Situation in Burgundy

The Château de Besseuil is located in Clessé, in Southern Burgundy, near Mâcon. Our hotel-restaurant and our wine estate are located in the heart of the Mâconais vineyards, not far from the abbey of Tournus, Cluny and the Roche de Solutré.

82 km from Lyon, the village of Clessé benefits from the proximity of the motorways and the TGV station of Mâcon-Loché (21 km away): the Château de Besseuil is thus only 1 hour 30 minutes from Paris and Geneva and 30 minutes from the international airport of Lyon Saint-Exupéry.

This privileged situation allows all your desires of stay in Burgundy. Romantic getaway in a château hotel, wine-tourism weekend in the Mâconnais, family holiday in the countryside, business trip near Mâcon… The Château de Besseuil is the ideal address for a peaceful getaway.
