We had an amazing 2 night stay at the chateau in the count suite, which I would highly recommend you book although any accommodations here looked beautiful. From the second we were greeted by the staff, Léa and Léonnie, and they were nothing but kind and helpful.
We took The Great Wine Tasting tour and it was amazing. Our guide Louisiane was so much fun and informative. She taught us so much about the Burgandy region and the Chateau's wines - which were all delicious and so were the pairings. We also played a really fun game and toured the grounds - Louisiane took her time with us and made it feel like we were hanging out with a friend.
Breakfast is the one meal they do serve (as it is a bed and breakfast) and it is incredible. The owner Anne serves and the spread is unbelievable. The soft boil egg was one of the best I've ever had! Anne would come and talk with us and was so kind with her time! Even when just myself and my friend were the only two people attending breakfast, Anne still put out this entire spread for us.
When we weren't roaming the grounds or wine tasting, we hung out by pool all day with a fantastic bottle of wine from the wine shop. The grounds are just unbelievably peaceful and quiet. It's truly one of the most beautiful places I've ever visited.
It's a very easy journey directly from Paris to the city of Macon and a short taxi ride from there. The staff was very helpful in giving us the information needed to book a taxi and each taxi was prompt and on time for us. As some reviews mentioned, this is only a bed and breakfast, so you need to take care of other meals on your own. You can walk to a small market from the chateau - it has a wonderful selection of food like some meats and cheeses as well as fruits, crackers etc. If you're from out of the country like my friend and I, I'd suggest food shopping a little maybe before your journey there so you have snacks. Either way, it was very manageable to get whatever we needed.
As mentioned, our stay was just an absolute dream and we can not wait to come back!
