Many many years ago, a newlywed couple selected Europe as their honeymoon destination. On this first visit to the wine region in France, they dined in outdoor cafés in Beaune, drove through small villages, and took a magnificent balloon ride over the Burgundy countryside. It was love at first sight.They continued to visit France, year after year after year. Finally, in June 2003, after he retired, they put their toe in the water and were able to hang out in France for four months.
France had become a passion. They longed to live there for a very long stay, but could not figure out how to make the dream a reality. On February 26, 2004, they took yet another "tentative" plunge. This time a few more toes went in the water. They rented out their house for a year, and with dog in tow, made a commitment to living in Burgundy.
And what a year it was – truly a year of delightful discoveries. And after the year ended, they began to look for a place to buy in Burgundy. They eventually stumbled into purchasing a small apartment in a great location within the walls of Beaune.
The little place in Beaune is truly a gem, and is available for others to appreciate. Chez La Vie is a place to breathe in all that is so wonderful about Burgundy. The comfortable sweet apartment provides the opportunity to live in France, and appreciate those moments when you say to yourself:
It doesn't get any better than this...
