Chosen as a featured home on the Fine Living Channel television series "Around the World in 80 Homes", Our property, La Treille, is a character village townhouse built in the 18th and 19th centuries. It retains original features such as an interior stone wall and exposed beams on the ground floor and in the renovated grenier (attic).
The house is tastefully furnished with a combination of period antiques and new furniture, with great attention to providing comfortable surroundings for our guests. The master bedroom is furnished with a queen-size bed and period antiques; the second bedroom has an antique armoire and double-size bed; and the third bedroom has two single beds and antique dresser. The interior of the house is light and airy throughout.
Ancy-le-Franc is listed as one of the most beautiful villages in Burgundy. A stay here enables you to experience rural village life to its fullest. The town has two boulangeries, two butchers, two banks, a newsstand, a corner market, pharmacy, physician's office, hotel with restaurant, and a church. The magnificent Renaissance Chateau Ancy-le-Franc is just around the corner from our front door. The Canal de Bourgogne also borders the village.
If you enjoy wine, Ancy-le-Franc is the ideal base to explore the famed vineyards of Burgundy, including Chablis to the north, and the Cote d'Or to the south. If you like castles, the chateaux of Burgundy are every bit as enchanting as their better-known counterparts in the Loire.
Within an easy drive are the chateaux of Tanlay, Bussy-Rabutin, Epoisses, Chateauneuf, Bourbilly, Bazoches and Commarin. Also nearby is the Abbey de Fontenay near Montbard, the Basilique Ste. Madeleine in the charming town of Veselay, and the medieval villages of Noyers and Flavigny (where the movie Chocolat was filmed).
Good food is also a hallmark of the region. Choose one of the many excellent, cozy restaurants of the area, or go for the grander dining experience at a Michelin-rated establishment. Either way, you will get meals to remember. |
