Anne L Superbe séjour en Bourgogne
Nous remercions Kate et Joël pour leur merveilleux accueil.
Nous avons passé 5 jours de pleine sérénité dans leur petit paradis. Le magnifique jardin bordé de nature nous a agréablement reposé accompagné de nombreux oiseaux et même un petit chevreuil qui est venu nous dire bonjour.
Un endroit idéal pour de belles balades à pied ou en vélo non loin du canal de Bourgogne.
Le plus beau était la rencontre de Kate et Joël et du partage de plusieurs tranches de vie. Quel plaisir de découvrir des personnes avec des parcours riches d’expérience et surtout avec de très belles valeurs.
Ce fut un plaisir de leur faire découvrir les séances de soins aquatiques que je pratique dans leur magnifique piscine.
Au plaisir de retourner dans cet endroit qui rayonne le positif- Cleanliness

E&S Very pleasant stay
We stayed for 5 nights chez Kate & Joel in l’Echappee Belle. The owners are very welcoming and friendly. Although the weather was not very nice we were able to swim in the lovely heated pool. We loved the quiet place and the huge garden. Nice breakfast with fresh bread every morning. Kate’s cake and Joel’s wine gave something extra on our stay.

Sarah Gorgeous and very comfortable stay
The room was very comfortable and had everything we needed for our stay. The garden was very pretty and so quiet. We loved the heated pool (great to be able to swim every day, even although it was September) and the boules pitch! Kate and Joel were so welcoming, full of recommendations and very kind. We really appreciated the little touches such as the jam, the cake and the fruit from the trees! Thank you Kate and Joel, you made our stay just perfect.
