About this house rental

Les Arcis is an elegant country house set in extensive enclosed grounds comprising formal gardens and parkland with grand mature trees, an orchard, and a small vineyard. The original building dates back to the 1700s and was the hunting lodge of Colbert, finance minister to Louis XIV. There are many places to relax and enjoy the serenity of this magnificent property: long, lazy lunches in the shade of the old yew tree; a barbecue by the pool, with views across fields of sunflowers and barley and over the park and beyond to the river Serein; tennis, cycling or ping pong followed by evening drinks on the terrace and a game of boules before dinner under the stars to the chatter of cicadas.

“We had the best time at Les Arcis - it is an ideal family getaway! Beautiful setting, great food, swimming, and aperitifs on the terrace overlooking the garden. I will always remember our walk through the fields to a bakery in a barn to get fresh croissants. I can’t wait to go back!”
~Sofia Coppola

“Serenity wrapped up in a warm blanket of Peace followed by a good dose of Calm lovingly poured on top. Easy to drop into from Paris, and then to launch yourself into the rest of Burgundy. For those with more sedate inclinations, lovely fields surround, or even just meander in the gardens and get out your watercolor paints once you’ve found your lawn chair’s ideal location.”
~Peter Warner

Fantastic property! The tennis court is gorgeous and the sunsets are unmatched. Highly highly recommend - would give 6 stars if possible!

The perfect getaway — lovely cosy evenings by the fire, and days spent in this heavenly French chateau and its grounds. Lots of tennis played on the clay court (sadly too chilly to use the pool) but excursions to beautiful Chablis, Auxerre and the abbey at Pontigny were particular highlights. Can’t recommend enough!

A beautiful house in glorious surroundings. Wonderful amenities for mixed ages. A lovely revisit after several years and found perfect refurbishment and excellent facilities. The house is beautifully presented and the garden and grounds tranquil and delightful yet not far to go for visiting pretty towns. Highly recommended, we shall return.

I had the joy of staying at Chateau Les Arcis where I hosted a writer’s retreat. It couldn’t have been better! The area was perfect for long walks around the beautiful Burgundian countryside or to the nearby Auberge (which became a firm favourite!) and it was just blissful to return to a cosy fire, delicious local food and comfortable beds. I cant recommend it enough. Thank you so much for hosting us, I can’t wait to come back!

We cannot say enough good things about our stay at Les Arcis! It offered everything to do: swimming, tennis, table tennis, movies, peaceful walks on the grounds, quiet reading spots and most of all, comfort everywhere. We loved that each room offered a peaceful setting. The dining rooms were able to fit all 10 of us. The main bedroom was a beautiful retreat that we hated to leave on check-out day. Mike and Alison were gracious and answered right away when we had a question. We highly recommend staying in this beautiful, wonderful place, especially after the delightful busyness of Paris. It was not difficult to get to Les Arcis from Paris. Orly, the housekeeper, came each morning to bring us fresh croissants and baguettes and tidied the kitchen. You will love your stay at Les Arcis!

Our family had an incredible stay at this beautiful property. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to enjoy France’s rural Burgundy area. Close to several towns and villages, we were able to shop and go to markets but also relax in the beautiful home and grounds of the Chateau. It’s a historical home with so much character. Alison and Mike were fantastic! We especially liked waking each day to fresh bread and croissants. We will definitely be back to this magical place. It’s stolen our hearts.
10.0 / 10.0
We had an absolutely amazing time! This property exceeded all our expectations. Biking, Tennis, Badminton, Swimming, Local Boulangerie, fresh markets. The list is just too long to mention everything. Our family made memories for a lifetime here. We would highly recommend this property, so fabulous!!!!!
