Dating from the 13th Century, the Château de Bagnols is set among vineyards, forests and green hills in the heart of the Beaujolais countryside in south eastern France.

With its towers, moat, honey–coloured stone known as pierre dorée and entrance across a drawbridge, Château de Bagnols is one of France’s major historic monuments. The 21 unique rooms and suites, together with the salons and gardens, have been painstakingly restored, revealing wall paintings created during the Château’s finest period, when nearby Lyon was one of Europe’s great Renaissance cities.

Nothing has been left to chance, nothing is too much trouble – especially in the kitchen. Lyon is world famous for its cuisine and food markets, and the Château’s Chef is justly proud of his seductive candle light dinner menus which are served in front of one of Europe’s largest gothic chimneys.

A roman swimming pool, a magnificent landscaped garden, vineyards, golf courses, wine tasting, horseback riding, biking, hiking and cultural excursions are just some of the possible leisure activities on offer to complement your stay.
