Nestled in the heights of the Beaujolais region, the village of Saint-Amour-Bellevue<\/strong> stands out for its beauty, bucolic landscapes and rich local products. Not to be confused with Saint-Amour in the Jura, Saint-Amour-Bellevue is a well-hidden village located less than 10km from M\u00e2con, easily accessible from Paris or Lyon. The village is said to be named after a roman soldier who founded a monastery in the area after converting to Christianity.<\/p>

The vineyard is the smallest and northernmost Beaujolais AOC<\/strong>, producing 17,500 hectolitres of wine per year from 319 hectares of vines. Its climate and soil is ideal for growing Gamay<\/strong>, an emblematic grape variety in the region. The romantically named village of Saint-Amour attracts oeno-tourists all year round.<\/p>

Every year, on Valentine\u2019s Day, couples flock to Saint-Amour to celebrate their love, get married<\/strong> or renew their wedding vows. All these celebrations around love and wine<\/strong> make it a lively and welcoming village. Movie lovers can also walk in the footsteps of Poelvoorde and Depardieu as the film \u201cSaint-Amour\u201d was shot in the region a few years ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
