AMAZING stay in Beaune!
Truly one of the coolest and most amazing rental properties we have stayed in. The apartment is so unique, beautiful and well appointed. It was a quick 5-minute walk into town. Only critique is the window shades are very thin and you feel a little 'exposed' to neighbors at night, specifically in the bathroom. Thank for for an awesome stay in Burgundy! :)

The property is very tastefully decorated with the remains of arched brick ceilings. It has all modern furnishings and quality appliances. The place is located two blocks from central Beaune with an easy walk to many highlights of Beaune. It is also a good location for seeing other towns and cities in Burgundy.

5 days in busy Beaune
We enjoyed the spaces of the apartment. Everything was as pictured Without a car, there was a lot of walking. It’s quite warm in Beaune but two fans helped. Adding two luggage racks for suitcases would add to the apartment’s comfort. It’s a long walk to and from the train station on the very rough surfaces.

Cannot Wait to Return
We had a wonderful week and enjoyed our time at The Convent enormously. We have visited Beaune a couple of previous times over the past decade or so, but always for a day or two and always stayed at hotels. This was a much better experience. La Chapel is a fascinating and very workable layout, very clean and updated, and has a wonderful courtyard and yard area we used a lot for meals and relaxing. We walked everywhere, since everything is fairly close by: boulangerie, groceries, restaurants and shops, etc. Caroline was very helpful with the reservation and providing additional information. We can’t wait to return.

Can't wait to come back!
My wife and I booked La Chapelle for a week in mid-May 2019 and couldn't have asked for a better place to stay in Bourgogne! We had searched VRBO months in advance and couldn't believe our luck when we found such a perfect place just a five minute walk from the center of Beaune. From Max greeting us on arrival to Caroline's quick response when we thought we were locked out, to meeting Max in the Poissonnerie on the corner when we were shopping for dinner that we cooked on the charcoal grill, to the very informative notebook of information about the region, to the comfortable bed, to the well-equipped kitchen, the the beautiful private garden, everything was just perfect. Opening the windows in the morning during the week, there are no sound of traffic, only the birds singing beautifully. We will surely be back and try to bring friends to rent the upstairs apartment which I'm sure is just as perfect.

Great Property and Host!
This property was exactly as pictured and represented. Actually I think it was better! It was immaculate, comfortable, and well stocked. Even though the building is hundreds of years old and the architecture charming, the kitchen is beautifully updated, with modern high end appliances, nice dishes and cutlery etc. The shower room is very roomy and has lots of room to place your toiletries. The washer and dryer are full size stackables and work perfectly, quick and efficient. The bed is I believe larger than my own queen at home and very comfortable. The actual bedding was so nice that my husband and I took a photo of the label so that we could try to order the same duvet cover for our home! There were fresh and ample supplies of soaps, hand, bath, laundry detergent, dish detergent- the bottles were full and they were clean! Everything was clean! The only thing we bought was some paper towels. Everything else was there! There is a huge garden. It is shared by some other apartments but very spacious and welcoming. We met one of the neighbors and he was very sweet and friendly. The host/ hostess was wonderful to work with! I had all the info about the location , where to park, and how to access the property( with annotated photos) well in advance of my arrival. I had a problem with VRBO about my final payment that VRBO made me contact the hostess. She was so nice and helpful, and immediately jumped in to help! Any time I contacted her I immediately got a response! That was so appreciated. Especially because I don’t speak French ! This property is in a very quiet neighborhood , about an 8-10 minute walk to the center of the Beaune historic part, with a beautiful and peaceful park nearby. We stayed for 5 nights. There were times I wished it was a little closer to town, but the walk is flat and easy.

An dieser Wohnung ist alles perfekt. Die Einrichtung ist sehr geschmackvoll mit dem historischen Ambiente verbunden. Die Wohnung war sehr sauber. Alle notwendigen Dinge sind vorhanden. Die dicken Mauern lassen auch 40 Grad gut überstehen. Die vielen Restaurants im Umfeld ermöglichen es, den Abend schön zu gestalten.

About the host

Hosted by La Maison du Couvent - Caroline & Max GIGANDET

Host profile image
We are both native from the Beaune area, and we just achieved the complete renovation of this former Convent from the 17th century. This building has got a lot charm, and many of the original materials are still in place, including the classic oak-beamed ceiling, some old parquet floor, and classic and original tiles.
We did the renovations as it was our “home sweet home”, creating a warm and personal decoration, to provide the best feeling to our guests. All the renovations have been made by local craftsmen, and as an interior architect I had a lot of pleasure to coordinate their work and put in relief all the character from the past.
The kitchen has been made on demand, with top range selection of kitchen appliances, we have carefully selected the beds, including large dimensions (1 Kind size bed – 180 x 200 / 1 Sofa bed 160 x 200).
We have done a mix of modern and old pieces of furniture, selected some warm painting colors (Farrow & Ball / Ressources), to provide our guests the nicest stay as possible.

Why they chose this property

Beaune is the among the most renown and prestigious wine area, it offers a large range of activities, for everyone that enjoy wines, gastronomy, historical building and to share conviviality moments. The town is perfectly renovated and the buildings are well maintained over the years, the city has preserved all the character from the past, it is a site full of history. Beaune offers a large choice of restaurants, wine tastings, and it will grant you the possibility to know deeper the Burgundian wines. The quality of life is very nice, Beaune offers also a large choice of cultural activities, for example the annual crime film festival (March), the festival of Baroque music (June/July), or the evening illuminations of some of Beaune’s historic buildings. The life is easy and relax. You can also enjoy biking across the prestigious vineyards.

We felled in love with this former convent, at the beginning you need to get some imagination, as the property was not maintained for decades, the Convent was composed of 2 small apartments, that we have joined to make one. After 6 months renovation, we are so pleased about the result, and our guests really appreciate their time in the house, you just need to check their comments.

What makes this property unique

- Private garden all fenced by original stone walls.
- Apartment entirely renovated
- Few minutes’ walk from the center of town, no need of a car during your stay.
- At 500 meters, you can enjoy the terrace of the bar & restaurant named La Table du Square.
- The convent is set back from the street which makes it a calm and tranquil place to stay.
- BBQ, garden furniture’s, deck chairs to enjoy spring and summer.
- Nice view over the church bell and the old roof of Beaune.
- Very bright as the sun orientation is East / West.
- 2 bikes can be made available on request, to enjoy cycling across the prestigious vineyards, the departure of the road is just 500 meters from the house.
- We can also made available a small vaulted cellar on request, to share a wine tasting with your friends.
- The renovation and decoration is new, we have paid a careful attention to the bed’s selection.
- The custom kitchen, will give our guests the possibility to cook some nice meals, and share good moments with friends or family.
