Take advantage of your stay to indulge in a long-standing
fantasy:
A day's cruise on the Burgundy Canal aboard
our Hotel Barges
After a hearty breakfast at the Château la Chassagne, you
will be taken to the waiting barge. The captain will welcome you
on board with a Kir Royal and introduce you to the other passengers.
After
a tour of inspection, settle down comfortably on the deck and rediscover
the slow, leisurely tempo of yesteryear in the course of an unforgettable
cruise amidst the glorious landscapes and heady fragrances of Burgundy.
What
could be more tempting to a gourmet's palate than the prospect of
mouth-watering regional dishes enticingly concocted by our chef.
And, of course, it is only fitting that the distinguished selection
of wines should hail from the cellars of La Reine Pedauque and from
the fabled vineyards of the Côte de Beaune.
The
afternoon speeds by all too quickly but there's still time to make
acquaintance with the other guests in the convivial atmosphere of
the bar.
Towards
5 pm your journey comes to an end and the hotel-barge makes fast
for the night. Our chauffeur will drive you back to the chateau.
Total
excursion time: 8 to 9 hours.

Up, up and away in a beautiful Balloon!
Welcome to the magical world of hot-air balloons soaring high in
the skies above Château la Chassagne. Let the wind be your
guide as you look down on landscapes dear to the poet Lamartine
who once lived in the Château de Montculot overlooking the
Ouche Valley. After touchdown at a place of the wind's choosing,
it's time for a celebratory glass of champagne. The departures take
place early in the morning or late in the afternoon. The entire
journey lasts about 3 hours including 1 hour actual flying time.

Club Crémant de la Confrérie
du Château - Become an exclusive member!
In the far-off days of the Dukes of Burgundy, it was already the
custom to slice open bottles of Crémant de Bourgogne with
a sword. This tradition survives today and is suitably honoured
by the "Crémant Club of the Château la Chassagne
Confraternity". The master of ceremonies will show you how
to slash open a champagne bottle. From the moment you have slashed
open your own bottle, you belong to the Confrérie du Château
la Chassagne. Experience teaches us that, depending on the skill
of the new member, there will be enough wine left in the bottle
for between 4 and 6 toasts to be drunk in tribute to this feat.
Crémant will be served with canapés.
At
the end of the ceremony, you will receive a certificate of membership
detailing your special rights concerning Château la Chassagne.
You will be offered the neck of the bottle you have so dexterously
sliced open, handsomely presented in a gift-box.
Make
sure you bring your camera along to capture this moment for posterity
!
