We chose to stop here when driving from Cherbourg to southern Spain, plumping for Pons simply because it was en route. The tiny village turns out to be awash with ancient buildings, including the pilgrims’ hospital, a UNESCO World Heritage Site! Everything is within easy walking distance. It’s worth paying the few euros entrance fee to climb up the donjon tower - all that’s left of the once-massive ancient castle - for great views over the countryside. You can use the 17th century grand staircase to get down to the river where there are picnic tables and shady walks along the banks.
The best restaurant in town, according to our hosts, is the one in the Hotel de Bordeaux, which sadly wasn’t open the night we wanted. However, we can recommend L’Arriere Cour - generous portions of good food at reasonable prices. There is a charming vine-shaded courtyard at the back. The lady host was amusing and keen to practise her English!

Pons is a nice small provincial town with a industrial past a lot of historical buildings. It's close to the A10, so ideal to stay when you have to travel further. It's in the Cognac region, so you can visit the vineyards or just drink the cognac.

Pons is a unspoiled Medieval town with great walks and views. The Donjon (fortified tower) wasn't open as we did visit in February and it only opens (I think) from April - October. There is a lot to visit in the area but we did not have time for that.

A very pretty historic town.
A very pretty historic town. We were there when there was a 'marche nocturne' one Friday night. Lots of food, drink and craft stalls, trestle tables and chairs set out next to the castle and town hall. Ended up sitting eating and drinking with some locals and enjoyed conversing with them. Would definitely recommend coinciding a visit to Pons with one of these evenings. Also visited the Chateau des Enigmes which was a fun half day's entertainment and then the outdoor town pool to cool off afterwards.
For an overnight stop passing through France, this was ideal. Not too far from the motorway and in a lovely square in Pons. We had a spaceous room with a good sized bathroom and large shower...and loved the decor. Previous reviews have mentioned people eating outside the bedroom window, but this was not an issue for us as it had been closed off by the owners (we like to think because the room was occupied) so privacy was not an issue.
Breakfast fantastic lovely home made jams and yoghurts. Good selection of food , good quality and quantity . Hosts fantastic , so welcoming, nothing too much trouble . Room clean and comfortable , lovely view , gardens and walking distance to perfect little town , Pons . 35 mins to the coast . Good location . Highly recommended .
Our favorite stay during our trip. The owners were simply wonderful, the rooms cute and the location conveniently close to Pons. The house is pretty and the grounds are nice as well, but the most amazing thing were all the animals. They make this a very special place.
Lovely and comfy room ,plenty of choice for breakfast .Exceptional in obtaining help in getting our PCR test en-route back to the UK.We definitely could't have done this without the help of the owners of the hotel Pascal and his wife Patricia .
The hosts Pascal and Patricia were extremely kind and welcoming! The room was extremely clean and furnished with a great eye for detail. A perfect location to visit the beautiful city of Pons.
Location was perfect for visiting the town of Pons, and for a stopover on the way back from Spain to the UK. Accommodation and breakfast was great, no problem parking just accross the road.
The hotel is beautiful, location is perfect, room is spacious and very clean. Wonderful breakfast with 2 charming dogs is included) Highly recommended!
