“On the face of it, the charm of Les Charmes is in the shady walled garden, so big it's almost a small park. At the far end, by the pool, you could be far, far away, instead of in the heart of this famous Burgundy town. But there's more. This 18th century maison bourgeoise is in a world of its own: simple, old fashioned and genuine. Be sure to ask for a chambre 'meublée à l'ancienne' rather than 'en modern'.”
