La Table de Pauline
The Domaine Charles, located in the heart of the Hautes-Côtes de Beaune, in NANTOUX, cultivates 14 hectares of vines, including 10 hectares in the Hautes-Côtes de Beaune and 4 hectares in Volnay, Pommard, Meursault and Beaune.
The estate was passed on to Pascal and his daughters Pauline and Marie, François' son and granddaughter, and gave birth to Charles Père & Fille. Together, they offer new wines such as Chablis, Mâcon, Gevrey Chambertin and Nuits-Saint-Georges. Pauline, wanting people to taste their wines in a friendly and welcoming atmosphere, created
"La Table de Pauline".

You will be offered several options with different house wines to taste. These wines will be accompanied by a traditional Burgundian menu prepared by a regional caterer.
Pauline will be on hand throughout your meal to introduce you to the estate's wines and our beautiful region, and to guide you in your choices.

Since 1512, the Château des Pertonnières has been creating superb vintage wines in the fascinating Beaujolais des Pierres Dorées terroir, in Le Breuil, thanks to the expert know-how that has been passed down through the generations by the Dupeuble family.

Today, the Château des Pertonnières covers a surface area of 45 ha and is now managed by Stéphane and Ghislaine (Damien's son and daughter), who take care of the day-to-day running of the estate and the winemaking, while Paul deals with the marketing side of things.

Gorges de l'Ardèche
The Ardèche gorges are a listed nature reserve and are best explored by canoe, on foot, by small boat or along the tourist road with many breathtaking viewpoints from where visitors can explore the canyon in its impressive majesty.
With its endless ‘garrigue’(scrubland) and sunshine, this is the most Mediterranean region of Ardèche.
But beneath this peaceful, hot, southern land is a hidden network of underground rivers which, over the cen¬turies, scoured out miles of galleries and caves, such as the Chauvet Cave, that were subsequently occupied by our ancestors.
The Ardèche River has also carved 20 miles of wild gorges through the dominant limestone plateau, leaving behind a 200 ft free-standing natural arch Pont d'Arc.
The Ardèche Gorges are known far and wide and welcome every year many visitors seeking for nature discovery, escape and outdoor activities. They are one of the most popular sites in the county of Ardèche.
