CHÂTEAU FOR RENT FOR 8 TO 12 PEOPLE - "Halfway between Paris and Lyon, Montagnerot is a 15th-century fortified farmhouse nestled in the heart of nature. A family home belonging to the Baudouin family since 1899, it now opens its doors to a handful of guests in search of an authentic place — perfect for reunions and creating precious memories with friends or family. Overlooking the landscapes of the Auxois, the house offers an exceptional, unobstructed view over the surrounding countryside and its 2-hectare garden dotted with a pond. Here, the silence is broken only by birdsong, the croaking of frogs, and the presence of beautiful Charolais cattle. A quiet luxury: space and calm. Montagnerot is a human-scale home, warm and comfortable in every season. In winter, the great medieval fireplaces invite conviviality and togetherness by the fire. In summer, life stretches out in the flower-filled garden, by the pool or over a game of pétanque, at the unhurried pace of long days. Among villages of character, the lakes of the Morvan, and local markets, Montagnerot is a true pause outside of time: a unique place to reconnect, slow down, and discover a quieter corner of Burgundy." - Sophie.
