Romantic Home in Medieval Village Where 'Chocolat' was Filmed
Step back in time for a relaxing romantic retreat in an authentic medieval village unchanged for centuries. Situated in the Burgundy wine district, Flavigny Sur Ozerain was chosen as the site for the movie 'Chocolat' for it's old world charm and sense of timelessness. Previously an artist's loft, this barn has been converted into a simple yet surprisingly contemporary home, ancient on the exterior with all of the modern conveniences inside. Come stroll the quiet streets of the walled hilltop village, listen to the church bells mark the time, and experience a life before all of the hustle of today's rat race!
3 hours drive southeast of Paris(an hour and twenty minutes on the TGV!) and an hour northwest of Dijon, between Beaune and Chablis, this home can offer a serene escape or act as the perfect springboard to the delights of Burgundy and the Cote D'Or. With the Restaurant de L'Abbaye, La Grange, and the Creperie Les Ursulines right in town, one needn't leave the village's serenity, but with Alesia's ruins and fabulous restaurant Le Cheval Blanc, Semur en Auxois's vibrant medieval shopping district, the Abbaye Fontenay, and Saulieu nearby there are many temptations to explore.
Come explore the joy of life in the French countryside, and discover what you love most about this enchanting destination!

This hilltop warren of stone houses without any adjacent modern town is a step back in time. This home in the heart of it is ancient and modern at once. Steps from the bakery and two restaurants (reservations recommended) we enjoyed them all. Nearby towns offer many more. choices and the roman/Gaul site of Julius Caesar's victory subjugating Vercingatorix and all of Gaul in 54 BC. Alesia. You need a car but the driving is extraordinary in itself. Wonderful Hosts made us feel at home. Heartfelt thanks to them.
We very much enjoyed our stay in this authentic and rustic cottage in Flavigny. There was everything there which we could possibly need for a comfortable holiday. Flavigny itself is a beautiful village full of charm. However, there is not a huge amount to do when the weather is cold and wet as it was for us. Rather limited too for dining out unless you travel further afield. Our hosts were very friendly and welcoming and we thank them so much for letting us spend a relaxing week in their cadeau français.
Amazing property with so much character in a beautiful location. The owners were very helpful and hospitable, providing lots of useful information about the property and the local area.
We had a wonderful stay in Flavigny!
Thank you!
A l'image du magnifique village de Flavigny, le Cadeau français se veut authentique et accueillant. Mélange d'ancien et de rénové, le logement est spacieux et confortable.
La terrasse est tres agréable.
Petit bémol, la propreté semble en partie dépendre des occupants précédents, de même que les denrées que l'on laisse aux suivants. A l'image du jardin dont on profite peu.
L'ensemble est pour autant très positif et nous recommandons à tous ceux qui cherchent un hébergement de charme dans un des plus beaux villages de France.
Sehr schönes Objekt: mittelalterliches Steinhaus mit viel Aufwand und Liebe zum detail restauriert und eingerichtet. Dort findet man alles vor, was den Aufenthalt komfortabel und angenehm macht. Die Räumlichkeiten sind tatsächlich größer, als es auf den Bildern den Anschein macht. Lage ist mitten im Ort, trotzdem sehr ruhig. kann man absolut weiterempfehlen.
A frequent traveller this was easily one of the standout properties that I have ever stayed at. The location is wonderful and the home is picture perfect for some relaxation and a home base to tour the Bourgogne region.
For food aficionados- the kitchen is well laid out and fully stocked with all that you need in hardware and service
Dies war nun schon unser zweiter Aufenthalt hier und wir sind nach wie vor begeistert. Ort und Unterkunft sind Erholung pur - mit vielen Möglichkeiten der Entdeckung von Natur, Kultur, Geschichte und Gastfreundschaft. Das Ferienhaus ist der perfekte Ausgangspunkt dafür: Ankommen - wohlfühlen trifft es also.
A very much loved vacation home, that is for sure! With everything you need for a lovely stay for a couple in a beautiful village. We’ve rented this house before and it was a nice relaxing visit again. We recommend it!
Flavigny is a quaint medieval village, very quiet. The accommodation is as described, rustic charm.
The accommodation is very rustic and charming, beautiful garden and terrace to enjoy summer evenings. The owners did give us a pre warning that it may not be suitable for young kids (age 4) as there is an open loft and we need to watch the kids. So we didn’t leave them unsupervised. The kitchen is of high quality, very well stocked. The owners are very responsive to all questions and gave us detailed recommendations. It’s a bit tricky to drive to the property to offload bags with a bigger vehicle but we managed to park at a property nearby to do the packing and unpacking and then used the public parking lot to park our car which is 10 minutes away. Overall lovely stay, make sure to pack your mosquito spray in summer!
Das Haus ist der perfekte Ort um Erholung zu finden - und zwar vom ersten Moment an. Sehr liebevoll eingerichtet, mit allem, was benötigt wird, wird zugleich der Charakter von Flavigny aufgegriffen und fortgeführt. So klein der Ort ist, gibt es dort immer wieder Neues zu entdecken - wie auch in der bezaubernden Umgebung. Savoir vivre fällt hier leicht, und das fängt mit dem Haus selbst an.
Die Kommunikation mit den Gastgebern war ausgezeichnet - wir haben alles vorgefunden wie beschrieben und noch mehr. Die Unterkunft ist nicht nur komplett sondern großzügig ausgestattet. Wir würden jederzeit wiederkommen.
Thanks so much Mary Kate and Kirk! We have had a wonderful stay. Your home is so welcoming, it has a sense of peace and calm. This is our second visit and your home Just keeps getting better...everything was perfect! Cheers Eileen and Michael.
Flavigny is a delightful, small, quiet, picturesque place to spend a relaxing and introspective vacation with periodic sight seeing through sumptuous farm country where it appears almost anything is grown, including of course, the Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grap. Our vacation cottage was cozy and comfortable with great light from lots of east/west windows, thick stone walls that kept the cottage cool from the hot summer sun, all the conveniences and amenities that a person would want, a cozy deck above a private garden to enjoy morning coffee or an evening apéritif, and lots of room to spread out with private spaces to enjoy moments of personal privacy for yoga, reading, drawing, etc.
We so enjoyed our stay in this lovely cottage. Our dog loved the garden! Close to everything the village has to offer. Great kitchen and to die for bath.
