This villa is set in a Burgundy village just a short drive from the popular market town of Chagny, in the Saône-et-Loire department. This is an ideal location for exploring the famous towns and vineyards of Beaune, Chalon-sur-Saône and the rest of the Burgundy wine region.
Wander down into the village, passing characterful shuttered houses and pretty archways, pick up morning pastries or treats from the boulangerie and patisserie or drop into the small supermarket, just a short walk away. The village also has a restaurant and is home to many wineries where you can sample some of the local Côte Chalonnaise wine from vineyards surrounding the village and beyond.
Chagny (4.5km) is a lovely market town, reached by car or bike, and a visit to the vibrant and atmospheric market on a Sunday morning is a must. You’ll also find a variety of restaurants serving good, local food as well as the famous 3 Michelin starred Maison Lameloise (make sure you reserve a table in advance!). It’s also a nice place for walking and cycling, especially along the Canal du Centre with its pretty towpaths.
Cycling and keen walkers can also follow the wonderful Voie Verte from near the village up to either Beaune or Chalon-sur-Saône, passing vineyards and beautiful scenery.
It’s an easy drive (or cycle!) to the riverside town of Chalon-sur-Saône (17km) with its cathedral, museums and pretty old quarter which is perfect for exploring. Stop for a coffee on the charming Place Saint-Vincent or wander by the banks of the Saône where you can take summer boat trips along the river.
Beaune (23km) is the most well known town of this region, around half an hour by car or you could take the train from the local train station just outside the village. The town hosts a wonderful market on a Wednesday and Saturday morning, has a number of great restaurants and wineries and is home to stunning historic buildings, including the much loved Hospices de Beaune.
From here, follow Burgundy’s wine road, Route des Grands Crus, passing through idyllic vineyards and pretty wine-towns such as Puligny-Montrachet, Meursault, Volnay and Pommard, all within a twenty-minute drive, as well as many other villages of the Côte de Beaune and Côte de Nuits regions.
Other interesting towns to visit include historic Autun (43km) with its lovely market and Dijon (68km), with its famous mustard stores and beautiful buildings. Nature lovers, in the meantime, should head to the wonderful Parc Naturel Régional du Morvan with its rolling hills, woodlands, streams and plenty of opportunities to hike, mountain bike or even try out some watersports on one of the rivers or lakes.
