Sampans, France
Château du Mont Joly
A Michelin-starred manor house on the edge of the Saône valley, Château du Mont Joly channels Jura terroir through technically precise modern cuisine. Chef Romuald Fassenet, formerly sous-chef at Jean-Paul Jeunet's celebrated table, works with Bresse poultry, morels, and vin jaune in a setting that pairs an 18th-century pink façade with stripped-back contemporary interiors. A short drive from Dole, with guestrooms for those who prefer to stay.
