This charming manor house and park nestles on the edge of the quiet village of Cry-sur-Armancon, with its beautiful church, bridge and tree lined river which borders the park. It really is a paradise for both adults and children.
The whole region is renowned not only for its food and wine but also for its fascinating history with its beautiful chateaux, abbeys and fortified towns. From La Maison du Chateau you are within easy driving distance of the ancient towns of Auxerre, Avallon, Dijon, Noyers, Saulieu, Vezelay, and even Beaune and Autun. The Abbeys of Fontenay and Pontigny, the magnificent chateaux of Ancy-le-Franc, Epoisses and Tanlay, to mention a few. The Forges de Buffon, the wine town of Chablis, the spectacular fortified town of Semur-en-Auxois, and the charming hill top village of Flavigny-sur-Ozerain (where the film 'Chocolat' was made) are all within forty minutes. There are a surprising number of treasures hidden away in this wonderfully peaceful and unspoilt area.
