Les Trois Fontaines

Friendly inn with good food near market town

Experience a touch of genuine France at this traditional 2-star inn in the village of Marconne, close to Hesdin, where the locals congregate in the bar, and delicious, well-crafted classic dishes are enjoyed in the pretty restaurant. The 3-course menu offers a good choice, and you dine from the superior 4-course menu on your second night. The bedrooms, in a single-storey building adjacent to the restaurant, all open onto the pleasant, quiet garden.
Authentic places like this are something of a dying breed these days. Thankfully, the friendly owner, Arnaud Descamps, is determined to maintain the inn's special atmosphere.
