From the 1880s the owners, Alphonse Michoud and his wife Thérèse de Boissieu, set out to redesign the estate. They kept the exterior sober but lavished attention on the interiors, calling on the workshop of the painter Victor Bussière for the salons and bedrooms. In true 19th-century taste, each room evokes a different period: the Middle Ages, the Renaissance or the age of Louis XV. For the park the couple turned to Marc-Antoine II and Gabriel II Luizet, from a dynasty of Lyon horticulturists, who laid out wide curving paths, lawns and viewpoints. The whole estate, with its outbuildings, park and walls, was listed as a historic monument in 2023. ## Architecture The suite of reception rooms is remarkably well preserved. The small and large salons, painted by Victor Bussière in light Louis XV tones, lead to a Renaissance-style dining room with a beamed French-style ceiling and a neo-Gothic library with a monumental fireplace and furniture bearing the owners' arms. Corridors and stairs in pale wood picked out with coloured lines unify the house. ## Visiting Chazoux is a private home and is not open to visitors, so please respect the owners' privacy. Hurigny lies on the edge of Mâcon, a convenient place to begin a day in the Mâconnais vineyards or on the Lamartine trail towards Milly, Monceau and Saint-Point. ## Did you know? An ice house was hidden beneath one of the belvederes in the park, while a heated orangery and greenhouse extend the east wing of the house. ## Around Château de Chazoux What to combine with Château de Chazoux on the same day, nearest first. ### Villages - [Pouilly-Fuissé](https://www.cote-privee.com/villages/pouilly-fuisse) (8 km away): Burgundy's great southern white, grown beneath the limestone cliffs of Solutré and Vergisson. - [Saint-Véran](https://www.cote-privee.com/villages/saint-veran) (10 km away): Fresh Chardonnay from villages that wrap around Pouilly-Fuissé, beneath the Roche de Solutré. - [Viré-Clessé](https://www.cote-privee.com/villages/vire-clesse) (13 km away): Two neighbouring villages of the Haut-Mâconnais, joined in one appellation for generous Chardonnay. ### Châteaux - [Château de Monceau](https://www.cote-privee.com/chateaux/chateau-de-monceau) (4 km away): Lamartine's wine château near Mâcon, where he wrote in a small wooden pavilion among the vines. - [Château de Fuissé](https://www.cote-privee.com/chateaux/chateau-de-fuisse) (7 km away): The Vincent family's historic estate in Pouilly-Fuissé, home of the appellation's only monopole premier cru. - [Maison de Lamartine](https://www.cote-privee.com/chateaux/maison-de-lamartine-milly) (8 km away): The childhood home of Alphonse de Lamartine, a winegrowers' house that inspired some of his finest poems. ### Things to do - [Cité des Climats et vins de Bourgogne, Mâcon](https://www.cote-privee.com/things-to-do/cite-des-climats-et-vins-macon) (4 km away): The Mâcon site of Burgundy's wine discovery centre, marked by a tower shaped like a wine-press screw. - [Ursulines Museum, Mâcon (Musée des Ursulines)](https://www.cote-privee.com/things-to-do/musee-des-ursulines-macon), 4 km away: Mâcon's museum of art and archaeology, in a 17th-century convent, with rooms devoted to Lamartine. - [Église Saint-Pierre de Mâcon](https://www.cote-privee.com/things-to-do/eglise-saint-pierre-macon) (5 km away): Mâcon's largest church, a neo-Romanesque landmark whose twin spires rise above the Saône. ### Restaurants - [L’O des Vignes](https://www.cote-privee.com/restaurants/l-o-des-vignes-fuisse) (8 km away · 1 MICHELIN star): A Meilleur Ouvrier de France cooking in the heart of Pouilly-Fuissé. - [La Huchette](https://www.cote-privee.com/restaurants/la-huchette-replonges) (8 km away · 1 MICHELIN star): Bresse produce with a Mediterranean accent, just across the Saône from Mâcon. - [La Table de Chaintré](https://www.cote-privee.com/restaurants/la-table-de-chaintre) (9 km away · 1 MICHELIN star): One menu a week, one husband-and-wife team, in a former village grocery near Mâcon. ## Questions about Château de Chazoux ### How far is Château de Chazoux from Beaune?
