Property information
The main house of the domain is an old Burgundian house from the XVIIIth century. The room "Retour d'Asie" is located on the first floor of the house and is accessible by a beautiful stone staircase. The guests will be able to enjoy, on the ground floor, the living room and the dining room, where we will serve them the breakfast or the meal, when these cannot be served in the gardens.
The Guest House is accessible through a separate entrance from the main house. It is composed of 2 guest rooms, a cathedral lounge and a large kitchen. It can be rented as a whole, and in this case, an extra bed (5th bed) is available on request.
The guest house, as well as the room located in the main house, give direct access to the French gardens and the flower garden located at the back of the property.
All you have to do is choose your place of rest, in the shade of the hundred-year-old trees or in the middle of hydrangeas and roses.
As of spring 2022, an 8 x 2.50 m swimming corridor will be available in one of the property's gardens. It will allow you to refresh yourself and take a few swims, in the morning when you wake up, or at any other time of the day. This pool is shared with the guests at the Domaine des Tillets.
Breakfasts and meals can be taken in the gardens.
Dinners, available upon reservation, are served exclusively on Fridays and Saturdays.
