Chatellenot

Châtellenot is a small rural commune in the Côte-d'Or department, in the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region, set within the Auxois natural area close to the Morvan. This gently rolling countryside, known for its hedgerowed pastures and Charolais cattle farming, offers a peaceful, green setting ideal for a countryside break. The village lies not far from Saulieu, a town renowned for its gastronomic tradition and the François Pompon museum, as well as notable Auxois landmarks such as Châteauneuf Castle and the Burgundy Canal, where towpaths make for pleasant walking or cycling routes. The surrounding Burgundy region invites visitors to explore its vineyards, characterful stone villages and regional cuisine, from beef bourguignon to local cheeses. The semi-continental climate, with warm summers and cool winters, suits outdoor pursuits such as hiking, cycling and fishing along the nearby waterways. Châtellenot therefore makes a quiet base from which to explore the Auxois and Morvan areas, combining unspoilt nature with the discovery of Burgundy's rich heritage.
