Marie-Eugénie and Dominique give you light-flooded rooms in their pretty half-timbered barn which looks out over a big lawned garden. Bedrooms are comfortable with much family art; there’s an inviting, books-and-magazines salon and a slick dining-kitchen where you eat.
The cooking is legendary, changing with the seasons but always with the freshest local ingredients: roasted Bresse chicken, cheese from the rugged Jura Mountains, wines from Beaune, all served around a big shared table.
Potter around Louhans’ market and count the 157 arches of the arcaded street – the longest in France – or make day trips to Brancion’s hilltop chapel, the tiny wine producing villages around Chardonnay, Tourmus’ famous abbey or Beaune’s colourful Hospice.
Due to a miss understanding on our behalf we arrived late. Our hosts could not have been more understanding. After a quick freshen up we came down to a wonderful meal of terrine, guinea fowl, cheese and clafoutis, all home cooked and delicious. We had a very comfortable stay in a beautiful room before heading off the. Txt morning. I would defiantly recommend this wonderful place to stay with fantastic hosts in lovely, welcoming surroundings.
