Depuis une aurore lointaine, très lointaine, je suis sur la route, je suis en marche. Quel pays ai-je quitté? Je l’ignore, et je ne l’apprendrai que parvenu au terme de mon voyage, dans mon nouveau séjour.
Jules Maurie, Testament D’un Pauvre, 1928
A holiday spent in a very special place
Chateau de Chemilly dates back to the 11th century and was, back in the days, a venerable stronghold controlling the trade routes on the Saone river. As history has it, it had been ruined severally and with gusto by all kinds of enemies including kings and vagabonds. Yet its donjon tower seems to defy everything (supposedly with equal gusto). All guest rooms are located in the tower, where you’ll enjoy bohemian vibes paired with modern day comfort.
Each room comes with double or twin beds, a private bathroom and sitting area and a little office corner for you to write and dream.
A cosy garden with a terrific view awaits you, as well as a patch of grass under the trees where you can snuggle up and read the day away.
We’d like to make your stay absolutely wonderful and you can choose from a menu of services and activities, like booking us for creating a dashing soirée together.
Prices starting at 115 Euro per night (regardless of single or double occupancy) please write a message for further inquiries.

Apples around here are usually just coming in season when we close the castle for guests, so in summer I use tomatoes, or eggplant or courgettes. Merci Sue Neuenschwander for the most…

January Update and Dampfnudeln
I find much beauty in the steadiness with which the seasons change, the invariability of change, it’s a wonderful idea to witness. It is my eight winter in France, my eight season in this land that I chose to become my home, and it never failed me. Not a single bleak grey dreary cold January…

Les Poissonchats Wondrous Advent Calendar – Merry Christmas
Here we go with another year almost full. It has been a bit of a rocky ride for me, but brought clarity and purpose. I said in January it would be the year of the reckoning, which has probably hit with more precision than I had imagined with this playful thought. Though, thinking about it,…

Les Poissonchats Wondrous Advent Calendar – Hansel and Gretel
Ah, the gingerbread house – who wouldn’t fall for it? Hansel and Gretel isn’t in my top ten fairytales, but when I think about it, the story is full of intriguing elements: the sweets, the woods, the black cat, and a witch in the stove. I’m sure she rose out of that one like a…
Of course if you’re coming to Clos de Verniers, most importantly you will not do much except enjoying life to the fullest.
