Ancient Water Mill in Medieval Village-10% OFF last open slot : June 29-July 21

Enjoy historic Burgundy: its castles, abbeys, the Burgundy Wine Route and its gastronomy; Take a day trip to Paris as it is just an hour train trip away. The Moulin Vert is located below the granite ramparts and towers of the fairy tale like town Semur en Auxois, on the banks of the winding Armancon River. This former water mill from the 17th century has been lovingly restored by my husband, Jean Jacques and I. We have used art deco furnishings and light fixtures, family heirlooms, stain glass windows, oak beams, local stone and handmade tile and original art making the house full of character and charm. Relax on the terrace or on the private island and soak up the gorgeous views of the river. The island, just a few steps across a bridge has many weeping willows and a waterfall; a perfect spot for reading. If you are a nature lover you will enjoy the daily visits from the mother duck and her ducklings and if you are up at daybreak you may see the large grey heron fishing in front of the mill. King fishers dart up and down the river and one year we had a water chicken (poule d’eau) build its nest right in front of our terrace. The luxuriant garden and island are nestled among many weeping willow trees and makes a lovely setting for a romantic river retreat. Our home is in fact in town, just a ten minute walk from the historic town center. Walk to town along the river and buy your fresh bread and croissants from the local baker-(I eat half the warm baguette before I make it home!) Stroll along the medieval pedestrian streets and visit the Collegiale (a step down from being a Cathedral) restored by the famous architect, Violet le Duc. (who also restored Notre Dame in Paris). Sunday morning visit the market in town and taste the local produce. Our house makes a great home base for visiting the many sights of Burgundy…The Abbey of Fontenay, Dijon, Vezelay, Flavigny, Chablis, Epoisse, Cluny, Beaunne, the many wineries on the famous wine route and the many castles of Burgundy. You may also use it as base to visit Paris which is just an hour train trip (Train station is in Montbard).
