Grand Hôtel de l'Espérance

Location & Accessibility: The hotel is conveniently located in the center of Lisieux, ideal for short stays and exploring nearby attractions. It offers easy access to local sights and is well-suited for travelers needing a central base.

I went as part of a solos tour group tour. As a vegan I had researched this area of France as much as I was able to prior to arriving. I knew it would be extremely difficult so I emailed this hotel in advance to offer a couple of suggestions regarding breakfast. I hoped the hotel would at least make an effort. However, they only provided me with plant based milk and margarine. Despite me paying the same as everyone else on the tour, they had a great deal of choice for breakfast, but I only had tea, bread and jam and some poorly prepared fruit salad from a bowl. No protein provided, even though tofu, which I had suggested, was readily available from the local Bio supermarket and was very reasonable for them to provide. They basically did not care, even when the tour guide intervened, all I got was an avocado on the remaining few mornings. Vegans should not be discriminated against. The hotel was a conveyor belt of tour groups, highly regimented and impersonal. They only had a domestic two slice toaster for their guests....which was on it's last legs. How inappropriate! Avoid, avoid, avoid especially if you are vegan.
