Come Experience Burgundy! Immerse yourself in the warmth and charm of this beautiful region of France. Our vacation rental is a two-bedroom, three-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 bedrooms, each with en-suite bathrooms. 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 lower bedroom has two twin beds that can be brought together to form a king-sized bed, as well as a private bathroom with a shower. The lower bedroom opens onto the house's patio, giving it the most intimate access to the riverbanks.

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!

Perfect spot
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!

Unique and quiet location
Location right at the riverbank is gorgeous. Dinner right next to the river was very nice. Often sat there until the bats came out. There was a starter pack of groceries waiting for us, which was great. Didn't have to go on a shopping spree on the day of our arrival. The separate downstairs bedroom is not a perfect scenario for a family with smaller kids, since you are quite "detached". But there is a sleeping couch in the living room, so we could stay in the "main house" together. Bathroom and kitchen were well equipped.

De ligging van het huis is goed. Rustig. Het dorpje is mooi en gezellig. Rond het huis veel terrasjes. Het huis zelf heeft een upgrade nodig. Wij vonden het niet schoon genoeg en stoffig. Het bed boven is zeker niet queensize. Te smal voor ons. In de keuken veel benodigheden. De woonkamer was fijn. Geen horren en te licht in de slaapkamer en in de woonkamer als je daar slaapt. We waren vooral buiten, omdat het prachtig weer was.

Perfect little cottage
There are not enough superlatives to describe how wonderful it is to stay in this quintessentially French gite. This is our second stay here (four weeks last fall and two over Christmas this year) and we are already planning on coming back. The house itself has everything one needs to be comfortable: modern appliances, homey fireplace, good heating system, warm, well-appointed kitchen, welcoming beds (we only used the upstairs bedroom this time) and house managers who are very responsive. To really appreciate what you are getting when you rent this property you have to look beyond the four walls of the house. Out of every window is the cutest view ever. The cul de sac is quiet and set back from the road. La Minime, a special, affordable restaurant is a 3-minute walk. Semur-en-Auxois, a ten minute walk, has the feel of a small village but has everything you would want: wine shop, boulangerie, epicierie, specialty boucherie, fun little bistros and a great Sunday market. Dijon and Beaune, both filled with eye-popping sights and culinary finds are only 50 minutes away. The famous wine villages (think Meursault, Pommard, Santenay, Aloxe Corton and more) beyond Beaune are worth a visit. We give our highest recommendations to the little cottage at 6 Impasse Caron. If you stay here you will love it.

About the host

Hosted by Jerry Simmons

Host profile image
Jerry and Kathy are natives of San Diego who love to travel. Kathy loves it so much that she was a flight attendant for 33 years! In all their travels, they have never found a place with more warmth and old-world charm than the little town of Semur-en-Auxois in Burgundy. The locals have welcomed them, as they do all their guests, to Semur. Kathy and Jerry (and their son Tim and their daughter, Brooke, who manages the rental) will be thrilled to welcome you to their house.

Why they chose this property

Kathy and Jerry's journey toward their vacation rental can be summed up in one word: serendipity. They happened to find Semur and fell in love with it immediately; they happened to come across a real estate agent who happened to have a spectacular riverfront house available, and the owners happened to be home and were willing to give them a tour. Everyone they met was so helpful and kind, and the house was so special, that Kath & Jer knew they had to make a permanent place there for themselves. Soon afterward, they also realized that Semur is such a hidden treasure that they had to share it with others.

What makes this property unique

There is something magic in the air here. Maybe it's the background soundtrack provided by the birds and the ducks; maybe it's the hourly soft chime of the cathedral or the reflection of the rampart towers in the river; maybe it's the warm, flower-fragrant spring and summer air breezing through the open balcony doors; maybe it's simply the warmth and welcoming nature of the people of Semur. There's something about this house and this place that relaxes the muscles and gently twists the corners of the mouth upward. It's easy to find yourself smiling and sighing happily even though all you've done is sit down in the unique and sunny Salon.

And that's just while you're actually at the house. Semur is in the happy position of being right in the middle of Burgundy wine country: it's almost exactly equidistant from the wine-producing regions of Chablis and Beaune. As for the food, welcome to the heart of gastronomic France, where you can enjoy superb food at a tiny auberge for a few Euros, or a meal of ambrosia at a three-star Michelin restaurant. Add to that historical sites ranging from Roman ruins to chateaux, and Semur is an ideal vacation spot for almost any kind of vacation.
