooms off corridors with different levels. Make sure you put the lights on before going down the corridor! Also do take time to walk round the village. It's charming.”

“My wife and I searched online for somewhere to stay roughly half way between the channel tunnel and our destination in the Vanoise in the French Alps. The Hostellerie Au Rendez-Vous des Amis came up and we booked a night on the way out and another on the way back. The Hostellerie is located in the little village of Chamarandes just outside Chaumont and is roughly 500Kms from Calais. The Hostellerie is situated close to the river Marne and only a short walk from the Champagne-Bourgogne Canal. It has its own small car park but there are further spaces just over the bridge. On arrival the owner, Frederick, made us very welcome and showed us to a very comfortable room. Fortunately we had pre booked dinner because they were fully booked. Dinner, with a choice of 4 things for each of 3 courses was very good, including some excellent salads. Again, the owner was very helpful, speaking very good English when we struggled with our French. We enjoyed a very comfortable night on both occasions. Breakfast, served in the bar area, was typical continental style – fresh croissants and bread, homemade jams, yoghurt etc. The Hostellerie also has a pre bookable sauna which we did not experience. We would certainly recommend the Hostellerie as a stopover, conveniently situated and reasonably priced.”

“Rooms are basic but good value. Location is in beautiful village with lovely river walk a few yards away. When I went (May - low season) they charged only 99 euros for dinner, bed and breakfast. Food was lovely home cooking. Owner speaks good English.”
