A wonderful week with friends in this beautiful setting. Lovely day trips to nearby villages & towns, then "home" to enjoy the serenity. Topped off with the platinum wine tasting at Christophe's home - superb thank you. This trip has made life long memories.

We had a fantastic week here at Villa Saunières! We surprised our dad for his 60th birthday and created some amazing family memories. During our stay we had so much fun playing pétanque & enjoying the facilities and grounds. We rode the bikes into Verdun most days for croissants and pains au chocolat fresh from the patisserie. We really enjoyed exploring the area:
- Incredible wine tasting experience with Christophe at Château de Simard.
- Arranging the Chef and server to come to the villa for our formal dinner for Dads birthday night.
- Cycling tour with Guillaume from Burgundy bike tours through the vineyards.
What a fantastic week, merci beaucoup !
Thank you for wonderful Christmas break !
Cher Christophe. C'était de nouveau une grande fête de séjourner avec toute la famille (17 personnes dont 8 enfants) dans l'une de vos magnifiques demeures. La dernière fois au château de Lans, et cette fois ci à Mercurey. Vu le temps magnifique nous avons passé beaucoup de temps au bord de la piscine et tous les soirs nous y avons dîné. Mais nous avons pu profiter également de toutes les autres possibilités: la salle de gym, le sauna, le hammam, le ping-pong, le jeu de boules... Nous en garderons tous un merveilleux souvenir et qui sait reviendrons nous la prochaine fois au château de Montsymond. Au nom de toute la famille, un grand merci !
Having already experienced a fantastically successful holiday in Château de Mercurey in 2011, I was unsure whether to repeat it at Château de Lans. Grandchildren all wanted to come, aged 8 to 22, plus my 3 children & spouses! Not once anyone said "I'm bored" or even worse disappearing behind an electronic device! They have tried everything from the gym, bikes & games. They have played water polo and various games they devised from the pool. We have eaten and drunk our way through the week, hoping our activities have made up for any excess. Thomas's gastronomic menu was a wonderful last evening. A marvellous week for us all.
13 of us had a lovely time in the Chateau Mercurey. 3 special occasions were celebrated: Christmas, a wedding anniversary and New Year's Eve. This was once in a life time experience and we relished it. The surrounding villages and towns were delightful, and the centuries of history mind blowing. We admire the fact that the chateau has been rescued and brought back to life. Well done !
We had our first family vacation in 14 years at Château de Lans. This was an amazing location to do this. The rooms & bathrooms, the decor, the large kitchen and dining-room...and of course the grounds.
We all enjoyed the pool, the trampoline and even apples from the garden. We loved exploring wine country. Christophe's wine tasting was "Amazing". The Chef at the Château was a wonderful night for the entire group. In a word, it was a magical week. We hope to come back & enjoy one of the other properties in the future.
We had a wonderful hot summer week in Villa Saunières. We enjoyed the pool. The pool and parasol were care necessities as we touched 40°C this week. Every evening at 9 we lighted the BBQ and had a lovely dinner outside. All outside dinners were accompanied by good wines but these could not match with the extraordinary wines of your cellar Christophe !
Tip for golfers: It's a 20 minutes drive to Chalon sur Saône's Golf Course. They planted several exotic trees, worthwile!! Hope to come back in one of your other properties. Thanks for the lovely stay !
