Come Experience Burgundy! Immerse yourself in the warmth and charm of this beautiful region of France. Our vacation rental is a one-bedroom, two-bathroom house/cottage in the beautiful Medieval town of Semur-en-Auxois, just an hour's train ride from Paris. The house is perfect for a small family or two couples traveling together. It has been recently renovated in a French country style, has spectacular views of the town ramparts, and is located on the north bank of the river Armancon, which winds its way through Semur.
Semur-en-Auxois is simultaneously a modern, thriving community and a friendly, welcoming town steeped in history and culture. The house is located just a few minutes' walk from the center of town, yet its location is also private and tranquil.
The house has two en-suite bedrooms. One bedroom is upstairs, with a stunning view of the ramparts, and one is downstairs at river level, with its own private entrance. The upper bedroom has wood floors, vaulted ceilings, a queen-sized bed, two seating areas, a private bathroom with shower, and a private balcony. The salon has a double sofa bed, and there is an additional bathroom on the main level.
Our rental house in Semur is the perfect retreat. Use it as a home base for exploration of the surrounding vineyards, countryside, and historical sights, or just curl up in the salon with a glass of wine and read a book to the sound of the birds and ducks.
We have detailed information and many, many more pictures available at our website (including a virtual tour) -- the link is provided below. Please visit us, and when you make an inquiry, mention that you found us through VRBO. Thank you!

As wonderful as the photos of this house might be, they simply cannot do justice to the exquisite beauty of this location. It's right on a tranquil river that runs below the medieval ramparts of this quaint Burgundian country town. The house is meticulously maintained, and there are five separate little terraces or balconies where you can sit and gaze at the scenery from slightly different angles -- off the main bedroom, two down below the guest room, just before the house, or atop a little set of stone steps. The town of Semur is wonderful (though small, so don't expect a million dining options) and well-placed for many easy day trips of 20-60 minutes (Vezelay for a medieval pilgrimage basilica; Montbard to bike ride along the Burgundy Canal; Flavigny-sur-Ozerain for another quaint village; and many others). An idyllic spot!

This place is exactly as advertised and the experience is of living in an old French house in a village where time passes very slowly. The living room has windows all around and a lovely place to just sit and enjoy listening to the birds and watching the river meander by. The bedroom has a nice balcony and a window that overlooks the river. Bathroom is good as is the shower. The kitchen has everything you need to cook. The welcome basket and cheese was a lovely touch. We picked up everything for breakfast at the local boulangerie and the Intermarche store had everything else. There are some amazing restaurants in town as well.
Note that you do have to climb up a few steps to get to the bedroom so this may be a problem if you have mobility issues. The village itself is something out of a fairytale. Walk across the bridge next to the house, turn right, and walk to the end for the best view of Semur.

This is a slice of wilderness (rambling pink granite terraces flowing gently into the river) with views that are as varied as they are private. It really is as you imagine from the descriptions but better, blended with your own experiences. The decor inside is functional if a little dated (clearly a work in progress) but anyone can see and enjoy its enormous potential. The sort of house that everyone who stays there can project their own ideas on because the location (its connection to Semur) and setting (that slice of wilderness) are so strong.

What a lovely little place!! This spot was just perfect for a girls trip getaway. The town is adorable and all the locals were very kind and patient with our poor French. The house itself is soooo cute and cozy with amazing views from each window. Had everything we could have needed. Laundry and dryer all worked great. Hot water and good water pressure. It is a very special place and was perfect for us. I will note, because it wasn’t totally clear to me from the listing, that the bedroom with the twin beds is accessed from the exterior of the house, so you have to use the outside stairs to get to the bedroom from the rest of the house. This wasn’t a problem for us though. We loved our time here!
