The Burgundy / Yonne region


Hot summers and cold crisp winters make fine conditions for vines and the most famous area in the Yonne is Chablis. Half an hour drive from the cottage takes you into the Chablis hillsides covered in vines. You will be able to taste wines at many of the vineyards and outlets in the village of Chablis itself and also nearer to home at Irancy, St Bris and Coulanges la Vineuse.
Ideal area for outdoor activities, walking and cycling are a joy because the area is so unspoilt and wonderful for sampling the local food and hospitality.

Guestbook for The Cottage
This wonderful homely cottage in Lucy is a home from home. It is in an ideal situation for biking, or just a stroll along the river or canal where you will see some beautiful barges and boats. The near towns of Clamecy and Vezelay are wonderful; there are lots of lovely restaurants and shops. We have thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Lucy and will definitely return in the future. Norma and Harold - Manchester
Such an easy house to be in, winter or summer, with everything to hand, good use of space, comfort but no clutter. In winter, it's a delight to walk into the lamplit sitting room and be greeted by a crackling log fire - and the sofas are wickedly comfortable. In summer, the little L-shaped garden is the perfect private spot for breakfast, picnic or drinks - or just lazing in the sun with the birds before exerting oneself at the barbecue. We loved the light and openness of the main bedroom upstairs with its typically French antiques and lots of space. We even enjoyed the 7 o'clock church bells as they lulled us back to sleep! Ann and Brenadan
