Bresse
A masterpiece of flamboyant Gothic, a countryside of half-timbered farms, and the most celebrated poultry in France.
Thirty minutes from Mâcon, the Royal Monastery of Brou is one of the most astonishing monuments in France: Margaret of Austria had it built in the 16th century for her husband, and the result is lace carved in stone.
All around lies Bresse: half-timbered farms with their curious Saracen chimneys, markets, and of course the AOP poultry that the finest tables of the region celebrate. We compose the day between heritage and gastronomy, with a lunch reserved to match.
Mathis tells the story in English or French, keeps every timing, and brings you back without you having looked at your watch once.
Your exact route is composed for you. Some stops may remain a surprise until the day itself.
Tell us the occasion. We imagine the rest.
