We enjoy biking, hiking, gardening, wine tasting, fine dining, learning the French language, and immersing ourselves in the French culture and lifestyle.

We fell in love with Semur-en-Axois and spend as much time as we can there each year refining the property and garden. We also have been making attempts at coaxing some drinkable wine from our small vineyard.

Returning to the same beautiful location during different seasons we have found builds more vivid memories and relationships which nurtures us during our busy city lives in San Francisco the rest of the year.

We also donate a portion of the rental fee to the "Friends of Semur" Association dedicated to historical preservation, restoration, and promotion of local Arts and Culture. We are proud to have been part of the restoration of statuary in the corner niches seen throughout the town.

We have traveled the world, and when we stumbled upon this hidden treasure of a charming, lively little town, we had to be part of it. It is incredibly peaceful there.

We love harvesting and enjoying the seasonal fruit from the orchard, as we know you will, too.

The town is about an hour east of Paris by nonstop TGV, easy to get to and smack dab in the center of the Burgundy wine and cheese making region.

The house is located at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac that offers both peaceful tranquility and easy access to the town center.

The entire town is an historic monument status and yet still retains a vibrant local culture with modern amenities and restaurants open all year.

Once you visit this enchanting, tranquil, and friendly town, you will understand how we feel.

This house has both the feel of a French country farmhouse and pied-a-terre in town. Children's laughter echoes down from the primary school up on the ramparts above, punctuated by lovely birdsong and the busy ducks on the lazy river below.

The views from our property are some of the most photographed scenes in all of Burgundy. The visual beauty is stunning and inexhaustible!

A few steps along the river brings you to our cloistered vineyard, fruit orchard and garden, where you can enjoy quiet meals from our patio with stunning tower views.

During the summer months, there are weekly festivals in town as well as wine events at local wineries in the fall. The town has an historic Italianate Theatre, which hosts musical concerts and other events throughout the year.

The town is well situated for wine and cheese tasting day trips, and there is huge freshwater lake and beach nearby for swimming and boating.

You may want to hang out in the local cafe in town and soak up the ambiance of the local culture, take in a current run film at the local movie theatre, or rent bikes to explore ancient ruins and ride along the famous canals of Burgundy at Motbard. During the summer months, there is even a bike rental shop that will deliver your bike to our doorstep!

The Abby of Fontenay, also classified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site like the entire town of Semur, is just a 30 minute car ride though the lush, rolling farmlands surrounding the area. There are many nearby historical sites, and points of interest to visit, including the Forges of Buffon, Vezelay Abby, the interactive museum of Alesia, Chateau Neuf, the cave paintings at D'Arcy sur Cure, the wine center of Beaune, the historic city of Dijon, and the village of Flavigny, where the famous anise mints are made and the movie "Chocolat" was filmed.

Whatever your unique taste, this town has much to offer.
