About this property

Cozy N'est House in a historic courtyard garden, near the train station and downtown

  • Hello, welcome to Paille-en-Plume...
    We have carefully renovated and decorated this small house on the courtyard of a traditional building in the historic centre of Besançon, to make it a comfortable place, which welcomes you warmly, for a few days or longer. The residence is quiet, family-friendly. The gardened courtyard in front of our nest is for everyone's use, as well as its table and chairs. Do not hesitate to contact us, we are at your disposal and available if needed. Enjoy your stay with us! Etienne & Merril
    The Nid is composed of a kitchen-dining-living room with a wood stove (logs available), illuminated by 3 large windows, a cosy bedroom dressed in wood, with its double bed 140, its wardrobe and its small desk, and a bathroom with toilet and shower in waxed concrete.
    A 7-minute walk from the Besançon-Viotte train station by crossing the Glacis park, and 5 minutes from the Boucle (the heart of the city) by crossing the Battant bridge, the place offers tranquility close to transport, tourist and sports visits, and shops (restaurants, craft beer bar and local absinthes, bulk supermarket, bakery and pharmacy in the street). By car, the free Battant car park is 3 minutes walk.

A lovely appartement, cosy is the exact word to describe it! The stove is great, we should have made more use of it. It is very well designed, the kitchen area has everything to hand and there is plenty of storage space in the bedroom. The kitchen is well equipped and everything is easy to use. Our host was very helpful for restaurants and other recommendations for the city.

El apartamento es acogedor y silencioso. Está acondicionado con muy buen gusto y con muchos detalles útiles. Se encuentra situado en el centro histórico de la ciudad y se puede visitar todo a pie o en transporte público. Los dueños, Merril y Etienne, son muy atentos y simpáticos. Hemos pasado dos semanas magníficas en Besançon.

Gemütliche Wohnung in zentraler Lage

Wir hatten einen sehr schönen Aufenthalt in Besancon!Die Wohnung bietet alles was man braucht und ist so zentral gelegen das man zu Fuß schnell in der Innenstadt ist. Geparkt werden kann auf einem kostenlosen Parkplatz 2min von der Ferienwohnung.Durch die Lage im Hinterhof hat man einen Rückzugsort vom Trubel in der Stadt.Die Küche ist gut ausgestattet und es gab sogar ein paar Lebensmittel sowie viele Tipps der Gastgeber zur Ankunft.Die Wohnung ist gemütlich eingetrichtet sodass man sich direkt wohlfühlt. Durch die dicken Mauern hat man es auch im Sommer angenehm kühl.Einziger temporärer Minuspunkt war, dass die Spühlmaschine gerade defekt war, dies soll aber bald repartiert werden.Wir kommen gerne wieder : )

Idéal à tout point de vue

Séjour trop court faire le tour de cette belle ville, le logement de Merrill et Étienne était très bien situé pour visiter Besançon. Beaucoup de balades pittoresques et une architecture remarquablement conservée et le soir un logement chaleureux et confortable pour se reposer.

Séjour de charme

J'ai été magnifiquement accueillie par Merril, qui a restauré avec professionnalisme et beaucoup de goût cet espace historique de Besançon. Je reviendrai avec plaisir en hiver profiter de soirées aux coins du feu. Merci pour votre hospitalité

Tolle Wohnung mit super Gastgebern

Schön. Alles hat perfekt gepasst und geklappt. Merril und Etienne haben uns sehr freundlich empfangen und waren hilfsbereit bei allen Fragen und Anliegen. So liebevoll waren wir noch nie betreut.Die Wohnung ist toll und liegt super. Alles wichtige gibt's dort, liebevoll gemacht. Einen Parkplatz fand man auf dem öffentlichen Parkplatz um die Ecke (100m) problemlos. Herzlichen Dank den beiden für die schöne Woche.
