After 19 years spent at La Marelle, near Bourg-en-Bresse, Sandra and Didier Goiffon moved to this 1950s inn on the outskirts of Mâcon. It has been beautifully restored and retains its historical character; be sure to admire the hunting frescoes from the old Alsace Zuber manufactory. Here, the chef serves cuisine in his own image: fun and spontaneous, it is based on choice ingredients (market gardeners from the Saône valley, for example), with just the right amount of creativity. In other words, an enjoyable interlude, which you can even extend by reserving one of the comfortable guestrooms.
