Château de Bissieux
An exceptional estate in the heart of the Dombes region, where nature, heritage and elegance come together. Château de Bissieux welcomes you to a 9-hectare park, offering five distinctive guest rooms and an independent cottage.
At the crossroads of gourmet Bresse, the thousand ponds of the Dombes and the vineyards of Beaujolais, the Château de Bissieux is an essential stop for discovering some of France’s most remarkable regions.
This exceptional estate welcomes you in the heart of the medieval town of Châtillon-sur-Chalaronne, officially recognised as one of France’s most charming historic detours.
Château de Bissieux offers five distinctive guest rooms, each with its own character, as well as an independent cottage for a more private and flexible stay.
Our guest rooms invite you to escape: each one has its own atmosphere, textures and subtle references to other cultures and eras. Designed with your comfort in mind, they give every stay a unique character.
Created in a more traditional spirit, the château’s cottage combines historic charm, modern comfort and absolute tranquillity — perfect for a break as a couple, with family or friends.
Enjoy a stay that blends modern comfort with authenticity: comfortable rooms, gourmet breakfasts, intimate lounges and a park filled with century-old trees. Our guests benefit from a personalised welcome, in a setting designed for rest, inspiration and discovery.
Take time to breathe and unwind during your stay. Our guest house offers relaxation facilities including a hammam, a sauna, and a outdoor swimming-pool.
I have never seen a château so beautifully restored by private owners: every room has been carefully considered down to the smallest detail, restored using high-quality materials and with great taste by its owners. Each bedroom has its own distinct theme.
We stayed in a spacious room overlooking the park, with beautiful furniture and décor, and a very attractive bathroom. The breakfast was excellent, with freshly pressed fruit juice and a selection of local specialties. The owners were discreet yet always available.
We had always dreamed of staying in a château, and this one proved to be a wonderful opportunity. Located north of Lyon (about a one-hour drive), this small château is a true haven of peace. The rooms, carefully decorated and full of unique charm, are run by extremely friendly, attentive and thoughtful owners; the establishment has a very family-oriented feel. As for the food, it is simply delicious.
Château de Bissieux is located at the gates of Châtillon-sur-Chalaronne. The centre of this medieval town can be reached in a 10-minute walk. Do not hesitate to take a small detour along a country road to enjoy a pleasant evening — a perfect way to start your holiday. The best way to enjoy it is to savour a lovely meal in the village and, after a bottle of wine, return peacefully to relax.
The typically French breakfast is included and is truly worth it: the tart is exquisite.
My partner and I spent a delightful time in a peaceful, green château filled with history. We would like to thank the owners for their kindness and for welcoming us into this unusual and pleasant place.
Less than an hour from Lyon, between wine villages, Bresse markets, natural parks and gastronomic routes, Château de Bissieux is the perfect base from which to discover the region’s cultural and natural treasures.
Whether you are looking for a romantic escape, a cultural getaway or a peaceful stop on your journey, Château de Bissieux offers an unforgettable experience in an atmosphere that is both warm and refined.
