Beyond the hamlet’s church, in gardens where birds sing and hens roam, is a blue-shuttered ‘maison de maître.’ Corinne and Christian love nothing more than to share their life and their home, its regal sitting room, its elegant dining room, its long table laden with seasonal fruits, organic breads and homemade jams at breakfast. Discover historic Avallon and the fine wines of Chablis; return to polished boards, lush linen, a soothing massage. One bedroom is at the top of the steep dovecot stair, three are in the house, and the cellar suite, off the garden, is stunning. As for dinner, don’t miss it: Christian is a fabulous chef.
