Jarnioux is a picturesque village in the Beaujolais region of eastern France, now part of the commune of Porte des Pierres Dorées in the Rhône department.

It is known for its beautiful golden-stone buildings, rolling vineyards, and scenic countryside that typify the area known as the “Pays des Pierres Dorées.” The village’s most famous landmark is the Château de Jarnioux, a medieval castle founded in the late 13th or early 14th century and expanded over the following centuries.

Built from local golden limestone and distinguished by its seven towers, the château is one of the architectural treasures of the Beaujolais region and is listed as a historic monument. Today, Jarnioux is appreciated for its historic charm, wine-growing heritage, and peaceful atmosphere. Visitors are drawn by its well-preserved architecture, vineyard landscapes, and the opportunity to explore one of the most attractive historic villages in the Beaujolais area.
