Pieux

This is not a run of the mill hotel, in fact we drove past it twice. No neon signs, informing you it's a hotel. It is an old town building, filled with lovely old items, that blend in so well. Our room "travers un" is so well designed, simple and comfortable, with the bath up on a pedestal, painted in pastels. Curtains... Never seen anything like them, simple! Roller blinds outside to keep the sun out. The bed was super comfortable. Lastly breakfast. Excellent with an attention to detail you don't find every day. Small breakfast room, for 10 people, served by a very efficient lady who knew what she was doing (no trainees here). Check this place out if you can, it is very much a change of pace and scenery. Bravo!

This is not a run of the mill hotel, in fact we drove past it twice, there are no neon hotel signs. It is very much old school. The decor is very nice, stand alone bath coffee machines, water supplies, old painted wood and strange wall colourings. Breakfast was lovely and staff very pleasant and attentive. Check this place out if you can, it's a special place for a change of scenery, literally.

Stayed one night (a public holiday) on our way back to the Tunnel - Montreuil is a favourite town in this region. Pieux is a conciously cool establishment, a stylish conversion of a lovely town house, very closely convenient for the Grand Place, and its extensive free parking, and part of a group of hospitality establishments in the town. Our bedroom was in the roofspace, very comfortable (standalone bath, good sized-shower) and shared the generally dark decorative style of the house. Breakfast was excellent, in a lighter morning room. It's not a permanently manned place, and this led to some confusion about checking in. NB there is also an odd (by modern norms) cash-only policy for payment, which caught us out on departure (considering we'd been told on checking in that we could pay by card). Not an inexpensive room, but you are paying for style - and the location is certainly very advantageous. Dining out was difficult being a public holiday (a couple of notable places refused us as walk-ins) but the Grand Place cafe nearby belongs to the same owner, is purely walk-in, had a good atmosphere and served a good meal.

This is owned by the Chef of La Grenouillère. We spent one night here and one night at La Grenouillère. I enjoyed my stay at PieuX. The rooms are out of the ordinary. The breakfast is delicious. The host is kind.
