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 90 Euro, please write a message for further inquiries.

A Postcard from the Mountains
Recently we went to the mountains to Haute Savoie to pick up some heavy old doors to replace the 19th century pine doors in the tower. They are really lovely pine doors yet given this is a very big tower we started looking around for doors that are more in the spirit of fortresses and…

The Scent of Wild Garlic
A long time ago, during what felt like a huge adventure, living my life in a city. My shoes were always neat and clean and my hair wound into a respectable chignon, no stray strands coming loose. I wore black as if in constant mourning but then it was chic, to wear black (what a…

An Easterly Cake
We have been working hard over the Easter holidays in the upper tower room over what soon will become La Chambre Etoile. If all goes as planned it will be available for booking in late summer. I’m very much looking forward to the decorating bit, for now it was mainly stripping down old paint, restoring…
Of course if you’re coming to Clos de Verniers, most importantly you will not do much except enjoying life to the fullest.
