Relais & Châteaux palace in the Landes: 3-star Michel Guérard, 1-star L’Orangerie, Sisley La Ferme Thermale and eight hectares of poetic gardens.
The Concierge
In a Landes valley between Gers and Béarn, Les Prés d’Eugénie unfold eight hectares of poetic gardens around a colonial Grande Maison. Forty-five rooms and suites, five historic buildings and two starred tables make up this Guérard family palace.
The concierge orchestrates without intruding: three-star table, grillades at L’Orangerie, a cure at La Ferme Thermale. That is the essence of a thermal-gastronomic stay: Chalosse within walking distance, the Basque Coast an hour away, and Grande Cuisine Minceur® invented here in 1975.
Location — Eugénie-les-Bains & Landes
The estate stands at 334 Rue René Vielle in Eugénie-les-Bains, nestled in a Gascogne valley between Gers, Landes and Béarn. Eight hectares of poetic gardens — rose beds, kitchen plots, water garden — form a Landes setting.
Pau-Pyrénées is 45 km away, Biarritz 100 km, Bordeaux 140 km. Dax TGV, twenty minutes away, links Paris and Bordeaux. The concierge coordinates chauffeurs, taxis and routes toward the ocean, Landes forest or Basque villages.

The hotel at a glance
History & Maison Guérard (1968)
Les Prés d’Eugénie were born in 1968 when Michel and Christine Guérard turned a Landes inn into a gastronomy temple. The chef invented naturalist cuisine and, in 1977, earned a third MICHELIN Star — held for over forty years.
Grande Cuisine Minceur®, created in the 1970s, revolutionised the dietary approach without sacrificing pleasure. L’Orangerie became its temple; the three-star restaurant also carries emblematic plates.
Relais & Châteaux from the outset, Palace de France since 2017, the house remains family-run: Michel Guérard and his daughter Émilie Guérard lead an estate where thermal-gastronomic excellence is handed down.

Guest reviews
5,0Eric T« Everything about our experience at "Les Prés d'Eugénie" was incredible and exceeded our expectations. The suite was magnificent, the staff ever so nice and helpful, the food was delicious, and the premises, parc and overall atmosphere gave us the feeling we had traveled to one of the most beautiful palace of the nineteenth century. We will definitely go back and highly recommend this pinnacle of French excellence. »
5,0Bruce Godwin« A few slow service items. At pool took a long time to order a bottle of champagne, then waiter only brought 1 glass!? Otherwise very good overall. »
5,0Trey Fellers« Not sure it’s more possible to feel like you’re in a movie than being here. The weather was perfect during our stay, which certainly made the grounds ideal for strolling and sitting outside for dinner and drinks. But I think that even if we had to stay in for rain … the accommodations and service would have made it just as enjoyable. I couldn’t recommend a stay here any higher!!!! »
