Europe / France / Rhone Valley / Vienne / Best Hotels

Domaine de Clairefontaine

Surrounded by a dreamy 3-hectare (7-acre) park, this luxurious hotel is our favorite choice for Vienne and the Northern Rhône wine region. After wandering around the violet-carpeted forest and the peacock aviary, you can dine on trout from the freshwater pond in the Michelin-starred restaurant run by chef/owner Philippe Girardon. Well-priced accommodation is provided in the manor, the former stables and Le Cottage (that houses an informal bistro).
