Spectacular and Luxurious Bed & Breakfast in Chantenay Saint Imbert, Burgundy - Le Relais de Chasse

Annelot and Diana welcome you to their rooms & breakfast in Chantenay Saint Imbert. You will find us on the border of Burgundy and Auvergne, not far from the N7.

Here we offer you the opportunity to enjoy peace, space, overwhelming nature, historic sites, beautiful gardens and peaceful golf courses. And all at just 750 km from Utrecht.

The property was built in the 16th century as a hunting lodge commissioned by the Princess of Cleves, expanded in the 18th century and since 2006 used as a bed and breakfast (A short summary of more than 400 years of history) History that is still visible and tangible on the original spiral staircase, in the rooms with ancient beams and when you set foot in the gate. The building, the garden, the village and the surroundings give a good impression of life in the Bourbonnais. Everything breathes tranquility, history and a preference for the good, Burgundian life.
