Le Rosseau Cottage is on the edge of a village, just 14km east of Beaune, the wine-capital of Burgundy. The famous vineyards of the Côte d'Or are a short drive away.

Keen golfers will be pleased to know that Golf de Beaune Levernois is also close by.
Beaune, known as the wine-capital of Burgundy, is also famed for its gastronomy with some excellent places to eat in the town itself and surrounding villages. There is also a wonderful market on a Wednesday and Saturday morning which is not to be missed.
The 15th century Hospices de Beaune is one of France’s most significant historic buildings and worthy of a visit during your time in Beaune. Also spend time exploring the town’s enchanting lanes, charming shops and welcoming wine bars. Relax in the glorious Park Bouzaise and hire boats on the lovely lake in the summer.
The stunning vineyards and wine-villages of the Route des Grands Crus are also close by, perfect to explore by bike or car. Visit idyllic villages such as Pommard, Volnay, Puligny-Montrachet and Meursault, all within around 20-30km. Sample some of the best wines in Burgundy from Côte de Beaune and Côte de Nuits vineyards.
Chagny (30km) is another fantastic village with its three Michelin starred restaurant, Maison Lameloise and another great Farmer’s market on a Sunday morning. With the Canal du Centre passing through, it’s also a fantastic area for walking and cycling and there are some good fishing spots close by.
Other superb places to visit include the mustard houses of Dijon (45km), the historic town of Autun (63km) and Cluny (90km) with its world-famous abbey, a National Monument of France.
