Château de Châtillon-en-Bazois
Overview
The château de Châtillon-en-Bazois, historical and familial home, is a hidden estate in Burgundy, surrounded by the Nivernais Canal and the Aron River, in a preserved and undulating countryside.
At two and a half hours from Paris only, among the beauty of this soft and wild landscape, one can still experience a sense of confidentiality and conviviality that characterizes the authentic French ‘Art de Vivre’.
Like a jewel in its crown, the castle, listed as a historical monument, is surrounded by parks, gardens, water mirrors and a private canal, all labeled French Remarkable Gardens.
Ideally situated at the edge of the Morvan, it is delimited by Vezelay, listed World Heritage by UNESCO, and Beaune and its infamous wines.
Nothing has been made on a commercial purpose. The château is an authentic family home where one lives in complete intimacy surrounded by period style reflecting the XVIIth and XVIIIth centuries French ‘Art de Vivre’.
Heated swimming-pool, Turkish bath, pool tables, movie theatre, terraces, pub, park and gardens are at your disposal to live privileged and convivial moments.
Tables d'hôtes: at the pub, on the terraces, in the venetian dining-room, in the XVth century kitchen or in the hunting dining-room.
Tasting of Burgundy grands crus wines or Havana cigars.
Parking possibility to land helicopters on the premises.

*Visit of the different rooms of the château through a progressive diner
First encounter at the bar for the cocktail, next to the crackling fi re of the massive fi re place, while enjoying the appetizers.
Arrival in the convivial 15th century kitchen where the chefs are presenting the five different entrées buffet. The guests are savoring the starters while watching the meals in preparation. The meat is cooking on the ancient roasting spit of the fi re place, flames are refl ected in the authentic brass bands; the charm is guaranteed.
The finest silverware and the Murano glasses, bearing the arms of the château, are set for the main course now served to the guests in the majestic Hunting Room.
Then, a degustation of cheese by candlelight awaits the guests in the 13th century cellar.
The desserts are presented on the sumptuous purple marble table of the refined and luxurious Italian Dining Room under its imposing chandelier. It seems like travelling in the middle of an 18th century picture.
Finally, the three living-rooms await the guests for a coffee, liquor, and maybe a cigar in the French Library around the billiard table, or for an herbal tea in the distinguished Music room.
