Wonderful base for spending time in a fascinating area
We spent three weeks in this wonderful cottage in July. The accommodation is spacious, clean and well-furnished, with a lovely garden. We ate all our meals outside - there's a covered spot if required. We also made good use of the table tennis and table football. Denis and Evelyne were very welcoming hosts, friendly and keen to help in any way needed. They kindly provided us with bikes so we could take advantage of the excellent cycle path along the nearby canal (Canal de Bourgogne).
The location is perfect for a wide range of activities. There are lots of sights within an easy drive, some of which we knew about before our visit, some discovered while there - MuséoParc Alésia, Flavigny-sur-Ozerain, Fontenay Abbey, Semur-en-Auxois, Parc de l'Auxois, Château de Bussy-Rabutin, Château de Châteauneuf, to name a few. There are plenty of family activities - swimming in Veranay-les-Laumes, swimming and boating at Lac de Pont, tree rope courses at Bierre-les-Semur, and a trip on a canal boat at Pont-Royal. Dijon is also easily accessible - we went by train.
The location is also good for food, drink and other provisions. There are good boulangeries in Venaray, plus a couple of good supermarkets (also in Semur). Lots of places to have coffee or eat out, including Le Macarena in Pouillenay (where we enjoyed an excellent dinner).
Many thanks to Denis and Evelyne for helping us have a fantastic holiday.
