Southern Routes du Bonheurs
The roads to happiness

In 1954, five unique small properties in France banded together to create a touring route from Paris to Nice called the “Route du Bonheur.” As guests experienced the quality and service these properties offered, the Relais & Châteaux association began to grow.

We have three special Routes du Bonheurs that include The Fearrington House Inn, Restaurant, and Spa. Mouse over the map to discover some other southern gems!

A sunlit, winding brick path cuts through a lush, green park. A lamppost stands near a blossoming tree branch in the foreground. Surrounding the path are various bushes, trees, and flowers, with a few signs visible in the background. Fearrington Village

FROM OUR GUESTS

Luxurious & Calming
“The atmosphere is wonderful. It is not a huge property so you can enjoy all that it has to offer but it is so unique and you feel as if there is no one else around. It is truly the best place that we have ever stayed.”

– Frank S.
