The Domaine de Montclair: A Charming Getaway in the Family Home

The Montclair Estate

The Domaine de Montclair is an authentic 19th-century family home in the heart of the Beaujolais des Pierres Dorées region, just 30 minutes from Lyon. In a setting where time stands still, you’ll enjoy a relaxing break that brings back the joys of your childhood: strolling through the park’s paths, playing games and reading in the grand living room, and enjoying an afternoon snack in the orangery… Sophie and Olivier look forward to sharing this place with you, where the elegance of a historic home blends with modern comforts for a charming stay in a region that remains unspoiled.

A Brief History of the Domaine de Montclair

It is a family home purchased by Olivier’s great-grandparents in 1884 to provide their children with a pleasant place to spend the summer. It is typical of the grand mansions of the 19th-century bourgeoisie, with its stately rooms, its grounds for children to play, its vegetable garden, and… its vineyards—since we’re in the Beaujolais region!
