A charming hotel near Aurillac

Daily pleasures that add up to a home from home

Mid-way between Conques and Aurillac, with the drama of the Auvergne volcanoes on one side and soft beauty of the Lot valley on the other, the Auberge de la Tour is an invitation to travel through history, culture and gourmet dining. At the heart of the medieval centre of Marcolès, with its "Petite Cité de Caractère" historic classification, young proprietor Renaud Darmanin have added a hint of contemporary colour and character to this beautiful and superbly restored 17th Century residence. 

Garden Auberge de la Tour Marcoles Cnatal

The charm of a hotel in Cantal...

An inn in a beautiful 17th Century residence

This large, granite-built building, with the traditional Cantal "lauze" stone-tiled roof, has always been a hotel-restaurant. Formerly known as the Hôtel Alidière, it was bought by the Marcolès municipality, which carried out the major works of renovation. In 2010, Renaud Darmanin took over the business and opened the Auberge de la Tour.

The chef’s garden and vegetable patch

A little slice of paradise!

Our park invites you to slow down and enjoy nature to the full. It takes just a few steps to discover this lush green oasis, where you can enjoy a stroll, relax or simply take your time.
At the heart of the park lies the Chef’s vegetable garden, a true extension of our kitchen. Seasonal vegetables, herbs, edible flowers, fruit and berries are grown there throughout the seasons.
The Chef draws inspiration from it and, depending on the harvest, selects the produce that will naturally find its way into his creations.
From garden to plate: vibrant cuisine, inspired by the seasons and deeply connected to its surroundings.
