‘La Petite Maison & Vineyard’ - This charming ‘petite maison & vineyard’ is idyllically located adjacent to the river Armancon and below the town ramparts of Semur en Auxois, in the Ducal region of Burgundy, France. ‘La petite maison' has been sympathetically decorated and furnished with French antiques. ‘The vineyard' and gardens run along the river boasting magnificent views. Fruits from the orchard are plentiful in the summer for your enjoyment. A two minute walk across the bridge and up the stone steps and you could lounge in the medieval town square sipping a cup of coffee or enjoying a glass of wine as you watch the people go by.
