Overview
This handsome manor house, set in a classified and renowned wine-village, couldn’t be better positioned to explore the world-famous vineyards, villages and towns in this beautiful part of central Burgundy.
Located mi-chemin (half way) between Beaune and Chalon-sur-Saône, near the vineyards of Côte Chalonnaise, Manoir Mi-Chemin offers elegance and authenticity alongside contemporary comfort in glorious gardens with a heated swimming pool. The owners have a real eye for detail, as seen through the stunning restoration where they have retained so much period detail such as ornate ceilings, exquisite flooring and splendid chandeliers. At the end of a day exploring, sip fine wine by the fireplace in the high-ceilinged living rooms or prepare feasts using ingredients from local farmer’s markets in the perfectly equipped kitchen, fit for a chef.
Six inviting bedrooms, styled with pretty yet simple touches, feature blue shuttered windows peeping out to the glorious gardens and village. Throughout the manoir there is a great feeling of space both inside and out, making it perfect for large families or a group of wine-loving friends. You’ll always be able to find a quiet spot in the 2.5 acres of gardens featuring sloping lawns, towering trees, al-fresco lounges and a wonderful heated swimming pool.
This picture-perfect setting allows you to experience true Burgundy; wander out past the characterful houses to fetch morning pastries from the boulangerie and spend evenings in one of the wineries or the village’s gourmet restaurant. Use the manoir’s mountain bikes to follow the Voie Verte, cycling through vineyards and passing châteaux as far as Chalon-sur-Saône to the south or Beaune to the north. Take the train to the historic city of Dijon or drive to other wondrous places such as Autun and Cluny.
Not forgetting the charming market town of Chagny, under 5km away, with its atmospheric Sunday morning Farmer’s market and 100-year old restaurant with three Michelin stars. Staying at Manoir Mi-Chemin is all about authenticity as well as fine wine, gastronomic food and idyllic Burgundy villages in this alluring region.

Location
About the surrounding area of Manoir Mi-CheminManoir Mi-Chemin is set in a Burgundy village just a short drive from the popular market town of Chagny, in the Saône-et-Loire department. This is an ideal location for exploring the famous towns and vineyards of Beaune, Chalon-sur-Saône and the rest of the Burgundy wine region.
Wander down into the village, passing characterful shuttered houses and pretty archways, pick up morning pastries or treats from the boulangerie and patisserie or drop into the small supermarket, just a short walk away. The village also has a restaurant and is home to many wineries where you can sample some of the local Côte Chalonnaise wine from vineyards surrounding the village and beyond.
Chagny (4.5km) is a lovely market town, reached by car or bike, and a visit to the vibrant and atmospheric market on a Sunday morning is a must. You’ll also find a variety of restaurants serving good, local food as well as the famous 3 Michelin starred Maison Lameloise (make sure you reserve a table in advance!). It’s also a nice place for walking and cycling, especially along the Canal du Centre with its pretty towpaths.
Cycling and keen walkers can also follow the wonderful Voie Verte from near the village up to either Beaune or Chalon-sur-Saône, passing vineyards and beautiful scenery.
It’s an easy drive (or cycle!) to the riverside town of Chalon-sur-Saône (17km) with its cathedral, museums and pretty old quarter which is perfect for exploring. Stop for a coffee on the charming Place Saint-Vincent or wander by the banks of the Saône where you can take summer boat trips along the river.
Beaune (23km) is the most well known town of this region, around half an hour by car or you could take the train from the local train station just outside the village. The town hosts a wonderful market on a Wednesday and Saturday morning, has a number of great restaurants and wineries and is home to stunning historic buildings, including the much loved Hospices de Beaune.
From here, follow Burgundy’s wine road, Route des Grands Crus, passing through idyllic vineyards and pretty wine-towns such as Puligny-Montrachet, Meursault, Volnay and Pommard, all within a twenty-minute drive, as well as many other villages of the Côte de Beaune and Côte de Nuits regions.
Other interesting towns to visit include historic Autun (43km) with its lovely market and Dijon (68km), with its famous mustard stores and beautiful buildings. Nature lovers, in the meantime, should head to the wonderful Parc Naturel Régional du Morvan with its rolling hills, woodlands, streams and plenty of opportunities to hike, mountain bike or even try out some watersports on one of the rivers or lakes.

