France

Welcome to your own castle in Burgundy, self-proclaimed "land of great art and good living!" You'll spend days exploring the towns and cities of the region, as well as enjoying leisure activities like wine tasting, hiking, or fishing. But you'll also be able to enjoy many of these coveted pleasures at your own chateau, which has a private golf course, swimming pool and tennis court along with hectares of gardens and terraces!

The castle is located near Voutenay sur Cure in Burgundy, just 2 hours drive from Paris. This is a small village with about 200 inhabitants, southwest of Auxerre (40km) and northwest of Avallon (13km) which is a town on a promontory, with wide streets and picturesque promenades. Here you can visit the 12th century church of St Lazare, the Tour de L'Horloge, and remains of ancient fortifications. Along the river Yonne, the once-fortified city of Auxerre presents one of the most beautiful urban landscapes in France. Sights to see include the gothic church of Saint-Pierre, the cathedral of Saint-Etienne with stain glass windows and crypt containing the fresco of Christ in Majesty.

This well-maintained, beautiful, romantic castle consists of a main building and different annexes. It is surrounded by a 14 hectare cultivated park. A stream called "La Cure" winds its way through the castle grounds. The land is enclosed and includes a private 9-hole golf course (par 68, driving range), a pavilion (with a fridge), and an asphalt tennis court.
