Welcome to Flavigny-sur-Ozerain, winner of the most beautiful village in Burgundy! This walled hilltop medieval village is perfectly preserved, and looks as it did in the middle ages. The town was the setting for the movie, “Chocolat” with Juliette Binoche & Johnny Depp.
Flavigny is a charming town with several restaurant options, 2 - 3 open for lunches, and usually one restaurant open for dinner. There is a small grocery store that is open every day except Mondays, a bakery with wonderful bread and pastries and a brasserie that serves locally brewed beer and light meals just a short walk outside the walls of town in an old farm building.
Stroll the narrow, curved streets, walk the ramparts, and listen to the church bells chime the hour.
Part of our house dates from the 17th century, and the rest is from the 18th century and is situated at the end of the main street in town, right on the ramparts of the village, overlooking a peaceful valley with cows, sheep and grapevines dotting the hillsides.
Les Remparts is a 3 bedroom, 3.5 bath house, is approx. 2200 square feet and sleeps 6.
The house was featured on the HGTV television series, House Hunters International Renovations, where our creation of two full bathrooms, a WC, and a brand new kitchen in 2013 was filmed. This renovation is documented on the show, which is episode 4 of the House Hunters International Renovation series. The episode is also available on NetFlix (search "House Hunters International RENNOVATIONS France) and on iTunes.
There is more information on my LaMaisonRemparts page, which I cannot type out because they remove it. Use the standard beginning and ending to the name above, and you should find more information about the house, along with a floor plan and more photos.
The walled village of Flavigny-sur-Ozerain dates from the 11th century, with most of the houses built in the 15th & 16th century. The winding streets are lined with hollyhock flowers all summer and you can enjoy exploring the ramparts walk.
There are four restaurants--one true "farm-to-table" restaurant is open for lunch only, a French restaurant usually open for lunch and dinner on the patio or inside, a cafe inside the Anise Factory in their courtyard that is open for lunch There is also a new beer brewery just outside of town that serves really nice beer locally brewed beer and snack plates.
This spacious house has beautiful meter-thick stone walls and was built in 1628 and 1775.
The house consists of the ground floor, with an airy lounge off the entry door, with a french door leading to stairs to the garden, a laundry room with a washer & dryer, a brand new bathroom with limestone tile, which includes a shower, toilet, sink and a sauna. On the ground floor there is also an eat-in, open plan kitchen (fridge, freezer, dishwasher, oven & induction cooktop) with a WC under the stairs and direct access to the garden. The Library Bedroom (bedroom 2) is also on the ground floor, with an en-suite bathroom with a rain shower, toilet and sink in an antique cabinet.
Then go up those curving stone steps in the kitchen to our Remparts Bedroom (bedroom 1) with a window seat opening on the view over the forest and valley, and a screened French door that overlooks the garden . This room has a WC with sink, and a washroom with a soaking tub/rain shower, and a sink in an antique cabinet.
This floor also has our “Convent Bedroom” (bedroom 3) which has as one wall doors sourced from a 19th Century Convent and a full height screened French door opening onto the garden. The Convent bedroom can be made up either as twin beds or as a queen sized bed. Guests in this second-floor bedroom may use the ground floor WC/sink under the stairway that is just outside their bedroom door, and will have as their private bathroom the full bathroom on the ground floor next to the sauna.
Our large, delightful garden is full of climbing roses, lilies, lavender and hollyhocks. There is a koi pond with a small bridge for peaceful contemplation, and tables and chairs for hors d’oeuvres and dinners al fresco!
There is a lovely covered pavilion in the garden, situated to take advantage of the view. Under the pavilion, enjoy sitting on the couches to enjoy coffee in the morning, or a glass of wine in the evening! The view over the rampart walls is unchanged since the middle ages—no modernity is visible!
In town is the famed Anis de Flavigny candy store, where the little licorice candies are created in an ancient abbey. They offer tours of their candy manufacturing operation and museum.
A 10 minute drive north takes you past the Flavigny Winery (tastings available) to the town of Veneray Les Laumes, with a large, well-stocked supermarket, a train station and many other shops and services. Twenty minutes away to the west is the medieval town of Semur-en-Auxois, with it’s beautiful stone towers and river and more shops, restaurants and grocery stores.
Flavigny is a 3 hour drive from Paris or the airport, and is 25 minutes away from a TGV High-speed train station which can whisk you into Paris in one hour!
Flavigny is ideally located about an hour’s drive away from the charming cities of Dijon, and Beaune, and is within an hour’s drive of the Champagne and Chablis wine areas, and an hour and 15 minutes away from Côte de Nuits, and Côte de Beaune wine regions.

Everything worked out better that we could have thought possible. The house was lovely and the bedrooms large and well layer out. The kitchen was very well supplied and easy to prepare meals in. The outdoor space was lovely and the view really enchanting.
We really enjoyed our times with the hosts where were too short.
We will definitely add this stay to our future plans.

The home in Flavigny is beautifully reconstructed and decorated. There is a very well equipped kitchen, comfortable bedrooms and baths and a lovely garden overlooking the countryside. It was very spacious for two couples with a koi pond as a bonus. We enjoyed feeding the fish!
The location made it possible to explore the surrounding area . A car is a necessity. The village is wonderful with several good restaurants and of course the Anis factory of which it is renowned. We loved every minute and we’re sorry to have our trip end.
5.0 / 10.0·Aug 2021
This charming 17th century masonry was the perfect location for a relaxing vacation apart from mass tourism. We enjoyed the wonderful house with its garden and spectacular view which is in fact a sight on its own. Besides it was perfectly quiet during night hours which we found refreshing after spending days with checking all the sights around Flavigny, Communication with the landlady Carolyn was always smooth, helpful and very sympathetic! We highly recommend this location for a trip to Burgundy and definitely would return for our next stay in this region of France!
