This is a special opportunity to stay in a family chateau in Franche-Comte, in Dole, in the renowned triangle of Beaune and Dijon, the heart of the burgundy and Jura wines.
From August 1- to November 1st 2017
Renowned for its art, architecture, landscapes, vineyards and villages to visit. The Gustave Courbet painting sites and three Unesco sites are 20 mn away. We will either assist you as cook or guide in the country or city or you can rent the chateau and travel as desired.
We are the owners and stay in a separate side of the chateau while it is rented. The chateau has much to offer as its cultural heritage goes back to the 14th century in Marie Christine's family and is registered as a Historical Monument.
As artists we have a background in art history and can tell you about the sites and familiarize you with the history as well.
