We decided to stay at this chambre d'hotes (bed and Breakfast) until Saturday. It's a site we very much recommend.
The hospitality is nonpareil. When we mentioned that we were looking forward to being able to cook potatoes again, she did just that. And gave us fruits, nuts, let us use her fridge as well as this incredible room with wood fireplace. This room is about 500 years old, but refurbished with great taste, the floor made of very large stones and the stone walls contrast with the modern lighting and the warmth of antique furniture. Fine dishes for us to use are housed in a massive armoire, while we devoured our jambon persille (parsley ham) and breton butter potatoes on a peasant table that used to welcome some 35 farm workers during grape harvest.
This work is done now by machine, but our hostess still enjoys taking care of her guests.
After a quick walk on a GR (Grand Randonee) trail close to our place, we explored the region by car, stopping in Autun and a few other small villages, commenting along the way about coming back here for a longer period of time. So much to see...
