Journey along the legendary Route Nationale 7
11 Nights
A concierge is at your service:
Price of a local call

The RN7 is a legendary road in France and the birthplace of Relais & Châteaux. A favorite of those who follow Michelin maps and others who love roads lined with plane trees, the RN7 always evokes the easygoing ambiance of douce France. Although following it from end to end can be quite an adventure these days, the song of cicadas, fragrance of lavender, and haute cuisine still provide for an amazing journey from Burgundy to the Mediterranean. And, since 1954, it has offered a treasure trove or properties dedicated to refinement and well-being.

Saint James Paris

Paris - France 50 rooms - 7 villas

This property is open.

Hotel and restaurant in town. In the 16th arrondissement of the French capital, Saint James Paris lovingly cultivates a world of unmatched refinement and art de vivre. Close to the Arc de Triomphe and Avenue Foch, this exceptional hotel reveals a discreet character imbued with pastoral charm and an aura unlike any other. Graced with 5,000 square metres of greenery, it holds court amidst marvellous gardens made all the more remarkable by the landscape designer Xavier de Chirac. This former private mansion is now bridging its romantic neoclassical soul with modernity, thanks to the talents of interior designer Laura Gonzalez, who has achieved a perfect symbiosis of plant life and art deco. The decorative contrasts exhibit a rare elegance, as evidenced by the fifty rooms and suites which are at once chic and poetic, grandiose and intimate. At the Bellefeuille gourmet restaurant, Chef Grégory Garimbay pays tribute to French gastronomy and the richness of its terroirs by honouring the raw produce he works with sincerity and passion. A stay at the Saint James Paris is a true parenthesis of well-being, which is confirmed in the Guerlain spa: a world of relaxation, with areas dedicated to treatments, a hammam, a sauna, a Jacuzzi, a fitness room and an indoor pool bathed in natural light. ...

Auberge des Templiers

Boismorand - France 19 rooms

This property is open.

Restaurant and hotel in the country. Back in 1954 the Dépée family turned this former post house into one of the first Relais & Châteaux properties. Charming and tranquil, this top culinary destination is surrounded by Loire châteaux and the vineyards of Sancerre and Pouilly. Experience the rare pleasure of sleeping under a thatched roof, and allow yourself to be seduced by the cuisine of the chef in the restaurant, looking out on century-old oak trees. On the menu is a magical ravioli of wild mushrooms and velouté with a truffle jus, and John Dory in a La Ratte potato crust and sweet red onion sauce. This delicious food is complemented by wine from the highly acclaimed cellar. ... Learn moreless

Restaurant and hotel in the country. Troisgros is located in the heart of the countryside, at the foot of a vineyard. It is made up of a farmhouse where guests are received, a kitchen workshop where products are transformed, a restaurant, Le Bois sans Feuilles, were sharing is experienced, and a large Italian-style house where relaxation may be had. All of these spaces have a modern soul and are surrounded by fields, woods, a lake, garden, and orchard. The taste of César, all guided by the simplicity in cooking, was without a doubt inspired by this new setting. ... Learn moreless

Baumanière Hôtel & Spa

Les Baux-de-Provence - France 53 rooms

This property is open.

Restaurant and hotel in the country. As a result of the merger of La Cabro d’Or and L’Oustau de Baumanière, Baumanière has become the epitome of Mediterranean art of living in a magical place. Appreciated by personalities from the political and the media world, this domain was founded by Raymond Thuillier, the "historical monument" of French gastronomy according to Gault et Millau. In 1969, Jean-André Charial took over from his grandfather as the head Chef, a position he held with maestria until today. This respected Chef is now no longer in the kitchens but managing the domaine. Baumanière remains a unique place, nestled in the Baux-de-Provence rocky outcrops. It encompasses five buildings surrounded by Mediterranean gardens: the L’Oustau, the historical main house, La Maison de Famille, a Provençal farmhouse, the 18th-century manor, and finally Carita and Flora, two country abodes. There are also two gourmet restaurants, the Oustau de Baumanière—an institution where you can appreciate the refined, subtle, and creative cuisine of the chef—and La Cabro d'Or, a Provencal restaurant. The estate also has a spa, three outdoor pools, and a tennis court. ... Learn moreless
