le prince gourmand
Overview
The bed and breakfast of Christine and Bernard PRINCE is an old wooded farm in the middle of an orchard and extensive grassland, near Boulogne sur Mer, at the heart of the regional natural park of the headlands and opal marshes.
Four charming guest rooms await you. You can stay overnight, for a weekend, or more, while dining on site if desired.
Four large and comfortable guest rooms for 2 to 5 people equipped with beds of great width and Italian showers.
The Prince promises you a cozy comfort, a welcoming table, and passionate cuisine where fish and crustaceans are in the spotlight.
After a career devoted to the art of entertaining, Christine and Bernard have always been passionate about food and wine, and they have chosen to share their little paradise and their passion to their overnight guests.
Dinner and breakfast are served in the dining room. In the summer, you can enjoy the sunny terrace.
Christine and Bernard offer you a gourmet breakfast which can serve as brunch.
On the menu: homemade jams, fresh eggs, country style breads, fruits from the orchard, milk from the farm and homemade yogurt, fresh fruit juices, cheeses, and meats.
Bernard prepares you a cuisine of flavors, sincere and generous. He is uncompromising on the quality of the products used in his cooking.
On the host table menu can be found fish from Boulogne, the first fishing port of France, meat from the country, local cheeses, vegetables from the garden, and breads cooked over a wood fire.
On request, Bernard will choose the best seafood for you or coastal lobster which he chooses for you from his usual fishermen.
Christine handles the desserts. Like Bernard, she cooks according to the seasons and the orchard.
Here, calm and nature reign.
With the proximity to our immense beaches and the wealth of historical sites, you will discover a surprising region.
Your getaway to Pays Boulonnais promises to be a true time of fun and relaxation.

Guest Reviews
5 3Nous avons passé une semaine en compagnie de Christine et Bernard des plus agréables: un accueil adorable avec un désir de nous faire plaisir à chaque fois. La chambre joliment décorée, spacieuse avec un lit très confortable juste à côté du verger nous a enchanté. Il faut souligner le calme de ces chambres d'hôtes....on déconnecte complètement et ça fait beaucoup de bien. Les moutons ont ravi mon fils qui adore les animaux...ainsi que les vaches, un peu plus loin, dans le champ avoisinant. Quant à la table d'hôtes, c'est tout simplement simplement succulent, digne d'un bon restaurant. Bref, une adresse à retenir et qui donne envie d'y revenir.
Christine et Bernard sont chaleureux et accueillants! Nous avons passé un beau moment dans la petite maison au coin du feu. Une belle chambre très confortable et des repas délicieux préparés avec amour et attention - que de produits locaux et de saison. Gourmet de l' apéritif au dessert !Plein de bons conseils pour découvrir la région - en ce qui nous concerne à refaire!!
A consommer sans modération! Une excellente adresse, un accueil chaleureux des chambres décorées avec gout, une très bonne literie, et une table digne d'un grand restaurant, ajoutez à cela le calme de la campagne, vous êtes au paradis.Nous y reviendrons avec le plus grand des plaisirs. Merci à Christine et Bernard pour tout cela, surtout ne changez rien, c'est parfait

SUGGESTIONS FOR REVIEWERS
Describe the key elements of the accommodations : decor, hospitality, value, housekeeping, setting, and/or meals. What were the highlights of your stay? A comfortable bed and elegant decor? The convenient location? The delicious breakfasts and afternoon snacks? The hospitality of the innkeepers? Extra amenities and/or advice for business or vacation travel? If in the area again, would you return? Recommend to friends?
Be both honest and fair : We feature various types of accommodation - some more luxurious than others ... Criteria of charm vary from person to person
We offer a wide selection of quality guesthouses for all tastes and budgets
It is not fair to compare a guesthouse that charges €75 a night with a nearby property that charges double or triple that rate.
Things can go wrong in the best of guesthouses, and the difference between an average place and a great one is how the innkeepers address the problem when something unexpected occurs.
Avoid hyperbole : Reviews that include only effusive praise or complete condemnation are rarely helpful or even credible.
Innkeeper responses : There are at least two sides to every story (often three!). The reviews posted on the Charming Guest Rooms website are taken seriously by innkeepers.
We reserve the right for innkeepers to respond to any review.
