Dating from the 13th century, the Château de Bagnols is set among vineyards, forests and green hills in the heart of the Beaujolais countryside in south-eastern France. Lyon, which is about 12 miles distant, has an international airport; a train from Paris or Geneva takes only two hours and the ski slopes are a 90-minute drive away.

With its towers, moat, honey-coloured stone known as pierres dorées and entrance across a drawbridge, Bagnols is one of France's major historic monuments. The 20 rooms and suites have been painstakingly restored, revealing wall paintings created during the château's finest period when nearby Lyon was one of Europe's great Renaissance cities.

Bagnols offers both the experience of being a cherished guest in historic, luxurious and relaxing surroundings as well as an ideal venue for conferences and product launches of the most select and exclusive nature.

The Château de Bagnols is also a unique venue in which you can celebrate your special occasions, from weddings and anniversaries to birthdays and other exclusive festivities.
