Birthday and family meals near Bourges: gather at Le Sollier

We bring the tables together, add a few more places and gather everyone around. At Les Cuisines du Sollier, birthdays, wedding anniversaries, family reunions and long family tables unfold in a historic estate just a few minutes from Bourges.

A family meal that truly feels like a family occasion

No impersonal function room here. A crisp white tablecloth, a few candles, the aroma of a dish arriving, conversations beginning to flow and a table no one is in a hurry to leave. At Le Sollier, time takes on a different rhythm: that of meals you do not want to end.

Long, convivial tables are part of the spirit of Le Sollier

Le Sollier brings back to life a rural, unhurried Berry rooted in its seasons — the Berry that George Sand loved, where friends were welcomed and conversations lingered around the table.

It is in this spirit that Les Cuisines du Sollier welcome families today: to celebrate a birthday, bring several generations together, mark a wedding anniversary or simply find a beautiful reason to gather.

Cooking made here, to be shared

Simple, generous country cooking, prepared with carefully selected produce. Flavours from the Berry, seasonal ingredients and dishes that naturally belong at the centre of a long table.

For your celebration, the team will discuss your plans with you and shape an arrangement suited to the occasion, the number of guests and what you have in mind.
