1 Bedroom Holiday Barn in Viserny, Burgundy, France - Le Joli Regain Reviews

We stayed at the little barn for 4 days in July, and couldn't have hoped for anything more from our stay. The barn was better equipped than my own house! I would agree with another reviewer and it looks more stunning in real life. The full kitchen was great – we made use of this for making picnics to take on our days out. The garden area was lovely, and we sat out every night of our trip, with some tasty cheeses and wine, listening to the silence. The sky is also amazingly dark so you get great opportunities to see some stars. The way that the barn is organized was great too, very private, but the owners just there if you do need anything.

Stuart and Jules were very welcoming, and have us lots of tips of where to go, and markets to visit, and a great book on cycling so let them know what you like to do and I am sure they will have some good tips. There is also a very detailed book in the barn with recommendations of restaurants and things to see. There was also a useful stack of leaflets, which is so handy for taking before you head off to places. Also a novelty was the bread van who passes by on a Sunday morning, around 9:45 am, where you can buy your morning croissants and baguettes!

The barn is in a great location, between the wine regions of Chablis and the Cote du Beaune & Cote du Nuit. There were lots of other pretty small towns along the journeys, so got to see some other more rustic towns such as Epoisse and Auxerre. The region is great for cycling - we took bikes, and cycled some of the burgundy canal, watching some canal boats navigating the locks - and through the vineyards between Beaune, and Pommard (though if it is warm, take lots of water as it is very exposed).

In summary I would say this is the perfect place to stay! We didn’t explore nearly enough of the area, and will definitely recommend the barn to friends, or most likely visit again.
