The Bourgogne region of France, full of ripening grapes, ancient castles, meandering rivers, charming towns and world renowned cuisine offers a perfect tableau to “Taste and See” the goodness of nature and the abundance of your own life and a culture rich with beauty.

Daily life in France prioritizes savoring each moment, basking in beauty, connecting with the earth and delighting in conversation and companionship. You'll spend the week experiencing the abundant satisfaction and peace that comes with that way of living. You will enjoy local, market-fresh meals prepared by a professional chef from the region and paired with wines from the region, learn to cook authentic French cuisine, pedal through local villages, vineyards and forests, float above the region in a hot air ballon, lounge by the beautiful salt-water pool, and learn about the wine, cuisine and ancient history of the area all while savoring the company of like-minded explorers

Flying into France

The easiest way to reach Chateau Montrevost is to fly to Paris. From there, you have 2 options:

1. Rent a car and drive directly to the Chateau. Driving in France is as easy as driving in the US. The highways are well marked, and Google Maps will take you right to the front door. If you are traveling with another person, you may even find that this is a less expensive option than multiple round-trip train tickets. In my opinion, this is the best option since it gives you the most flexibility to tour the countryside during our week at the Chateau. 

2. Regular trains run from Paris to Tournus. The price of a one-way ticket runs between 40 and 70 Euro, and it takes about 4 hours to transit. If you choose this option, I will help to arrange a taxi for your pick up at the station and transport to the Chateau.

You can purchase train tickets in advance HERE.

Please note that we will not have access to the Chateau until 3pm, so plan your travel and arrival accordingly. Our first gathering will take place at 6pm.

This superb 10,000 square foot Chateau built over different periods from the 16th to the 19th century has been completely refurbished with modern comforts and conveniences. It is situated within a 15-acre park including 10 acres of forest classified as a “protected site”, and a small pond for fishing. From the castle, you can enjoy a  view of the Jura mountains.

A five minute bikeyeard on a pedestrian and cycle path takes you from the entrance of the property to the village of Cuisery with shops and a delicious Boulangerie, and Tournus, the gastronomic capital of Southern Burgundy with its Michelin-starred restaurants is only 7 km away.

The location is ideal for jogging, walking, horse riding, and cycling from the Château. The Seille river is a few hundred meters away and offers a cycle route as well as water activities (canoe rental, fishing boat, etc.).

A complete Wellness area with a gym (weight training and cardio), sauna, and hammam, as well as a massage room (a local masseuse offers her services on site), are available in the Château.

Take the train or drive your own rental car to our private castle in the heart of the French Countryside. Setlle in, unpack, then join the group in the Salon for a welcome aperitif followed by a delicious dinner.

Start your day with gentle yoga by the pool, fresh-baked croissant almond, and the sweet sounds of birds in the countryside. Go for a bike-ride or a walk, remain at the Chateau for a massage or opt in for a gourmet Michelin starred Lunch at Le Montrachet Restaurant in one of most renowned wine villages of the region.

The owner of our Chateau happens to be one of the leading experts on Burgundy wines and has an astonishing private collection that he graciously opens for us. This is a chance to taste wines that even the finest restaurants are unable to acquire, and just as importantly, it is a unique opportunity to learn the history of the region from someone who has dedicated his life to restoring its gracious structures and preserving its culture.

Start the morning at sunrise by floating high above farms, castles and vineyards in a private balloon. Finish the ride with a champagne toast and a flight certificate, then return to the castle for a cooking class led by our delightful chef. We'll collaborate under her supervision to prepare a traditional Burgundian Lunch, and we will finish the day with restorative yoga by the pool.

Our bus driver will pick us up this morning at  9:00am for a drive to Beaune where we will meet our guide and begin our leisurely ebike journey through the Grand Cru vineyards of Burgundy. By noon, we will arrive to our lunch desitnation where we will tour their 14th and 15th Century cellar before a lovely meal and wine pairing. 

We will end the day with a Guided tour of the Hospices de Beaune and time for a bit of shopping in Beaune before departing for the Castle at 5.

After a leisurely morning and yoga, we will head into the nearest town, Tournus, to tour the medieval abbey, wander the riverbanks, have lunch and relax.

We will gather for a final celebratory meal together in our last evening at the castle. Expect music and laughter, storytelling and joy as we wind up a fabulous week of cultural immersion and connection.

Check out of the castle takes place at 9am. Head back to Paris or elsewhere in France to extend the adventure.

Please plan times accordingly when booking trains and transportation.
