Hotel and restaurant in a vineyard (Bagnols) Like a lord overlooking his domain, the Château de Bagnols sits proudly amongst the Beaujolais vines and lush green hills. Each room, each piece of furniture in this prestigious residence, which is a listed historical monument, takes you back to a bygone era. The stunning architecture, gigantic fireplaces and fairytale rooms lead you somewhere between the Middle Ages and the Renaissance... This imaginary journey back in time is simply impressive. Under the beamed ceiling and the imposing Gothic fireplace in the Salle des Gardes, the restaurant seems to await the return of the Knights of the Round Table to serve up royal, regional cuisine. A toast to happiness!
Restaurant Pierre Orsi
Restaurant of a Grand Chef Relais & Châteaux in town (Lyon) Is it possible to visit Lyon without visiting Geneviève and Pierre Orsi? Year round, this “little house” pays sacred tribute to classic products: duck foie gras ravioli, baby pigeon and calf sweetbreads… the great classics of bourgeois cuisine are created or re-interpreted with a refined twist. For this great chef, each flavour emerges like a flower in season which appeals to all of our senses and stays with us like the radiant memory of a wonderful restaurant, in the heart of the town… (Lys offer valid throughout the year except for weekends (“weekend is defined as the period from Friday evening to Sunday noon included))
Villa Florentine
Restaurant of a Grand Chef Relais & Châteaux and hotel in town (Lyon) You thought you were in Lyon, but here you are in Florence. These ochre walls, this artistic decoration, this whiff of indulgent relaxation around the pool… There is no doubt this is Italy…Why this anachronism? Florence and Lyon have been closely linked since the Renaissance period and the marriage of Henri IV and Maria de Medici. The Villa Florentine is a tribute to this golden era. Nestled on a magic hill, this is the ideal romantic retreat to escape the hustle and bustle of Lyon and enjoy dinner with views of the city lights from the “Terrasses de Lyon”.

La Pyramide
Restaurant of a Grand Chef Relais & Châteaux and hotel in town (Vienne) In a new resolutely contemporary space, the Henriroux family came up with the excellent idea of adopting the number 3: 3 starters, 3 main courses, 3 desserts, 3 white wines, 3 rosé wines, 3 red wines, 3 champagnes and 3 fruit juices. But the idea didn’t stop there. The Espace PH3, as it was christened by its inventor, is arranged around an original kitchen island where the chefs go about their business in front of the guests. The gourmet restaurant “La Pyramide”, renowned throughout the Lyon region, continues to resolutely evolve and surprise by adding this new “playing field” for professional chefs to its already famous fine dining experience.
