A Napoleonic mansion in tree-dotted grounds nestled in a medieval winegrowing town in Burgundy, two hours from Paris. In 1815, Napoleon Bonaparte returned from his exile on the island of Elba, travelling up to Paris. He stopped off in Burgundy from 17 to 19 March. There he met up with Marshal Ney. His troops bivouacked on the outskirts of this town and on the site of this property. Almost half a century later, in 1854, during the Second French Empire, a family of Parisian magistrates built a town mansion here in a Napoleon III style. This mansion was transformed in 1980 and became a 25-room hotel. Today, each of the 25 hotel rooms here bears the name of a marshal who served under Napoleon I. The old dwelling is made of dressed stone and stands on a large avenue. Its slate mansard roof is punctuated with arched dormers and bull’s-eye windows. The property’s original metal railings still enclose it. Pillars of dressed stone are evenly spaced out along these railings, which stand on a low stone wall. The pedestrian entrance is a metal gate framed between two pillars of dressed stone, each crowned with a cast-iron vase. Beyond this gate, a footpath in the middle of a gravel court leads up to a small flight of stone steps adorned with a pair of Medici vases. Vehicles can enter the property via two other original entrances, which are broader. They are located on both sides of the pedestrian entrance and are framed between brick and stone pillars. A large two-floor caretaker’s house stands beside the outdoor entrance area. Nearby, around 30 cars can be parked in a car park on the property. The mansion’s rear elevation faces the property’s vast enclosed grounds dotted with majestic age-old trees and clusters of flowering plants. There are a few terraces on the grounds and an authentic stone table with old stone benches. This beautiful outdoor space includes a heated swimming pool too. This pool is 10 metres long and 5 metres wide. It is heated with mains gas. Lastly, there is an old greenhouse on the grounds. It is made of wrought iron and needs to be restored.

In Burgundy, an hour and ten minutes from Paris, an 18th century mansion house. This mansion house stands in the midst of extensive wooded, enclosed parklands in the middle of the town. Spiked, wrought iron gates open into parklands, laid out in a French formal manner and bordered by old walls, pleasantly covered with wisteria and vines. In front of the residence is a parterre planted with old roses. Various species of tall trees, over a hundred years old, set the tone. Behind the building is a small, medieval vegetable garden, planted with different herbs. Historical background This mansion house was built in 1780 as part of the major urban planning works, including the construction of the town hall and the development of the banks of the river Yonne, that took place in the town in the 18th century. A middle-class home, it stands but a few metres from the political and military decision-making centres and accommodated such illustrious characters as Prince Ferdinand-Philippe, Duke of Orléans, oldest son of King Louis-Philippe. A private ball was held in his honour in the mansion house’s staterooms. This historic property was then lived in by Fernand-Schneider, a great military character, one of whose sons married one of the daughters of Jacques-Chaband-Delmas. The Schneider family remained here until 2010.
