Lovers of wine, food and sceneries, this is the place for you. During our stay at Corchanu, we enjoyed the breathtaking scenery going (and getting lost) through so many villages with character, climbing hills, and looking for snails. Once at Mr and Mrs le Kilt's house, enjoy the view of the wild orchards with a glass of white Burgundy, or at night the amazing stars with a wee cognac. Walk or cycle alongside the canal to Santenay to their gastronomic restaurant where you will feel a local within minutes of your arrival. Do not forget the market in Beaune to fill up your fridge with more cheeses and other local delicatessies. Do you now feel the French joie de vivre?!
