Selongey

Selongey is a small village in the Côte-d'Or department, in the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region, located around twenty kilometres north of Dijon. This rural village sits within a typical Burgundian countryside landscape of farmland and gentle valleys, offering a peaceful, green setting well suited to relaxed stays. The village has historical links to industrial aluminium household goods manufacturing, a tradition that shaped its economic development throughout the 20th century. The surrounding countryside is ideal for walking and exploring traditional rural architecture, with stone-built houses characteristic of the region. Its proximity to Dijon, the historic capital of Burgundy, provides easy access to a rich cultural heritage, including the Palace of the Dukes and various museums, as well as to the renowned vineyards of the Côte de Nuits and Côte de Beaune, only a short drive away. Selongey therefore makes a practical base for exploring this wine-producing and gastronomic region, while enjoying a quiet rural environment away from urban bustle—well suited to short or medium-length stays with family or friends.
