Presentation

This former Beaujeu property, dating from the 10th, 12th, 14th, 17th and 19th centuries, has been inhabited and is still in the same family since 1566! Don't miss the extraordinary view.

Welcome to the legendary Château de Montmelas, located in the heart of Beaujolais, just a 40-minute drive from Lyon. Surrounded by parkland and vineyards, this 10th-century fort housed a garrison until 1566, when it was renovated into the historic residence it is today. Enjoy an idyllic setting, stunning views, and beautiful walks.
The majestic interior features 13 bedrooms, perfect for family gatherings.
Restored in the 19th century by a contemporary of Viollet le Duc, it is characterized by its polygonal shape, its angles and its machicolated keep.
Still in the same family since 1566!
Extraordinary view over the entire Rhône Valley and Mont Blanc.
