La Côte Saint Jacques & Spa
Restaurant of a Grand Chef Relais & Châteaux and hotel on a river (Joigny) Pleasant rooms with large terraces and a gourmet restaurant right on the banks of the River Yonne, an array of available activities, a charming and innovative spa, an indoor swimming pool, a special programme for children… The Côte Saint-Jacques is a generous and captivating destination, just like its owner, Jean-Michel Lorain, the enthusiastic and exuberant chef who will welcome you like a friend and will perhaps let slip, while chatting to you, the secrets of his recipes. His genesis of a dish is in itself worth the trip… (Lys offer valid throughout the year except for weekends (“weekend is defined as the period from Friday evening to Sunday noon included))
L’Espérance
Restaurant of a Grand Chef Relais & Châteaux and hotel in the country (Saint-Père-sous-Vézelay) Throughout history Vézelay has charmed artists, poets and kings. It was from this medieval castle, now part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site, that the knights embarked on the second and third crusades... At L’Espérance, a former café and grocery store in the middle of the vineyards, Marc Meneau is leading another crusade: a taste mission. This self-taught chef discovered the art of cooking in books and then went on to develop his own sense of inventiveness. His oysters in a salty aspic, his shellfish and caviar tureen and his “Marie-Antoinette-Sofia Coppola” strawberry dessert all testify to this. The Chef’s other battle is to defend traditional winemaking techniques and to protect the local vines from the phylloxera pest that ravaged them in the past. (Lys offer valid throughout the year except for weekends (“weekend is defined as the period from Friday evening to Sunday noon included))
Château de Germigney
Restaurant of a Grand Chef Relais & Châteaux in a village (Port-Lesney) Cedar wood parquet floors, period furniture, silky wall hangings… renowned interior designers Roland and Véréna Schön have turned this home of a Marquis lost amongst wild lakes into a delicate and astonishing hotel. Here, each room is like an art gallery. The armchairs invite you to sink into them to read a book or sample the best wines of the Jura before sitting down to savour generous, subtle cuisine. The hallmark dishes: Bresse chicken from the Roussel Voisard farm in a sealed terrine (advance reservation), suprêmes on a gratin of pommes boulangère with Vin Jaune, drumsticks in salad “like a day-after pot-au-feu”... worthy of feasts in bygone days.
Le Relais Bernard Loiseau
Restaurant of a Grand Chef Relais & Châteaux and hotel in a village (Saulieu) The name Bernard Loiseau inevitably stirs up a rare sensorial journey and an authentic culinary experience. Chef Patrick Bertron has added his talent to the legacy left by his master based on simplicity, powerful tastes and new flavours… But the food isn’t the only attraction at this stunning Burgundy location: Dominique Loiseau has made it an exceptional hotel from every point of view. As well as its elegantly-decorated rooms and beautiful lounges, gardens and spa, the welcome is warm and attentive. This is a magical and timeless place where the idea of well-being takes on its full meaning. (Lys offer valid in low season from 1 November to 31 March – except for mountain properties: from 1 May to 30 November)
Hostellerie de Levernois
Hotel and restaurant in a vineyard (Levernois/Beaune) On the banks of the river Bouzaize sits a large white house. The majestic nature of its park with centuryold trees and the elegance of its French-style garden are the perfect backdrop for the inviting simplicity of its “Bistrot du Bord de l’Eau”. Susanne and Jean-Louis Bottigliero, the owners, have turned this property into a truly charming haven that skilfully blends tradition and modernity, peace and tranquillity. The gourmet restaurant is a fitting reflection of this unique setting: a subtle blend of yesteryear and today. (Lys offer valid throughout the year except for weekends (“weekend is defined as the period from Friday evening to Sunday noon included))
