Large, discreet residence off the main street, offering a choice of rooms, a table d'hôtes and a garden with a glass roof full of flowers
This large, unobtrusive residence on Vatan's main street offers the pleasant surprise of having been lovingly decorated and refurbished by owner Zélie Venague, who took up residence in spring 2021. The garden of this former 18th-century coaching inn is a little paradise, with a glass roof full of flowers, roses and a vegetable garden. It's possible to request a table d'hôte or enjoy the benefits of a one-hour massage in your rooms or in the garden, booking 48 hours in advance. Zélie also offers a gîte with sauna and fitness area.

Owner's Message
I'm Zélie, and I welcome you all year round to my home.
Le Relais des Roses is a former 18th-century coaching inn, the stables still in the outbuildings used to house horses on their journeys across France (Vatan is on the road from Paris to Toulouse). The house then had several vocations before becoming a guest house, as it also housed a notary's office.
Today, I'm delighted to welcome you to the house myself, to help you discover its history and our beautiful Berry region ☀️.
Le Relais des Roses has 4 rooms and suites and a gîte. You'll have access to the large shady garden, and to the terrace surrounded by roses in fine weather. At the end of the day, you'll be able to enjoy a moment's peace and quiet on our chill-out loungers, hammocks or tree-hung chairs.
Catering is available on reservation:
- A traditional Frenchbreakfast is served every morning between 8 and 10 am.
It includes croissants, bread, homemade jams and honey, butter, orange juice, hot drinks (tea, coffee, milk, chocolate), fresh fruit, dried fruit, cereals, cookies, etc
It is offered free of charge for stays in rooms and suites, and is available as an extra for stays in the gîte at €7.00/person.
- Table d'hôtes, available every day except Tuesdays and Wednesdays, is served at 7:30pm.
We serve traditional cuisine, sometimes with a twist. I adapt to your allergies or food intolerances when preparing the menu.
Single menu: starter / main course / dessert €20.00 per person.
Children's menu up to 12 years on request.
We offer additional services:
- electric vehicle charging station: 0.40€/kwh - reservation recommended
- Massages at €80.00/1 hour (performed by a massage therapist who comes to the Relais: Massage by Aurore - please book directly with her on 06 61 77 39 40 or [email protected] ).
- Shared space with kitchen available free of charge
Last but not least, we're right in the center of Vatan, so the guest house is close to all the amenities in the village (brasserie, pizzeria, bar-tabac, press, bakery, tourist office, grocery store...).
During your stay, I can recommend places to visit, producers...
