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.
Private French fine dining and elegant château lunches can be arranged, allowing you to indulge in exceptional cuisine within the timeless atmosphere of the castle.
Prices starting at 115 Euro per night (regardless of single or double occupancy) please write a message for further inquiries.

A Classic Tarte Tatin
I do make various kinds of tarte tatin with my guests over the summer, salty versions mostly, because it’s such a French classic. 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…

The Moon Within Retreat and Omelette aux Fines Herbes
I’m a breakfast person, really, though I don’t get to it quite as often as I’d like, because I’m also trying to be a morning person, of the frisky, bouncy kind, which in turn I really am not (I may be frisky and bouncy but only after midnight), yet over the years I’ve gotten quite…

Feuillete de Saint Jacques and the Trees have Turned Verdoyant over Night
It came upon me all of a sudden, seemingly overnight: a world of trees turned green again, lush, verdoyant full of life green and it feels as if it has never been anything else. I’m quietly preparing the house for the season. The B&B reopens on 14 May, though if the weather stays this gorgeous,…

Et Voilà Spring and a Simple Cake
Precipitously, spring has fallen from the sky, essentially overnight, and with an explosion of yellows and purples in the garden (colours in nature seem to follow an innate order: first purples and yellows, then pinks, whites, blues, etc.). And I can’t help but be happy and content, and laughing more than I used to, and…
Of course if you’re coming to Clos de Verniers, most importantly you will not do much except enjoying life to the fullest.
