Château de Besseuil stands in Clessé (Saône-et-Loire), in the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region of France. Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

In Clessé, in the Saône-et-Loire department, the château de Besseuil stands on a hillside, surrounded by its own chardonnay vineyard. The 17th century main building, flanked by two pavilions and centred on a stair tower, still contains a large room with a fireplace dated 1657. A chapel from the same century stands in the grounds to the east of the building. The estate has been converted into a hotel with a restaurant, which now shapes how the site can be visited.
