Nestled at the bottom of the valley overlooked by the coast of the Damned Mountains and close to the Loire, Chavignol is an authentically Berry village. It is there, over the generations, that the Bourgeois family has taken root for 10 generations.
Jean-Marc Bourgeois comes from an old family of winegrowers. Always passionate about cooking, and after having learned his skills in starred restaurants, Jean-Marc Bourgeois decided in 1994 to take over the small restaurant in the village of Chavignol "La Treille", a warm and friendly place, where the inhabitants like to meet up. He is committed to reinterpreting the culinary heritage of the region through more gourmet and gourmet cuisine.
Since then, Jean-Marc Bourgeois has created a hotel with two distinct restaurants: the gastronomic “La Côte des Monts Damnés” and the bistro. Do we really need to specify that the wine list offers one of the finest selections of white and red Sancerre wines?
