Tilloy, has been shining and standing solidly on its values

PARIS, May 10, 2024
/CNW/ -- On May 12, 1954, the Relais
de Campagne is born: eight properties located between
Paris and Nice unite under the slogan 'La Route du
Bonheur'–The Road to Happiness. They would write the first chapter
in the history of the Association, a meaningful movement that
inspires its guests to discover the world in the most beautiful of
ways.

Starting in 1960, Relais de Campagne expands outside of
France with its first European properties.
In 1974, Relais de Campagne merges with Châteaux Hôtels to
become Relais & Châteaux. That same year, the association
creates Relais Gourmands to highlight gastronomy within its
properties.
In 1975, Relais & Châteaux welcomes its first
properties in the USA,
Canada and Japan.
By 1992, Relais & Châteaux expands its global footprint
to 40 countries.
In 2014, Relais & Châteaux presents its Vision with 20
commitments at UNESCO, pledging to preserve the world's
cuisines, share its passion for beauty and taste and promote a
more humane world.
Today, in 2024, the Association, presided by
Laurent Gardinier, gathers 580 unique properties throughout
the world, owned and operated by independent entrepreneurs who are
passionate about their craft and deeply committed to forging warm,
lasting relationships with their guests.
Relais & Châteaux also brings together a network of the most
Michelin-starred restaurants in the world: we count 376 Michelin
Stars, including 40 Green Stars, a symbol of the Association's
excellence in gastronomy and the desire to protect, promote and
enhance the richness and diversity of local cuisines and
hospitality traditions all over the world.
More than a brand, Relais & Châteaux represents a
profound philosophy: to create a better world through cuisine
and hospitality.
