The Chateau is just a stones throw from the famous village of Chablis where there is a lively market every Sunday morning. We can organise free wine tasting for you and obviously give you the best tips on where to buy. 'On site' tasting is also possible.
A 45min drive takes you to Aube region where the Champagne grapes are grown. Here you can taste for free and take guided tours of the vineyards. The cost of a good Champagne is around 15 euros a bottle! Local reds are great too. Burgundy also boasts some of the best cheese in France and there is nothing more enjoyable than sitting on the side of the Burgundy canal with some fresh bread, cheese and a bottle of local wine. Restaurants offer a wide variety to suit all, but will of course serve up local specialities .. escargots, if you wish, definitely the best snails in France!
Other activities include rock climbing, canoeing, horse riding and bowling.
Auxerre is 20mins drive with its fantastic renaissance architecture and good shops.
