Paris-l'Hôpital: A wine-growing village in the Cozanne Valley

Paris-l'Hôpital is a wine-growing village in the Hautes Côtes de Beaune, in the Cozanne Valley. Winegrowing, the stream and its mills, and the architectural heritage of Église Saint-Marc define different aspects of the village. If you are looking for hotels in Paris-l'Hôpital, you can first decide which of these will shape your stay most: a wine tasting by appointment, the landscape around the Cozanne, fishing or historic buildings. These interests provide a concrete framework for choosing where to stay.

Winegrowing and landscape

The Cozanne flows near the village and is lined with several mills, including Moulin Martin, Moulin Bachet and Moulin Pignot. The landscape also extends beyond the commune: the classified site of Montagne des Trois Croix spans Paris-l'Hôpital as well as La Rochepot, Santenay, Cheilly-lès-Maranges and Dezize-lès-Maranges; it was classified on June 30, 1993. Paris-l'Hôpital is also part of the ZNIEFF Monts du Couchois, an area of regional interest featuring limestone grasslands, bocage meadows, woodland and underground habitats. The two landscape designations highlight different features: Montagne des Trois Croix spans several communes, while the ZNIEFF is characterized by its habitats. This helps distinguish the immediate river and mill setting from the wider landscape areas.

Wine tastings and fishing

Domaine Saint Marc offers wine tastings by appointment every day in its cellar on Rue de Nolay in Paris-l'Hôpital. If you plan a tasting, make an appointment. Fishing is also clearly defined by location: the Cozanne is a first-category fishing river between Moulin Bachet and the boundary between Change and Nolay. This information applies to the specified stretch, not to the Cozanne as a whole. Moulin Bachet is also one of the mills along the river and serves as a reference point for the fishing stretch described.

Église Saint-Marc and chapel remains

Église Saint-Marc is a church in the Neo-Romanesque style; construction was completed in 1845. Behind the church, Impasse de la Chapelle leads to the remains of the Knights Hospitaller chapel. The village's history is thus represented by two distinct architectural landmarks: the Neo-Romanesque church, with its completion date, and the remains of the Knights Hospitaller chapel.

For 2026, Église Saint-Marc is open year-round, except during religious services. As conditions may change, it is advisable to check opening arrangements before your visit.

Getting to Paris-l'Hôpital

From Cheilly-lès-Maranges, take the D133; from Santenay and Dezize-lès-Maranges, take the D136. You can choose between these two routes based on your starting point. When planning, you can also connect your journey with the main interests of your stay: wine tastings by appointment, the fishing stretch on the Cozanne, or Église Saint-Marc, with its closure during religious services.
