Maison Doucet is the childhood home of chef Frédéric Doucet, who inherited his parents’ passion for Burgundian cuisine and hospitality. To experience the essence of Burgundy in refined relaxation, step across the threshold of this hotel brimming with character, set in the pretty village of Charolles, known as “The Little Venice of Charolais.” This French property, just thirty miles from Mâcon, has preserved the warm, welcoming atmosphere of a family home, where you can freely amble through the rooms, even the kitchen. The Maison Doucet’s restaurant, looking out onto the pleasant garden and heated swimming pool, has an ambiance in keeping with its cuisine: understated, elegant, and designed to bring people together. The chef cares deeply about his homeland and showcases local, in-season ingredients. His richly flavored dishes capture his commitment to emotion and shared enjoyment, while his love for the region extends even to the guest-room décor, where contemporary comfort is dotted with interesting, authentic objects from the surrounding area.

Our commitments

The Maison Doucet is an elegant riverside house in the village of Charolles in France’s bucolic southern Bourgogne. Here, amid ancient Romanesque churches and the peaceful landscape of the bocage, the hotel offers a seamless blend of contemporary and traditional.
Frédéric Doucet, the owner and a Michelin-starred chef, shares his passion for food with the local community. For several years, Doucet has volunteered for France’s “Semaines du Goût”—a major charitable initiative to introduce people to food, educate them on eating well, and counter social inequalities. Working in close partnership with the on-site staff, he conceives and prepares a gourmet meal at a large, local high school. The challenge is the sheer scale of the exercise, but together, they deliver haute-cuisine, normally reserved for a handful of diners, to some 1,200 students. The logistical effort involved makes the event deeply memorable for the students and has been featured on regional news shows.
