hotel brasserie au violon

Monsieur Philippe Maire and his team are delighted to welcome you to the petite, historic and elegant hotel brasserie au violon.

The former prison in the Lohnhof has been transformed with a sense of harmony into a charming hotel and a lively French brasserie.
Situated in the centre of the old town, the au violon offers unique accommodation and an exceptional gastronomic experience.
