Can you please help me remember which French chateau we visited? At Dijon, we inquired at the visitor center about staying the night at a nearby chateau. One was recommended and we hailed a cab. We drove on and on (thought we were being kidnapped) and were delivered to a quaint chateau.

The property had an unfilled moat around it. It had a modest swimming pool, unfilled in early March, 2001. The main chateau was run by a charming blonde woman with a small boy on a tricycle and a dark haired man who limped. The man was a pilot I believe, and I think the property was affiliated with an airstrip.

They served us kir and made us a wonderful meal. Our room was in separate building and had antique furniture with a canopied four poster bed and nice bath.

Our French was so lousy and their English was so limited, I am not sure we ever knew where we were. We had a really wonderful experience, and I just wish I could remember where we had it!

The Chateau de la Chassagne looks like a possibility.

Thanks for the hints. I will research both of them.

Thanks so much for jogging my memory. The property was Hotel Chateau de la Berchere in Nuits-Saint-Georges.

We had just spent a week in Paris and I was so exhausted from living on adrenaline that I slept for 13 hours that night in that four poster bed.
