High on the hillside overlooking the Canal de Bourgogne, Châteauneuf has a commanding position. This is one of France’s most beautiful villages with fairytale turreted towers dating back to the twelfth century. Philippe Pot counsellor to the Duke Philippe-le-Bon had the château built around the keep; part of it is crumbling now but the paintings in the gothic chapel dating back to 1487 are still in tact.
Wander around the small streets with their arts and crafts shops, and enjoy a relaxing drink at one of the cafes.
