Head towards the countryside of Laperrière-sur-Saône, just 2 hours north of Lyon and about a forty-minute drive from Dijon, to discover an unexpectedly delightful place: Hill Ranch. Here, there are no tall buildings or subways, but a setting straight out of a Sergio Leone film. Saloon, raw wood, antique finds… everything is designed to immerse you in a slow-life version of the Wild West.

What’s the twist that changes everything? Wallabies wandering freely around the property. Yes, you read that right! We’re halfway between Arizona and Australia, and honestly, the combination works wonderfully.
An immersive experience with animals and relaxation
Forget about classic hotels! At Hill Ranch, you’ll sleep in a real, revamped western wagon, set on a wooden platform for extra comfort. Inside, a brand new queen-size bed awaits you for a night of pure disconnection. Plus, you get a private bathroom, shower, and toilet. Translation: you’re living the cowboy experience… without sacrificing your comfort (and we totally approve of that). In the morning, a lovely breakfast is included to kickstart your day gently, with coffee in hand and a view of nature.
What makes the experience truly unforgettable is the environment. On-site, you can get up close to curious goats, their kids... and especially those famous wallabies that add all the charm to the place. The ranch also offers access to a spa (depending on the season), taking relaxation to the next level. Add a campfire, absolute tranquility, and a starry sky, and you have a blissful escape from time.
An unusual getaway just for adults
The saloon, recently renovated and heated, adds to the decor with its swinging doors, piano, and warm atmosphere. You can easily imagine yourself there, drink in hand, reenacting a scene from a western… in a chill version. Hill Ranch focuses on a peaceful and intimate vibe. For this reason, access is limited to those over 15 years old.
