1217
It is better to shine than just to twinkle. These were the words of Thomas of Aquin, contemporary of the Château’s creation, the year of which, 1217, gives the restaurant its name, and confirm his key role in the Bagnols experience today. Shining bright, the cuisine of Jean Alexandre Ouaratta, our recently Michelin-starred Chef, uses simplicity and colour, love of the produce and the terroir, revisited with a seasonal vibrancy which transcends decor and gastronomy as we know it.
