Welcome
A beautiful view of history
Château de Mirande, an Old French term meaning “beautiful view”, dates back to the 11th century as a dependency of nearby Cluny Abbey, the largest sacred space in Christendom until Saint Peter’s Basilica in Rome in the 16th century.
With over a thousand years of history, Château de Mirande has been used a monastery, a home for Lords in the 15th century, and a home to a Baron and Viscount.
Today, guests can stay in Château de Mirande and enjoy a unique piece of history. Major renovations have re-established the full estate for the first time in nearly a thousand years, with a strict focus on retaining its original character.
Château de Mirande’s prime location in the heart of Burgundy’s famous and historical wine and cheese region now delights a new generation of traveller. Guests can use our complimentary bikes to explore the incredible sights and experiences this region holds, whilst soaking up a tiny piece of French history in our own comfortable accommodation.
Nestled in Southern Burgundy
The Château de Mirande sits in the beautiful countryside of Southern Burgundy, home to the world-famous Mâconnais wine region and bordering the legendary Beaujolais vineyards. Local attractions include the impressive St Philibert Cloister Church in Tournus and the town of Mâcon, known for its historic Mediterranean-style architecture.
The nearby Saône River offers a variety of fun activities like canoeing, water skiing and relaxing boat rides. We recommend spending the day exploring the natural beauty of the area.
Does an 18-hole round of golf sound like a good way to spend your day? The La Salle Golf Course & Country Club is just a five-minute drive away. This charming golf course offers a range of activities for all ages among the harmonious landscapes of Southern Burgundy.
Feeling a little more adventurous? Explore Burgundy at your own pace on horseback for a day trip to share with others.
Horse riding enthusiasts have numerous equestrian trails that offer a unique perspective of the beauty of the French countryside. Cycling along the “Voie bleue” on the banks of the Saône, from Mâcon to Tournus, makes a wonderful day trip, as do sightseeing trips to the spectacular castles, Romanesque churches and local markets of Southern Burgundy.

The region has several Michelin-starred restaurants and we invite you to sample the historic flavors of Burgundy, which will stay with you long after you return home.
