140 years of history

W

When you walk through the doors of Ricordeau Hotel, you catch a glimpse of Sarthe’s history. A historic building dating back to the end of the 19th century, this house was a former coaching inn and has been the silent witness to over 140 years of history. Within its walls it has hosted Steve McQueen, Gérard Depardieu and Jean Gabin as well as heads of state like Georges Pompidou and Charles de Gaulle. Over lunch, for an evening meal or over several days, they all succumbed to the uniquely charming atmosphere of Maison Ricordeau.

The hotel’s excellent reputation is down to chef Emile Ricordeau, the third generation to run the kitchens after his father Charles and grandfather François. For over 30 years, Chef Emile proudly earned 2 Michelin stars for his restaurant. His constant quest for quality and perfection and tireless energy in perfecting his culinary expertise made Ricordeau Hotel the unmissable culinary destination in Sarthe.

Today, Head Chef Didier Chapeau works to the same high standards and with the same philosophy, offering his guests wonderful moments of delicious food and .
The Ricordeau team puts every ounce of passion and expertise to work, to retain the restaurant’s reputation and perpetuate the work of the Ricordeau generations.
