Hotels
There
are hotels full of character, of all categories, from one-star
tourist hotels and a warm welcome to luxury four stars hotels.
You'll find a special jewel occasionally
situated in a converted château or former abbey, where both
the cuisine and the quality of accommodation are in the best
Burgundian tradition.
Country gîtes
If
you are looking for a holiday with a difference in Burgundy,
why don’t you rent a house (gîte) in the country? Rural gîtes
are holiday houses or flats offering self catering
accommodation in the country, in villages or small towns.
The gîtes are strictly controlled by the
National Federation of French Gîtes which awards them 1, 2, 3
or 4 ‘ears of wheat’ (épis) depending on such factors as
comfort, situation, fixtures and facilities.
A
gîte gives you the opportunity to enjoy an unspoiled
environment and the quiet tempo of country life as well as the
chance to meet and make friends with the villagers of
Burgundy.
More than 1,100 gîtes are at your disposal.
Early booking is recommended for the peak holiday seasons.
Holiday ideas The Burgundian are a very hospitable people,
come and visit them in the company of friends, for weekend
escapades or for a longer time. The choice of accommodation is
wide.
Camping-caravaning
Because
of its close contact with well-preserved nature,
camping-caravaning
constitutes an economical way of discovering the region.
Campsites are often located on the banks of
the numerous rivers or lakes Burgundy accounts for.
In a constant concern to keep improving their
comfort, some of them now also offer wooden mini-chalets or
bungalows for rent, and a certain number have signed the
national quality charter “Camping Qualité”.
Chambres d’hôtes (Bed and Breakfast)
A
warm and friendly welcome awaits you in these specially
converted country houses, farms and châteaux. Whether you plan
to stay overnight or for a longer period, you can be sure of
enjoying a quiet, family atmosphere (maximum 6 bedrooms) and
your hosts will be pleased to help you discover the delights
of the local countryside.
A copious breakfast is always included in the
price: an ideal opportunity for you to sample the local
produce and – who knows? - perhaps your hostess’s homebaked
bread and home-made jam, fancy bread (croissants etc.) or
pastries – not to forget the local cold meats. What a better
or more convivial way to start the day?
