Manoir Des Chasseurs

In the heart of rural Burgundy, where Charolais cattle graze in nearby fields, this charming 18th-century manor house has stunning views over the surrounding hills and woods of the Parc Naturel Régional du Morvan.

Originally built as a hunting lodge, it was modified in the early twentieth century to become a summer residence for the long-standing owners in Dijon. The most recent owners have restored this historical residence with great sensitivity, respecting the wonderful handicraft across the manoir, furnishing the home with period pieces and also featuring calming pieces of masters and contemporary art.  What they have created is a characterful and graceful place from which to discover this stunning part of Burgundy.

With seven first-floor bedrooms, up to 12 guests can enjoy Manoir des Chasseurs; there is ample space across the vast ground floor with a choice of two living areas, a dining room and fully-equipped kitchen with modern features. The grand salon offers a relaxing place to unwind by the open-fire whilst the gentleman’s salon is a characterful room perfect for long evenings chatting, playing cards and enjoying excellent local wine. There’s also a romantic library with a fireplace and upstairs a sweet little living room with a sofa looking over the beautiful views from the house.

Outside you are greeted with an inviting swimming pool alongside a laid-back al-fresco dining area, perfect for long lunches with loved ones. Younger members of the family will love the rustic old farmhouse where you will find table-tennis, a trampoline and some other outdoor games.

Here you are in the heart of the rural Parc Naturel Régional du Morvan, a paradise for hikers and cyclists with trails crossing woodlands, hills, streams and hidden villages as well water-based activities such as rafting, canoeing, sailing and swimming along the park’s rivers and lakes. Despite this remote location, it’s only half-an-hour from the fascinating Roman town of Autun where you can discover its historical treasures or pick up some fine local produce at one of the weekly markets.

The spectacular Burgundy wine region is within easy reach from beautiful Beaune to historic Dijon. Follow the wine road, Route des Grands Crus, and discover little villages such as Pommard and Meursault alongside idyllic vineyards where you can sample wines from the Côte de Nuits and Côte de Beaune regions.
