Description

In a beautiful and natural setting, surrounded by four acres of glorious grounds, Château De Fremont is a charming château ideal for family holidays, a reunion with friends or a romantic wedding in an ideal location in rural Burgundy.

The château has a fascinating history; it was built in 1900 for a famous French actress by her lover, giving it a true air of romance. In World War II the château was sold to the Red Cross and it was used as a war hospital for French and British soldiers. In more recent times it has become a delightful and comfortable holiday home as well as an ideal setting for special celebrations. 

The vast four-acre estate is wonderful for walks through the gardens and forest, angling in the fishing pond, playing some of the giant garden games or tennis with the kids or simply relaxing by the heated swimming pool followed by a barbecue.

Inside, the interiors have been thoughtfully renovated with ample space on the ground floor to chat with friends in the living rooms, watch movies in the home cinema room or prepare meals in the semi-professional kitchen to serve by candlelight in the delightful Orangerie. Twelve bedrooms across the first and second floor offer room for up to 32 guests, including some quad rooms perfect for a gathering of extended family.

Furthermore, the recently renovated Coach House, available alongside the château, offers three pretty en suite bedrooms with balconies overlooking the countryside as well as two apartments, sleeping up to 22 guests in total. With its own private garden and terrace, it’s a great option for wedding parties or larger groups looking for extra space.

The hospitable yet discreet owners live on the grounds and can arrange a daily continental breakfast or simply deliver croissants and fresh bread to your kitchen every day. They have an extensive wine list that guests can buy from and wine-tastings can take place in the château or in local wineries across one of the world’s most famous wine regions.

Indeed, you are close to the vineyards of the Côte de Beaune and Côte d’Or where incredible wines can be sampled and landscapes of vineyards can be admired. Beaune, the wine capital of Burgundy, is just forty minutes away, as is the famous Route des Grands Crus, which will not only appeal to wine lovers but also those who appreciate fine cuisine with many Michelin starred establishments across the Beaune region.

Closer to home, the Roman town of Autun has a wonderful weekly market as well as many historical treasures to discover. Meanwhile, nature lovers will adore the Parc Naturel Régional du Morvan, a protected nature park where you can pursue all sorts of outdoor activities in an outstanding setting. /n Security deposit /n 2020/2021: €750.
