A self-catering house or bed and breakfast for 15 guests. In the heart of the famous Jura vineyard, high on its rocky spur, this picturesque village looks out over the valley.
Built in the heart of a medieval village, this house full of history was once a farm, then a butcher’s shop and briefly a small gallery for amateur artists.
In 2010, largely renovated, it became the first guest house in Château-Chalon. In 2016 a group of us friends took it on, wanting to make it a warm, welcoming place where people are glad to gather.
We chose to keep its soul and its historic character while bringing in a contemporary touch. As you move from room to room you will find the traces of its past: the shopfront of the old butcher’s shop, the traditional door with its little bell, and the cement tiles of the period… so many details that tell the story of this house and give it all its charm!
Spread over several fully renovated floors, the house is generously proportioned and has 5 large bedrooms, each with its own bathroom and private toilet, so that you have both comfort and privacy during your stay.
“Our motto: naturally simple and without fuss, we welcome you with a smile and real pleasure.”
Our house can be taken as a whole self-catering house or as bed and breakfast. It sleeps up to 15 guests across its 5 bedrooms, each with a shower room or bathroom, including the family suite.

You walk with your hands free: the donkeys do the carrying.
They are called Cactus, Vladi and Ulan. They carry the bags, the picnics and sometimes the smallest walkers. You walk with your hands free and take in the landscape.
You set off on your own: we show you how to load the donkey, we hand it over and the path is yours. Waymarked trails starting from Château-Chalon, with views over the valley. This is the outing that turns a stay into a childhood memory: children adopt their donkey within the first ten minutes.
No experience is needed. A pack donkey is led at walking pace, it knows the way better than you do and it is happy to stop and graze.
