Our opinion
The Hotel la Tour du Roy is a welcoming traditional hotel where you will be delighted with Annie’s cuisine.
Hotel description
The Hotel la Tour du Roy is a welcoming and friendly three-star hotel, restored and maintained with love and care over the years by the Desvignes family. Enjoying a prominent and historic position in the small Picardy market-town of Vervins, it is actually built into the mediaeval walls of the town. It is well worth venturing slightly ‘off the beaten track’ to experience the cuisine of Annie Desvignes at the Hotel la Tour Du Roy. There is a range of menus which vary in price and in ingredients, according to the season. There are just 18 bedrooms all of which are traditional in style and character, some being hung with luxurious original tapestries. They vary in size but all have private bath or shower and wc, telephone and most have mini-bar. The Hotel la Tour Du Roy is ideal for a short ‘gastronomic’ break or for an overnight stop.
