chateau-saint-jean-montlucon-15A mythical site in Montluçon, the current castle stamped recently Relais & Châteaux, has had several lives before exposing us today, its charm and its immeasurable serenity.
Foundations and a medieval look, a chapel that retains the history of annex buildings dedicated to delicacy and relaxation.
All this in front of the park that the Montluçonnais appropriate every moment.
A park of 3 ha, including 2000 m2 of lawn, a pond lined with 400 trees jump over a stream, which meanders under wide alleys shaded by large oaks, lime trees and a gigantic sequoia.
From the chateau’s rooms one has a view of the park and can see black swans and ducks on the pond; at night and in the early morning one can hear the birds calling to each other because they know that since 1998 the park has been a bird sanctuary.

chateau-saint-jean-montlucon-05Imagined by an architect from Lyon, the 19 rooms and suites are located on the three floors of the contemporary or ancient parts of the castle.
In the contemporary part, you will find the suites, 6 in number including 4 junior suites, as well as the classic and superior rooms.
As for the two luxury suites, they are located in the renaissance part of the Castle.
All of them have a chic contemporary decoration, thick carpet, paintings of old flowers, sculpture bust of horse on bookcases, (a nod to the racetrack located next to the castle).
On the second floor, balconies run along the rooms and on the third floor, the attic rooms give pride of place to the desired design.
All of them have a direct view of the sublime park and the bathrooms are equipped with products by Fragonard. Every nook and cranny and every detail is the guarantee of a perfect, elegant and refined service.
The gastronomic restaurant, with just 22 seats, has been delicately placed in the former desecrated 12th-century Templar chapel.
Without touching the centuries-old walls, but instead, just sandblasting them to bring out the stonework, Patrick Jouin and Sanjit Manku played with the lights, the atmosphere, the feel of the walls and the monastic serenity of the place.
The stoup at the entrance and the gigantic height of the ceiling, sign a Romanesque architecture filled with charm. A barrel vault, round and light arches are present for better acoustics.
Read the river, become immersed in it, become one with it to unravel its mysteries and discover its hosts…
