Chateau de Burnand, is a magical place nestled into the Burgundy countryside.
Here, the spring air feels fresh and clean. The trees and flowers are on their way to full bloom, and the birds sing songs all throughout the day. Tiny French villages built of fieldstone are peppered throughout the rolling hills which surround us. And the landscape is divided by vineyards, forests, and pastures.
Sven and I arrived at this beautiful Chateau a few days ago and have already made unforgettable memories. We are living here for a few weeks, helping out around the Chateau any way possible. Our host, Jeane, has made us feel right at home and we’re lucky to experience all of the Chateau’s warmth and generosity. I couldn’t imagine a better start to our WorkAway experience.
The days here are peaceful and the countryside has a certain meditativeness about it, yet boredom seems impossible. Chateau de Burnand is a fully operating bed and breakfast, so guests come and go as the days pass. The house and grounds are quite large so there’s plenty of things to look after. Sven and I are both enjoying the nearness to nature – it truly feels special to have access to such an amazing place.
I’ll share more updates throughout our stay in Burnand. We’re hoping to explore a little more of Burgundy before we move on to the Loire Valley.
Talk soon,
Rebecca