Kids
Best Suited For: All AgesHire bikes (or use the manoir’s mountain bikes) to ride alongside the Canal du Centre either to Chagny and beyond or down to Chalon-sur-Saône. There are also lovely walks along here or find a pretty spot for a picnic after visiting one of the local markets.
Spend the day in the picturesque town of Chalon-sur-Saône, take a boat trip along the river or spend time with the kids at the Espace Nautique du Grand Chalon with its multiple pools, wave-machines, fountains and water slides for lots of family fun.
Taking the train is a great way to visit Beaune or Dijon for all the family or drive to the town of Autun, dating back to the Roman times, to excite any young historian. There are of course many stunning châteaux across the Saône-et-Loire region and beyond.
Activity-seeking families should spend the day at the Parc Naturel Régional du Morvan for horse-riding, cycling, walking and even watersports in beautiful surroundings. A little closer to home, visit the 'Acrogivry' tree-top centre just twenty minutes away with courses suitable for all ages.

Amazing villa
Everything so far has gone smoothly and without issue. The villa is amazing.

Beautiful Manoir Perfectly Appointed
We all loved this property and appreciated all the little details that were taken care of by the owners. The building has been very lovingly restored and furnished. It is located in a very quiet town and is accessed by a large gated driveway. Even though it is semi-urban the property is huge. I would guess it to be about 4 acres or more.
There are a lot of gathering spaces including no less than three dining locations and many comfortable seating areas. The bedrooms were very large and well appointed. The pool is quite new and we used it often.
Overall, we wanted for nothing and loved our stay! Highly, highly recommended! -
Brilliant stay
Great private house with five equivalently sized generous en suite rooms and an additional large room without bathroom. Well equipped kitchen. Comfortable sitting room and large dining room. Lots of parking. Nice heated swimming pool with good loungers and plenty of shade. Lovely outdoor kitchen and dining set up we used most nights. Sigrid was communicative and helpful. A warm welcome. Location is right in the heart of burgundy wine lands with local wineries, boulangerie, grocer, restaurant, playground and chateau within walking distance. Highly recommended.

Central location, great stay!
The villa was huge and could easily accommodate larger groups than our three couples. The grounds were expansive and well suited for outside leisure and dining. The Rully location was super both in terms of accessing everything that Burgundy region has to offer as well as for enjoying local amenities such as bakeries, restaurant, wineries, etc. Our host was extremely helpful throughout the whole vacation process. A hugely enjoyable week.

Exquisitely Renovated French Manor House!
This house was exquisitely restored with close attention to period detail. It is perfectly curated and integrated with antique fixtures and objects d’art as well all the modern comforts you could want. The kitchen is one of the most well equipped I have ever stayed in so the owners must be cooks. There are lovely spots to sit throughout the gardens with comfortable furnishings. The house itself is perfect for large families or a selection of couples. Our host was incredibly responsive, helpful, flexible and kind. I can not recommend the home and the host highly enough. We had a completely charming and comfortable stay. Thank you again for sharing your lovely home.

Fantastic house, fully equipped , super comfortable
We were 9 and felt immediately at home. Reception was warm and efficiënt, house well kept and very clean, well stocked with all necessary basics. Spent a wonderful week exploring the area. Home cooking most of the time in a spacious and very well equipped kitchen. Enjoyed the garden (garden furniture galore!). House is very spacious so that even with 9 adults you could always find a quiet corner. Top marks.

Hard to imagine a more perfect holiday home in Burgundy!
The manoir is spacious, elegant, and comfortable, with a fantastic kitchen, lovely bedrooms with en suite bath, and a brand new salt water pool. Located in the charming town of Rully, it's an ideal place to immerse yourself in vineyards and history. We enjoyed dinners in the lovely yard and at the restaurant in town, took the train to Dijon for a day, visited castles and wine tastings and farmers markets, roman ruins and romanesque churches. Our host, was helpful and gracious. All in all, a fantastic stay in a lovely spot. Highly recommended.
