Journeys with Relais & Châteaux

A family spirit

Journeys with Relais & Châteaux

« Simplicity is the keynote of all true elegance. Elegance is when the inside is as beautiful as the outside ».
Coco Chanel

Relais & Châteaux stands for places where a sense of hospitality and a family spirit are essential values. Thanks to these, guests can take a pause, making room for relaxation, rest and the pleasure of good food.
Each gastronomic experience pays tribute to local heritage through close relationships with regional producers.

The Relais & Château label, created in 1975 from the merger of Relais campagne, Relais gourmands and Châteaux-hôtel, grants its members an elegant simplicity at the heart of nature. Its logo was inspired by a blend of a fleur-de-lis, a nod to royalty, and a butterfly evoking freedom, movement, escapes and discovery.

The commitment to sustainable development and ecology aligns with our own spirit, one of discovering nature while also protecting it. Travelling with respect for our surroundings, because the world brings colour and wonder. Setting out to meet it gently, with a sense of wonder.

Étendues Sauvages shares these values by staying as close as possible to nature, cultures and traditions. Imagining a journey where emotion constantly meets charm. Travelling to venture toward new horizons, new lands. Daring to encounter other worlds and growing richer through the discovery of different peoples.

Made up of 580 properties spread across all five continents, the hotels and restaurants bearing this label must reflect local heritage. What they share are commitments to sustainable development and respect for cultural traditions, under a charter built around their 5C rule: Character, Courtesy, Calm, Charm and Cuisine.

In South Africa with Londolozi, a luxurious sanctuary at the heart of Kruger Park's wildlife.
In Sri Lanka, with the Wild Coast Tented Lodge, nestled within Yala National Park, renowned for its wildlife, wild beaches and lush vegetation.
In Latin America, Sol y Luna offers an exceptional stay at the heart of Peru's Sacred Valley. At 2,800 metres altitude, colours are vivid: the blue of the sky, the red of the earth, an endless mosaic of flowers growing in abundance.

This is how our Relais & Châteaux-branded journeys guarantee quality and prestige, whether in Tanzania, Chile, or even Colombia, among many other destinations.

Auberge du père Bise

By Laurent Guillot, Founder of Étendues Sauvages. For once, our pick highlights a corner of paradise in mainland France. L'Auberge du Père Bise is a century-old local institution, taken over with great skill a few years ago by Jean and Magali Sulpice. While the Chef has earned his stars to reach the summit, his wife is just as accomplished in running the House. Décor, wellbeing, service... every detail is refined within this setting in Talloires, nestled on the shores of Lake Annecy. A place to discover, or discover again and again.
