Just five minutes from the medieval city of Montluçon is Château Saint-Jean, located on the site of a former outpost of Templar knights. From the turrets of this fairy-tale hotel, guests overlook a mature park of century-old trees and a pond filled with swans and ducks – always ready to greet passers-by. Cozy guest rooms and suites combine modernity with touches of Renaissance style, each with breathtaking views of Saint-Jean Park. Rooted in Bourbon heritage, the soul of Auvergne is revealed in this haven of peace run by the Delion family. Treat yourself to a moment of relaxation at the spa, with its view of the adjacent racecourse, or spend some time in the bar, near the warmth of the stone fireplace, enjoying a signature creation from the head bartender. At the gourmet restaurant, housed in the chateau’s 12th-century chapel, discover the creative cuisine of chef Olivier Valade. His carefully conceived dishes wow visually and highlight the authenticity of the region’s products.

Numerous emblematic structures punctuate your walk, such as the various locks and lock-keeper houses, the Chantemerle canal bridge in Vaux, and the Davoué drawbridge.
