The Château de Missery (pronounced ‘Miss-ree’) in situated at the heart of Burgundy, in France.
The only foreign Historic Houses member, it is nonetheless a well-established English Home, in a classic 18th Century French Château: your home away from home, for the spell of a week or two!
Built in its present form between 1760 and 1762, the château is surrounded by four medieval towers (one a chapel, another a ping-ping tower!), broad moats and by extensive and well-maintained gardens, on the edge of a quiet village in hilly countryside, amidst Burgundy’s world famous vineyards, some 40 miles west of Beaune and Dijon.
It is ideal for house parties, family holidays, celebrations, weddings, and, as a base for discovering this beautiful and unspoiled region, renowned for its gastronomy, wines, culture and history.
Over the past 40 years the Hawkes family have made many friends, and gathered extensive knowledge about the region. They would be delighted to help you create a perfectly tailored itinerary for your holiday, whether to see the most beautiful châteaux, abbeys or towns; to meet and try the wares of local producers and ‘vignerons’; to cycle around this picturesque countryside; or, to find the best picnic spots.. and of course your way back to the château, for a delicious ‘apéritif’, of gougères and Kir Ducal after a fun day out, at the magical sunset hour, overlooking the Serein Valley.
