| Sleep in a French Church |
|
No one is suggesting you need to convert to enjoy these properties. France has many places that were once churches, which have now been converted to places where you can stay the night. ~~ Sozo Hotel, Nantes
(Photo: Sozo Hotel/Facebook) This boutique hotel in a former 19th-century chapel, has 22 room, six of them on the top floor like the one above. ~~ Le Couvent des Minimes, Mane
(Photo: Le Couvent des Minimes Hôtel & SPA L’Occitane/Facebook) This former convent, founded in 1613, reopened as a hotel and spa in 2008., keeping the original architecture and facade, as well as the terraced botanical gardens. ~~
Fontevraud L’Hôtel, Fontevraud-l’Abbaye
 (Photo: Fontevraud TV/Vimeo) Once the home of 3,000 nuns and monks, this abbey founded in 1101, centuries later, became a Napoleonic prison. Now, the hotel’s restaurant has one Michelin star. ~~ Fourvière Hôtel, Lyon
(Photo: Fourvière Hôtel) Built more recently, in 1854, this former convent of Visitation, a monastery, was renovated and transformed in 2015. ~~ Hôtel Mercure Poitiers Centre, Poitiers
(Photo: AccorHotels) Now a four-star hotel on the site of a former 1854 Jesuit chapel, not all the rooms feature the 19th-century chapel’s architecture, but it's worth checking if there is one available. More details from Matador Network.... |
