Belle maison de campagne restaurée, avec de magnifique vue en Bourgogne

This is easily the 6th or 7th time we have stayed at Bill and Jenny’s gite in Tivauche. My husband and I both love it and always feel as if we are coming to our “home away from home”. The farm house is so warm and inviting with spacious, well furnished rooms and beautiful views of the Auxois countryside. The terrace is a great place to relax in the spring and fall overlooking the lush green hills . The house is very clean and immaculately maintained and the surrounding countryside is so picturesque. One of our favorite things to do is to search out yet another charming village where I can dream of owning a wonderful stone house -there are many charming villages so

it’s hard to choose a favorite . Semur en Auxois, the medieval walled city 12 km away has about everything one could need and an excellent artisan boulangerie with the most delicious almond croissants ever! Hint: order your almond croissants for pick-up the next morning and they will be freshly baked and still warm when you arrive. Le Marrioner in Buffon overlooking the Burgundy canal and La Mirabelle at the roundabout at St Remy are not to be missed. There are endless sites to see, from Vezelay (Mont St Michelle without water) to Chateauneuf looming ominously on its promontory, the Forge du Buffon to the medieval wine town of Beaune to endless chateaux such as Tanlay or Ancy le Franc, Burgundy has it all! Everyone that we have met and come to know from visiting here for years is friendly and helpful, from the pharmacist in Semur to the florist and especially the boulangerie. We will keep returning to Tivauche to relax, refuel and refresh and hope to stay two weeks in the Spring of 2020. Bill and Jenny and their two lovely daughters whom we have watched grow up are a delightful family, always ready to help with anything but not intrusive. Anyone thinking about a trip to Burgundy would love this gite and the Higgs family. We can’t wait to go back to Tivauche.

FRENCH COUNTRY LIVING AT ITS BEST

Bill and Jenny couldn't have done a better job. Perfectly well appointed, cozy. The whole house done in excellent taste- lots of character. All conveniences provided for. We always looked forward to coming home to it at the end of each day.

Finally, Bill and Jenny were warm hosts and attentive to our needs.

We booked the lovely cottage from Bill and Jenny for the beginning of September and really enjoyed it! The house has all amenities, a great kitchen, large bedrooms and is situated in a beautiful rural surrounding.

Bill and Jenny were fabulous hosts and helped us out with any request we had. We loved their dogs and chickens! You can use their bicycles to go to the local bakery or just cycle on small paths to one of the cosy villages nearby.

Very relaxing break. Enjoyed the peace and quiet of the farmhouse. Nice region to explore with very quaint villages. Good value for money.

Un soggiorno veramente riposante in una casa tenuta benissimo, accessoriata con ogni elettrodomestico possibile e immaginabile, i padroni di casa che abitano in una porzione di casa adiacente non sono stati mai invadenti ma assai gentili… posto sperduto nella immensa campagna francese ma vicino a molte cittadine più o meno grandi e piene di fascino. Unica piccola pecca: il giardino non tenuto perfettamente (ordinato come da foto del sito)
