Private Apartment Rentals

Dijon Rent-a-home: Dijon, Burgundy, France - Click here to go to their website I can vouch for this company owned by the former Captain and wife team of the famous Hotel Barge "La Reine Pedauque". Beatrice speaks English, and their beautiful apartment rentals are in the heart of the old city center, "centre ville", and are within strolling distance of the Palais des Ducs, Place de la Libération, antique shops, restaurants, boutiques and the local market. They compare favorably with hotel rooms, however they offer more space for you and your family (or a second couple). They include fully equipped kitchens, therefore you can "cook in" to save costs. It's nice to have that option. We've stayed at two of their properties, and both exceeded my expectations. Plus they now offer day cruises on the Burgundy canal on their gorgeous new barge! They also have a bike service where they drop you off with a bike up the Burgundy canal, and you can spend a leisurely, lovely day returning to Dijon at your pace. Or spend the day touring wineries with Max!
