Home to 6,000 people, the charming little town of Chagny sits just south of Meursault and Beaune, in picturesque Burgundy. Famous for its colourful Sunday market and the landmark 3 Michelin-starred Lameloise Restaurant — also one of the best places to stay in Chagny — this is a superb destination for keen foodies. Adventurers and history buffs, too, will find plenty to discover.

Stroll through the town centre to visit the imposing Château Diot and the ancient Eglise Saint-Martin. The house and medicinal garden of Doctor Loydreau are fascinating, whilst Richard Serra’s Octagon for Saint Eloi has a dramatic contemporary edge. Walk or cycle along the Canal du Centre’s towpath as a family, and fill your bags with fresh local produce at the Sunday market; there's plenty that you could savour at home.

Beaune and Meursault are well worth visiting for their food, history and buzzy events, whilst hikes, bike rides or horse rides along the Route des Grands Crus are very special. Fans of Burgundy wine can enjoy tours and tastings at dozens of nearby wineries, including Domaine de la Folie and Domaine Nathalie Richez. For delectable fare paired with the region’s top wines, head to iconic Lameloise — undoubtedly one of the best places to stay in Chagny.
