Hidden in the historic heart of Autun, Burgundy, this 15th-century canonical house offers peace, privacy, and centuries of charm. Just steps from the Cathedral of Saint-Lazare, it feels worlds away from the bustle, with only the cathedral bells breaking the silence.
Autun, once Augustodunum, is rich in Roman and medieval heritage. Paris is three hours by car, Lyon two, and the TGV station just 30 minutes away connects to both cities in under 90 minutes.
Highlights:
- 15th-century canonical house in central Autun
- 245 m² of living space on a 680 m² plot
- Elegant reception rooms and cathedral views
- Attic with inverted boat-hull frame (c.1470)
- Independent boudoir apartment above the porch
- Barn, vaulted wine cellar, and courtyard parking
- Enclosed garden with four formal flowerbeds
Inside, light filters through mullioned windows onto terracotta floors and beamed ceilings. The rooms, graced with fireplaces, parquet floors, and wood paneling, blend historic detail with modern comfort.
A timeless retreat in Burgundy’s most historic town, quiet, storied, and beautifully preserved.
