Auberge du Lac
Whether a small intimate occasion or perhaps exclusive use of the restaurant, we will blend the day to your exact requirements, enabling you to relax and give exclusive attention to your special guests.

Auberge du Lac is the ideal venue for up to 60 guests, with the option to utilise our intimate private rooms for a romantic smaller occasion. Whichever option you choose, your time at Auberge du Lac will be special.
