On a visit to a small medieval market town called Arnay-le-Duc, a massive oak door opens onto a paved courtyard, to reveal a very different craftsman’s workshop called “Atelier de la Closerie”.

Along the coast
From the Atlantic ocean to the Mediterranean sea, the variations and contrasts along the coast lines are stunning. Soft sandy shores to striking cliff edges.

A visit to the Morvan
What a great summer we’ve had.
Most of the time has been spent in Burgundy, our only problem has been the lack of time to explore everything on the list we made.
I really enjoy Burgundy, however when visiting we all tend to privilege the vine yards and better known monuments.
And when doing so, we forget lesser known places such as the Morvan.The Morvan is a very wonderful place to visit, full of legends and contrasts, there is even a town called Avallon. The granite and limestone hills climb over 900 metres above sea level, there are very large forests with a mixture of pine and oak.
With lakes and streams everywhere, swimming in the fresh water is a must.We have included some photos of the market town Autun.
