SHINE BRIGHT: THE ONE-MICHELIN-STARRED OFFERING

Located in Beaune, Le Jardin des Rempart offers a charming stopover in the heart of Côte d’Or. A true food lover, the Chef Christophe Bocquillon’s sole aim is ‘truth on a plate’ offering authentic, seasonal and locally-sourced cuisine.

Hay-Smoked pigeon is one of the unexpected dishes on offer at Aux Terrasses from Michelin-starred Chef Jean-Michel Carrette. Located in the centre of Tournus, Executive Chef, Jean-Michel took over from his father in the kitchen in 2005 and has developed an instinctive cuisine, using inherited techniques and adding his own flair with award winning levels of creativity and personality.

MAKE A WISH: THE TWO-MICHELIN-STARRED OFFERING

Situated just outside of Auxerre on the River Yonne, Jean- Michel Lorian’s La Côte Saint-Jacques conjures up beautifully colourful dishes which surprise in their exquisite simplicity. Guests can enjoy key dishes including Rosette of Lobster and Fresh Palm Nut Salad or Egg Parfait with White Alba Truffles and Puy Green Lentils.
