A wonderful concept to learn about the history of the village while enjoying a very comfortable room and wonderful cuisine

there was nothing to dislike

great setting and very comfortable

great food

We loved walking around the trails, and visiting the beautiful waterfall! We loved dinner in the Mill restaurant, and the continental breakfast was perfect before cycling out.

It was a very uphill, tough ride from the Veloroute des Bleuets to get to the property. We had to walk our bikes uphill due to the steepness of the incline. Bike racks outside the “houses” where we stayed would have been nice.

Aside from the erratic weather and some very reasonable restrictions due to covid, our stay at Val-Jalbert was perfect. The site is an authentic mill town that failed during the depression, was a ghost village for decades, and was slowly, but lovingly restored to become an historic village with animators, accommodation and a marvellous restaurant. The display boards are all bilingual and are very informative - clearly the project was seriously researched and historic accuracy was respected. There is a lot of attention given to the faces and names of the people who lived there during the early 1900's. While some of the old company houses are untouched, several have been redone into very comfortable and spacious accommodation. We enjoyed the large whirlpool bath and modern-walk in shower, and all the extra such as coffee-maker, fridge, iron and ironing board, safe, etc. - even two umbrellas and a flashlight. The Wifi signal was sporadic in our room, but was more reliable in the welcoming centre and restaurant. The highlight of our visit had to be dinner (which was included) at the Restaurant du Moulin. Saying it was delicious is an understatement - every bite was scrumptious, the food was beautifully presented, the service was perfectly paced. Our waitress, Natasha, was a marvel as she was alone - handling the verification of vaccinations as well as the reception of diners and payments afterwards. In spite of all this, our courses arrived at our table in a timely manner - just when we were starting to anticipate our next plate. EXCEPTIONAL!

Really nothing. Although the information boards are all bilingual, the animation is in French. This was not a problem for us; however, in our opinon anyone would be able to follow the story just through the visual content - for example, the presentation at the Old Mill.

everything

It's a pittoresque location with very friendly and helpful staff!!! The restaurant is also a must for dinner and breakfast! The food was delicious and our waiter was on top of his game!

Nothing

The whole experience exceeded My expectations.

I would have preferred a bit more variety in the meals that were included.
