Chazilly

Chazilly is a small rural commune in the Côte-d'Or department, within the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region, set in the Auxois countryside not far from Pouilly-en-Auxois. This typical Burgundian village is surrounded by rolling hedgerowed farmland, pasture and woodland, ideal for country walks. The Château de Chazilly, a historic building within the village, offers a point of local heritage interest. The nearby Canal de Bourgogne provides pleasant towpaths for walking or cycling amid peaceful, green surroundings. Thanks to its central location in Burgundy, Chazilly makes a convenient base for exploring the region's vineyards, the characterful villages of the Auxois and the Romanesque heritage found throughout Burgundy, with Dijon, Autun and Beaune all within reasonable reach. The area enjoys a semi-continental climate, with warm summers and cool winters, making it well suited to a countryside stay combining unspoilt nature, regional gastronomy and the discovery of Burgundy's rich rural heritage.
