What inspired you to start the business?The dream of living in France.

Do you travel regularly to Europe? We live here all year round.

What do you enjoy most about running this kind of business? Exchanging views with people of differing nationalities from different walks of life. Notwithstanding cultural traditions, it always strikes us that most people have a common core of values, needs and aspirations. And humour!!

Do you have any funny/memorable/inspirational memories of the business to share with us?
When stripping the beds, from time to time we find a pair of knickers (both genders!) that have been left behind.  We take that as a good sign that people are relaxed and have enjoyed themselves!  Once we found a half used bottle of car engine oil under the bed……….??!!

Why should travellers consider staying at La Maison Chaudenay for their next holiday to France? Restful environment; comfortable pace of life in this area including driving; wine; cycling; Beaune; quality accommodation extensively stocked; friendly, helpful hosts – modest too!
