Location: Beaune, Burgundy, France, Europe
Accommodations: Apartment, 2 Bedrooms, 1 Bath (Sleeps 4)
Le Relais du Vieux Beaune is a newly restored, bright, spacious, and luxuriously equipped two bedroom, one bathroom apartment in the heart of medieval Beaune.
Beaune is a lovely town of 20,000 people which is the epicentre of the winemaking culture in Burgundy.
Beaune's small size means that it is slow paced and relaxing, yet its vibrant wine culture means that it is packed with wonderful restaurants in all different price ranges, cafes, wine tasting opportunities, and a twice weekly open air market where you can purchase delectable fresh and seasonal food. The town is also extremely picturesque and remarkably well-preserved.
Le Relais du Vieux Beaune's location couldn't be better. It is on one of the oldest cobblestone streets of Beaune within the town's preserved medieval fortifications.
Le Relais du Vieux Beaune is located on the second floor (one floor up from the street) of a newly restored 18th century building with a private, shared courtyard set well back from the street. One of the town's best boulangerie's is just steps from the building's front door.
The apartment boasts a fully equipped kitchen with brand-new appliances including a microwave and dishwasher, a large bedroom with a queen-size bed, a living room with a flat screen TV and DVD player, and another bedroom with two double beds.
Antiques are throughout the house - lovely armoires and lots of charming decorative details that offset the moulded ceilings, wooden floors, and original marble fireplaces. Unlimited Wi-Fi internet connection is included in the rental price, and a crib and high chair are available free of charge upon request.
Beaune is surrounded by countless famous and quaint wine villages such as Pommard, Volnay, Meursault, Gevrey-Chambertin, and Pernand-Vergelesses, which makes for wonderful days of exploring the countryside and villages by foot, bike, or car.

Some words from our guests book:
"We thank you so much for this wonderful apartment you have - and share with travelers like us! We arrived very tired and found this to be such a welcoming "home" with such comfortable beds. We had the best nights' sleep in our week stay. The location could not be better and finding such a wonderful boulangerie just steps from the door was great. We hope to be back to stay in your apartment where you have thought of everything for your guests’ comfort."
Steve & Carol Kirson, South Carolina, USA
*****
"The Wednesday and especially the Saturday markets were fabulous and a great place to find a few delicacies (WONDERFUL cheeses and fruits and olives!) to enjoy with your wine at Le Relais. May all who read these words find in Bourgogne the grace, excellence and hospitality that we have experienced here!"
Toni London & Bruce Batten, Eagle River, Alaska, USA

*****
"We have had a wonderful three weeks here in Burgundy - the first two in your gite in Villers-la-Faye and the last here in Beaune. We would like to thank you and Franck for your wonderful hospitality and the special Burgundy experiences you have shown us - particularly the Hospices de Beaune wine tasting. 50 wines tasted in one morning in ancient cellars - this tested even my stamina!"
Jenny & Alex Topher, Bagdad, Tasmania
