| A fairy-tale, 13th-century chateau
set in classical gardens, surrounded by rolling vineyards in the heart
of Beaujolais. Now part of the
Von Essen group, it is a beautifully restored historic treasure with
a moat and drawbridge and is furnished with spectacular antiques.

FOOD
The Michelin-starred La Salle des Gardes restaurant serves modern French cuisine with meals taken
in the panelled dining room or, weather permitting, under lime
trees in the garden.
