A 17th-century townhouse sitting on a quiet side street with lots of original features and a west-facing patio screened by vines and lemons

It's pretty groovy here with mood lighting, designer chairs, vintage pieces and floral-print crockery. Light pours in through the loftiest windows and high ceilings make the open-plan living space feel bigger. The beautiful staircase with the original stone step at its base curves up to the bedrooms. One is larger than the other but both have the original tomette tiles on the floor, mirrored wardrobes and superb linen.

The stylish galley kitchen has literally everything, including a raclette machine and rice cooker. Serious cooks can shut the door to the sitting room and create favourite French dishes with ingredients from the market – even bake a holiday cake. The little patio gets the sun all afternoon and evening (there is a parasol) and this is a great private spot for an aperitif or supper.

It's a two-minute walk to the centre of Auxerre and the bakery for your fresh breakfast croissants and baguettes.

  • Come and discover Burgundy and Auxerre's city centre at the Maison des Pilastres! We would be delighted to share with you our passion for the region's history and heritage, which led us to buy this house, built in 1619.
  • A real haven of peace, you can enjoy the terrace from breakfast to aperitif, and the view of an old wine press. You can also easily discover all the wonders of Auxerre and its fascinating region (Chablis, Irancy, Vézelay, Saint-Fargeau...)
