Baptised as Matisco in the 1st century BC, home to the famous writer Alphonse de Lamartine and an important city in liberating France during the Second World War, Macon has an illustrious history to be discovered with VeryChic. At the heart of southern Burgundy, this is a superlative area of France to indulge in a fantastic cuisine and an incredible natural landscape.
Bordering on the Saone tributary, the Best Western is a historical building dating back to 1267, when it served as a checkpoint base for pilgrims on their way to Santiago de Compostela. The building has been home to some important guests over the centuries, from Winston Churchill, to Dali, through to glamorous stars the likes of Brigitte Bardot.
Renovated in 2013, the hotel has kept some of its original furniture and grandeur, combining elegant authenticity and contemporary chic in a prime location in Macon. This is represented in the rooms, showcasing a classic layout with added quirky pops of colours in its furniture and decorations. Indeed, a stay at the Best Western means basking in a unique, historical and prestigious setting whilst visiting Macon and its surroundings.
The hotel’s pièce de resistance, however, is its Wine Bar. As Macon is close to two of the popular wine roads that define the Burgundy region, it comes as no surprise that the Best Western is home to a great wine bar, showcasing the local wines from the Rhône Valley in an intimate setting. Come and discover a classic Pouilly-Fuissé at the Best Western Plus D’Europe et d’Angleterre for your next holiday in the Burgundy region.
