The story
In the heart of the Beaujolais wine region, Auberge du Paradis occupies a handsome bourgeois house that blends the rustic charm of a country home with a sleek, contemporary edge. The interiors are described as both cosy and elegantly urban, creating a setting that feels relaxed yet refined.
The restaurant offers two distinct dining experiences. "Lucienne fait des siennes" is the fine dining table, where the kitchen presents a modern cuisine that is both inventive and rooted in the region. The second, "Joséphine à Table," is a bistro that channels the warmth of a grandmother's kitchen—think generous, slow-cooked dishes from cast-iron cocottes, full of familiar, comforting aromas. This dual approach allows guests to choose between a more formal meal and a convivial, family-style brunch or dinner.
The Auberge is more than a restaurant. Its walled garden, shaded by trees and surrounding a swimming pool, offers a simple, convivial space for warm summer days. Guest rooms, each with a distinct, contemporary personality, provide a comfortable base for exploring the Mâconnais and Beaujolais crus. A separate gîte, "La Maison de Marius," offers a modern, design-led loft for two, complete with a private terrace.
The quality of the cooking and the overall experience have earned the Auberge a place in the Michelin guide, a recognition that speaks to its consistent standards. Whether you come for the modern cuisine of Lucienne, the hearty fare of Joséphine, or simply to unwind by the pool, this is a place that feels both special and genuinely welcoming.
