Chateau Le Sallay  

Tucked into the countryside of Saincaize-Meauce in western Burgundy, Château Le Sallay is a 15th‑century castle-hotel just outside Nevers. It’s family-friendly and pet-friendly, a 15-minute drive from Golf public du Nivernais and Tour Goguin and under 10 minutes by car to Circuit de Nevers Magny‑Cours.

This boutique 4-star castle has 16 rooms with flat-screen TVs, complimentary bottled water and blackout drapes. The property sits on 4 hectares of parkland with ancient trees, a stream, cosy hammocks and quiet corners. Inside you’ll find a library, a yoga area and a massage room for low-key, upscale downtime.

Enjoy a seasonal outdoor pool, bicycles to rent and concierge services. Complimentary Wi‑Fi and free self-parking keep things easy. Babysitting is available for a surcharge, and the grounds invite slow mornings and hammock naps.

Well-suited for events and meetings, the château offers conference space, meeting and presentation facilities and several halls that can host up to 200 guests. Express check-in/out and on-site parking make group logistics simple.

There’s an on-site restaurant and limited-hours room service for relaxed nights in. Buffet breakfast is served daily from 7:30–9:30 AM for a fee, and the venue regularly hosts weddings, gala dinners and seminars.
