Just 10 minutes from the A5 highway exit and 45 minutes from Troyes, this charming stone property—nestled in the heart of a natural setting (river, woods, greenery)—is a true haven of peace offering an incredible escape from everyday life. Alexandre, a “Meilleur Ouvrier de France” chocolatier and confectioner, will share his expertise with you during workshops or pastry and chocolate-making classes in his on-site kitchen (conditions and information available from the owners). Nearby, you’ll find a gourmet grocery store with regional products in the village; you can also stop by the Renoir Museum in Essoyes, visit Champagne cellars, take a stroll along the shores of the Forêt d’Orient Lakes, or spend a day at the Nigloland amusement park.
