Chateau de Rigny sits on a 5-hectare park located on the banks of the Saône River. It has a terrace that overlooks the park and the outdoor swimming pool and tennis court.

If your criteria for traveling are to stay in authentic places, at the opposite of banal and impersonal hotels, please put the Chateau de Rigny on your stay-over and vacation plans. We loved it although we only stayed one night on our voyage between Switzerland and Belgium. The place is beautifull even when the weather is cold and drizzling. One is immerged immediately in history dating many centuries. Before dinner we savoured the house apperitif in front of a cosy fireplace in the main salon surrounded with ancient books and hunting trophees. The dinner was excellent in a grandiose room: we felt like royalty. We chose the wild boar and scallops accompained by a nice glass of local wine. No surprise that the restaurant gets high rates. After a good night sleep, we took our breakfast in the winter garden, fully glazed towards the park. The total bill defies any stay we had in other hotels: we would call it democratic!
This is a place of dreams. In summer it must be out of this world. As one can guess from this review, we deeply fell in love with the Chateau de Rigny.
We know Gray very well because we have relatives there.
We know Gray very well because we have relatives there. It is a lovely provincial town on the beautiful River Saône: 'la France profonde'. As a consequence, if we drive down from England to Provence we find it an ideal distance to stop and relax. (We arrived in Calais at around midday and arrived in Gray in time for a French hotel dinner.) Normally we would stay with our family, but on this occasion there was no space, so we chose the Château de Rigny, a very please two-and-a-half kilometre drive along, and situated on, the Saône, which was about half as expensive again as the other place at which we have stayed on more than one occasion: the 'Au Mastroquet'. The latter has the advantage of being in the town, but the former certainly has a discreet touch of class.
I yet again find myself recording how annoying I find Booking.com's patronising exhortations to write this 'review'. Currently I'm being told "Cue the confetti!"; non, merci.

The location and facilities of this hotel is exceptional; so beautiful and relaxing we booked an extra night and spent a day lazing round the pool.
The rooms are decorated in the traditional style and ours was a little tired … but this is reflected in the price and the beds were comfortable, everything was very clean so we have no complaints.
Couldn’t recommend a stay here highly enough.
If you don’t speak French be prepared… you’ll need to make an effort to ask for help, but rest assured help is there!
Excellent stay with a friendly very helpful host. Superb clean comfortable room. Breakfast was excellent sat out in the morning sun and would easily put most high class hotels to shame. Even provided garage space for both our motorbikes.
The hotel is very nice and the personnel is extremely polite. Even though the hotel has not been renovated for a while, we found it very charming and enjoyed our stay and dinner there. Breakfast is very good as well.
