An authentic barn conversion offering comfort, peace and tranquility in this small village nestling deep in the countryside of the Cote d'Or. Light, bright accommodation furnished to the owners high standards, sleeps up to 5 adults in an elegant double room with ample storage coordinating furniture and an en-suite shower room, a spacious twin room with great views, storage and an en-suite shower room, and a single bedroom with a WC and basin. A staircase leads downstairs to the open plan living area with fully fitted kitchen, dining for 6 and comfortable lounge area with TV and DVD player. 2 sets of French doors open onto a wooden decking terrace with outside dining for 6 and BBQ. The lower garden terrace has sun loungers ready to enjoy the views of the village below. Discover all that Burgundy has to offer with sites and restaurants a short drive away.


There is much to see and do in this part of France. Within 15 minutes drive is the beautiful Flavigny-sur-Ouzerain, the Roman ruins at Alesia and its new visitor centre. The Château of Bussy Rabutin, the source of the Seine river, great for picnics, and Venarey les Laumes for your everyday needs are all close by. Within 30 minutes are Semur en Auxois, Montbard with fabulous swimming pool complex, The Parc d'Auxois (zoo and adventure park) and the 13C world famous Abbaye de Fontenay. Further a field is historic Dijon, Beaune and Nigloland (theme park). Nearly everyday of the week there are local markets, and no visit to Burgundy would be complete without a wine tasting. A perfect base for exploring the region.

The owners offer a shopping service to make your arrival pain free, and home cooked meals are available made to order by the owner. Ask about available choices. Also bespoke menus can be created by prior arrangement for you and your family.

Beautiful stay!
We had a lovely stay at the Barn. The house is beautiful and perfectly appointed for all your needs. As it was cold outside, we especially loved the wood burning stove! Beautiful walks and countryside in the area. Sharon is so kind and helpful - she even helped us to find what we needed for our Thanksgiving holiday celebration - not so easy to find all the proper ingredients in France - and lent us some additional cookware from her own kitchen. We also loved the bread delivery in the morning, so fun!! I do not hesitate to recommend a stay here, it’s wonderful. Thank you!

Fantastic house and exceptional host
My husband, me and my and in-laws stayed at The Barn for a week and had a great time. Sharon is a lovely host. She lives next door and is warm and generous without ever being intrusive. Her cooking is delicious and a great value so definitely take advantage of her offer to provide meals for your group. She also helped us find a wine for we wanted to go on and was very gracious when I broke a dish. The house is well appointed with everything you could need and a lot of nice-to-haves, like a roll of paper towels, Tupperware for refrigerator leftovers, plastic wrap and foil and hotel-size toiletries in each bathroom. The bed was comfortable and the magical duvet was like sleeping under a cloud. The outdoor space is nice, too. We really enjoyed al fresco dining every night. Ned, their cat, is super friendly and it was the highlight of each day when he came by for a cuddle and to say hi. We had a fantastic time and there is nothing bad to say about the visit, the house, the location or our hosts. We had a wonderful time. One tip to naive travelers like us: there is another Frolois near Nancy. Make sure you don’t buy train tickets to the wrong town like we did!!!! (Go to Frôlois, not Frolois!!!)

Glorious!
We loved our stay in the charming Barn in Frolois! The property is even better than described--clean, comfortable, bright and accommodating, with lovely views of the countryside and an adjacent, ancient village to explore. We woke to the sounds of birds and farm animals in the morning. Sharon is a wonderful hostess, providing delicious meals and croissants if requested, as well as useful tips for exploring the area. I was especially grateful for the use of her road atlas, as we ventured out to see the Abbaye de Fontenay, Vezelay, Dijon, Beaune and many other small villages. This is a wonderful part of the world, and the Barn is a perfect place to begin exploring! Merci, Sharon!

Renovated Barn in Charming Area of Burgundy
The Barn was a special place to stay in Burgundy. The area is a treasure trove of towns to visit, roads to travel and attractions to see and experience. We found the location to be centrally located and an easy drive to Dijon, Beaune and, even though Sharon thought we were crazy, only a 3 hour drive to Geneva! We relaxed and were able to spend our days driving through the scenic countryside on our way to many places of interest. It is imperative to have a car, although we turned ours in prior to boarding our train in Dijon to Paris. Our family found the week to be relaxing and more than we could have imagined. The Barn was a comfortable home for us and we shared many good times and created many memories while it was our home. Sharon, we will be back!

paradise in burgundy
the first thing you should know is that Sharon is an Amazing hostess. we arrived to a fresh loaf of bread, local honey, etc. the house itself is very cozy, even in November. it is kept in perfect condition and there are toys for children, games for everyone, movies if you wish. it's also located in a great area not far from anywhere. honestly we mostly just relaxed there and enjoyed the beauty that is burgundy. you will not find a better deal, trust me I did all the combing through websites for you.

About the host

Hosted by Sharon MEGRET

Host profile image
Sharon and Gregoire Megret have been living in Burgundy for many years and undertaken several renovation projects. They are proud to offer The Barn (one of three holiday properties they own) for holiday accommodation. Living and working in Burgundy for many years along with their two daughters.

Why they chose this property

We feel this property offers everything needed for a comfortable 'Home away from home' holiday. When we are looking for a holiday house to use for our family, we look for value for money and above all comfort, and we believe this offers both. Frolois is a superb base for exploring the region and peaceful enough for relaxing and enjoying the view.

What makes this property unique

We feel The Barn offers stylish interiors and comfort without costing the earth. This peaceful village has picturesque charm with stunning views. Hours can be spent taking in the beautiful surroundings.
