Les Poissonchats

And so I started sharing the beauty of this peaceful area, so truly off-world, on a more professional level with the birth of my culinary retreats. I want to really create a personal experience for my guests, a deeply felt amity, building a home away from home. I have a vision of bringing likeminded souls together, creating a wonderful ambiance, nurturing true companionship. Sharing with good people, exchange, expand. There is nothing more appropriate to this purpose than food and good wine, the alchemy of the saucepan. Do a little kitchen magic, spells with flavours and textures, that’s what I do. Welcome to L’Art de Bien Manger!

I live in a medieval castle on the banks of the river Saone. Chateau Chemilly is about 3h from Paris in the East of France, set in a wonderfully nostalgic area. The chateau has quite a history and together with my husband we have set out to restore it to its old glory. It has a huge 11th century tower with a fairytale medieval kitchen, this is where I host my bespoke culinary retreats. In addition to those, you may book a stay at one of the b&b tower rooms.
