Le Relais de Franc Mayne

Le Relais de Franc Mayne occupies a sixteenth-century wine château outside Saint-Émilion, where old stone quarries now hold Cabernet Franc ageing in barrels. Its nine rooms add bold textiles, contemporary lighting and modern comforts to the simple historic shell, while tastings, a billiards room and concierge support a stay centred on the estate’s working wine culture rather than formal hotel ritual.
