La Tour - Self-catering tower in Côte-d’Or
1 chemin des Chenevières, 21150 Flavigny-sur-Ozerain, Côte-d’Or
Burgundy,
Francia
Such a peaceful, verdant setting. Sitting in the valley this unusual tower obviously didn't serve any military purpose but deep window sills and thick walls mean it is gorgeously cool on hot days and warm in the winter. The living area has comfy seating, lots of books and games for rainy days and lovely views. In the kitchen you'll find all the basics you need for cooking.
Spill onto lawns and terraces for al fresco meals, a game of boules or simply a snooze on a lounger in the shade. Wander through the orchard (yes do pick the fruit in season) and meadows full of wildflowers in spring and summer. Further are walks through forest or along footpaths to the village for shopping and restaurants. On Sundays you'll hear the Benedictine monks from the monastery overlooking you sing mass.
Gather and cook local ingredients or ask Louise to prepare something for you - she makes a cracking Boeuf Bourguignon.

Local points of interest from Louise Dean:
Punti d'interesse locali da
Louise Dean:
- The Abbaye of Fontenay, a UNESCO world heritage site is just 20 minutes from the Tower, well worth a visit and allow extra time for the magnificent gardens.
- The Grange restaurant in the village of Flavigny is run by the Farmers wives using produce from their farms, very casual seating at trestle tables, good quantities of food at reasonable prices.
- Flavigny sur Ozerain is classed as one of the most beautiful villages of France, also famous for the film Chocolat that was turned in 2000 with Johnny Depp, Judy Dench and Juliette Binoche….never seen the film? we have it on dvd in the house.
- Alesia, a gallo roman site just 10 minutes from the Tower where it is said that Caesar and his troops won the battle against Vercingétorix, great learning center for children and adults with daily battles and craft sessions.
- Flavigny village organises cultural events throughout the year, musical festivals, the amazing boot fair on Saint Simons day, over 100 window creches displayed at Christmas time, art exhibitions and much more.
