In the heart of the medieval town of Montluçon, the turrets of Château Saint-Jean dominate a park of century-old trees where swans and ducks come to meet you. Bought in 2016 by the Delions, a couple who also owns two legendary establishments on the French Riviera, this historic estate has undergone a complete renovation over the last two years. With its spa, bistro area and gourmet restaurant headed by the Michelin-starred chef Olivier Vallade, this hotel of nineteen rooms and suites is now a charming setting that promises your stay will be as enchanting as it is relaxing. Managed by a team from the region, this château, firmly rooted in the region, is also the ideal gateway to discover Auvergne.
