The Stay

The Attic Apartment.

A private entrance, two characterful bedrooms, and the hush of old rooftops. The attic apartment occupies the second bay of the 1754 outbuilding, amid beams, stone and a view of the château.

An entrance all your own

The apartment has its own private entrance. You climb the period staircase — listed as a historic monument — with its painted wooden banister and time-worn steps, lined with antique tapestries. The landing, with its terracotta tiles, grand mosaic and limewashed walls, opens onto the attic: an intimate space out of time.

The Blue Room

A room in soothing tones, between a pebble-stone wall and ancient beams. Family furniture, vintage lamps and soft bedding; it has its own bathroom with a bathtub, for slow-paced evenings.

The Living Space

Beneath the beams and the skylight, the large table set facing the oculus window opens onto the countryside. Pebble-and-brick walls, low morning light, a sitting corner for reading: this is the heart of the attic apartment, where meals — and time — are taken.

The lounge

Beneath the great beams

The lounge nestles under the original roof frame, its massive beams and old tools set along the cornice. A family walnut wardrobe, floral bench seat, deep-blue rug and comfortable armchairs: perfect for reading, listening to music, or simply letting the afternoon pass, with the pebble-and-brick wall as backdrop.

French acoustics

Bang & Olufsen & Elipson

In the lounge, a Bang & Olufsen hi-fi system stands alongside 1970s Elipson speakers — those cult spheres designed for the ORTF studios. A precise, warm and timeless sound to accompany evenings of reading or afternoons of daydreaming.

View over the Beaujolais hills at sunset from the lounge's arched window
The view

A different Beaujolais every hour

From the lounge's great arched bay window, the eye travels over the lime trees to the hills of the Beaujolais. The light changes hour by hour: bluish morning mists, deep afternoon greens, golden sunset skies. This window never tires — it's never quite the same twice.
