Castle Gîte
Located in the château’s characteristic section, left of the tower, this spacious gîte comfortably accommodates five guests. Want to come with a larger group? No problem! You can add an extra bedroom and host up to seven people, enjoying all that the château offers.
Farmhouse Gîte
Part of the old farm next to the château has been transformed into a cozy gîte. Situated along the lovely inner courtyard alongside the château, it features a comfortable living room and a fully equipped kitchen. From here, you'll enjoy a sweeping view over the green valley and the babbling Yonne River—perfect for relaxing and savoring that authentic French atmosphere.
Field Gîtes
In the field next to the château, one of the outbuildings has been converted into two comfortable gîtes. From the terraces, you have a wide and open view of the green meadows and rolling valley. These gîtes are ideal for families with children: you’ll be able to see the pool and play equipment directly, so while the little ones enjoy themselves, you can unwind in tranquility.
