Let’s set off to rediscover one of France’s most beautiful regions: Burgundy. Renowned for its wines and dotted with majestic châteaux, the region boasts a host of upmarket hotels with unrivalled charm.
La Côte Saint Jacques
Renowned as one of the best hotels in Burgundy, this Relais & Château in Joigny has 22 rooms and suites, all of which are inspired by the natural beauty of this beautiful region. Colours live in perfect harmony, precious fabrics add relief to the rooms and the balconies and terraces, which sometimes include a private Jacuzzi, invite you to read a book facing the peaceful panorama. To make your stay even more relaxing, this boutique hotel boasts a spa with a magnificent swimming pool nestling under arches covered in green mosaic, a tropical lounge, a hammam with a starry sky and a whirlpool bath overlooking the Yonne. A veritable wellness journey in Burgundy. But the five-star hotel is best known for something quite different: its gastronomic experience. The two-star restaurant run by chef Jean-Michel Lorain and his nephew Alexandre Bondoux is an institution. While its décor has recently been redesigned, the table highlights the classics that have made this family-run establishment a temple to epicureanism. Enjoy a lobster blanquette, poularde de Bresse steamed in Champagne (no less) or a mille feuilles with three light creams. Local produce and regressive flavours guaranteed, not to mention the sublime wine list. We also recommend the well-being lunch, for a meal that’s light on the stomach but ultra gourmet on the palate.
