We offer you a trip through France that combines two outstanding Relais & Châteaux hotels – each with its own unique character, yet equally impeccable in service, cuisine, and atmosphere. By combining the Hôtel Richer de Belleval in Montpellier and Les Prés d’Eugénie in the Landes, we will help you create an itinerary that will encompass the entire palette of Southern France: from the bustling historic Mediterranean center to the tranquil expanses of the ocean coast.

The route is logistically simple and convenient: the distance between the hotels is approximately 300 km (approximately a 4-hour drive or a 2.5-hour train journey via Bordeaux). This allows you to seamlessly combine the excitement of the city (excursions, shopping, museum visits) with complete immersion in nature (spa programs, forest walks, bike tours). We recommend planning a stay of 2-3 nights at each hotel – this way, guests will have time to experience the spirit of both places without overbooking.

Hôtel Richer de Belleval: the grandeur of history and taste

The five-star Hotel Richer de Belleval, part of the prestigious Relais & Châteaux chain, is located in the historic center of Montpellier, on the picturesque Place de la Canourgue. This 17th-century mansion has become a symbol of the harmonious union of classical heritage, contemporary art, and haute cuisine.

About the location and region

Montpellier is one of the most dynamic and sunny cities in Occitanie, with a rich history and unique architecture. The hotel is within walking distance of key attractions—medieval streets, squares, Saint-Pierre Cathedral, and France’s oldest botanical garden. Mediterranean resorts (Palavas-les-Flots, La Grande-Motte) and the vineyards of Languedoc are just a 20-30-minute drive away, making the hotel an ideal base for exploring the region.

About the hotel

The mansion has been carefully restored, preserving its original details—monumental frescoes, antique fireplaces, and elegant stucco moldings. A private courtyard with a fountain and abundant greenery creates an atmosphere of intimacy and tranquility amid the bustle of the city. The rooms and suites are decorated in a contemporary Art Deco style, with antique details, emphasizing the hotel’s status as a Palace.

Gastronomy

The hotel’s legendary restaurant, Le Jardin des Sens, created by the renowned chefs the Pourcel brothers—world stars of French cuisine—is central to its concept. The restaurant’s menu is a symbiosis of Mediterranean traditions and an innovative approach, where every ingredient is fully realized. A more casual dining experience is offered in the cozy bar with signature cocktails and the refined culinary bistro, serving regional cuisine in a casual atmosphere.

The hotel offers everything necessary for a comfortable stay:
• 24-hour room service;
• Complimentary high-speed Wi-Fi;
• Air conditioning in all rooms;
• Complimentary parking for guests.

Les Prés d’Eugénie: The Embodiment of the Art of Living

Les Prés d’Eugénie is located in the southwest of France, in the Landes region. This destination is a true treasure for discerning travelers who value authenticity, a wealth of flavors, and privacy.

About the Location and Region

The Landes region is an unspoiled corner of nature between the ocean, forest, and countryside. Vast pine forests, charming villages, and a leisurely pace of life create the aura of refined serenity that many travel to France in search of.

The hotel serves as a gateway to the region’s cultural and culinary treasures. Its prime location between Bordeaux and the French and Spanish Basque Country (San Sebastian) offers access to world-renowned vineyards, a vibrant gastronomic scene, elegant towns, and exclusive experiences that are only possible in the hinterland.

This is a true paradise for lovers of active recreation and slow travel. Tailored programs are available, from golf and forest bike rides to wellness retreats, horseback riding, and nature excursions.

The culinary heritage of the region, renowned for its foie gras, fresh seafood, Chalosse beef, Armagnac, and local wines, is revealed at vibrant markets, traditional farms, and restaurants serving regional cuisine that captures the generous spirit of the southwest.

About the hotel

Les Prés d’Eugénie is a Palace hotel and a member of the Relais & Châteaux association. It was created by Christine and Michel Guérard, pioneers of Nouvelle Cuisine and among the most influential figures in French gastronomy. Their creative vision continues to be nurtured today by the Guérard family.

The popular gastronomic destination centers around Michel Guérard’s renowned restaurant, awarded three Michelin stars and continuously receiving awards since 1977. The hotel’s other establishments celebrate the naturalness, terroir, and progressiveness of the renowned dietary Cuisine Minceur.

The hotel comprises 45 rooms, suites, and apartments, housed in several 19th-century buildings, nestled in lush gardens with centuries-old trees. The interiors are decorated with antique furniture, rare paintings, and luxury fabrics.

Spa and Wellness

La Ferme Thermale, a luxury spa resort using geothermal springs known since ancient times, is located in a restored 18th-century manor house and combines the restorative properties of thermal waters with personalized treatments, holistic programs, and immersive experiences for the harmony of body and spirit.

We recommend combining these two hotels for discerning travelers seeking not just a vacation but a profound cultural and culinary experience. You can offer it as a standalone tour or in combination with additional transfers or excursions along the route—for example, with a stop in Bordeaux or the Basque coast. We are ready to provide all necessary support for booking and coordination.
