The setting for this cottage is truly idyllic in the valley of the Cousin river which runs below the town of Avallon. The sun glints on the water, there are weeping willow trees, and gentle waterfalls. Once a mill, the cottage is next to the main house, the home of Ann-Marie and Philippe Thibaut.

From here, you can walk into Avallon old town, walk, cycle or tour the area. Vézelay and Château de Bazoches are within easy reach; Beaune and Dijon, l’Abbaye de Fontenay and Chablis make for good day trips.
