Chateau de Bagnols - Beaujolais

Dating from the 13th Century, the Château de Bagnols is one of France's historic monuments. It is set among vineyards, forests and green hills in the heart of the Beaujolais countryside in south eastern France. Staying in one of the twelve rooms or eight apartments offers the experience of being a cherished guest in historic, luxurious and relaxing surroundings. The chateau is a place of most select and exclusive nature. The ambiance is calm and welcoming ~ like that of a superbly run private house ~ allowing you to relax and enjoy the beautiful surroundings. The history of the Chateau speaks through its architecture; the moat, the medieval towers with their fortifications, betray its thirteenth century origins; the harmony of the golden-stoned courtyard, the classical proportions and the extraordinary wall paintings tell of its Renaissance heritage, while many of the enchanting decorative details are witness to eighteenth century renovations. Little wonder the Chateau is a Grade One Listed Building. Four years have been spent lovingly and meticulously restoring this historic building to its former resplendent glory.
