About us
Les Magnolias is a recently renovated 700 year old building, once the family home of the famous French poet Paul Valerie. It is owned by a German entrepreneur, Dietmar Ley, who in 2000 purchased the 700 year old building from the renowned restaurateur family Roussel and then invested substantially into expanding and renovating it into the current 22 room offering. The hotel operation is run by his wife Claudia Ley who also manages Cycling Magnolias, a cycling operation based at the Les Magnolias, established in 2011 to encourage cyclists from all over the world to experience Plaisance's idyllic cycling environment. The restaurant staff are dedicated to serving a variety of delightful and delicious dishes to its regional and international visitors, applying their varied experience to the rich selection of local Aveyron and Tarn produce. The hotel is open from mid April to mid October each year.
Our staff is international (French, English, German and Portuguese are spoken) and extremely friendly. Just 40 kms away from the World Heritage Site of Albi and also close to the Roquefort cheese caves and Millau’s tallest bridge in the world, Plaisance is quickly becoming an ideal holiday destination for a variety of clients from all over the world.
