Best Western Plus Hotel Plaisance

In the centre of Villefranche-sur-Saone, the capital of the Beaujolais, the Best Western Plus Hotel Plaisance, Villefranche-sur-Saone, France, makes an easy base for a day among the vineyards, with soundproofed, recently refurbished rooms to return to after the wine roads. A watched private car park and garages add peace of mind, and the hotel keeps a lounge, a lift, and a complimentary newspaper, with rooms that offer free Wi-Fi, along with interconnecting and family options for those travelling together and a lounge for a quiet evening. The central setting puts the town's shops and restaurants at the door. The Beaujolais rolls out just beyond town, a patchwork of granite hills and stone villages strung along the wine route, where the famous gamay reds are poured into cellars from Brouilly to Fleurie, with the city of Lyon and its great restaurants a short drive south. The Saone river runs close by for a riverside walk, and wine country starts where the town ends.
