"Welcome to Relais & Châteaux!
For 60 years, Relais & Châteaux has elevated art de vivre to a 10th art!
Our Chefs and Maîtres de Maison are delighted to welcome you to a world shaped by their personalities and passion. We are committed to offering hospitality in unique places. We aim, along with men and women skilled in the subtle art of refined hospitality, to place you, our guests, centre stage.
Our Restaurants lie at the heart of our art of living: our Chefs and their teams, but also local producers, farmers, cheese makers, fishermen, winegrowers and indeed everyone who contributes to making the shared experience of a meal a veritable feast for the senses. Our family is particularly eager to introduce you to whole new worlds by immersing you in regional cultures worldwide."
"Imagine Relais & Châteaux as a very fine French-style library of top-quality books each entitled In Honour of the Joys of Living.”
