Chateau De La Marquise Thesut

A stunning 19th century château in southern Burgundy with luxurious en suite bedrooms, a heated pool, gym and wellness amenities.

The castle was everything and more than we expected.

Even though there was as much rain as shine, we really enjoyed our week in this beautiful castle.

The flies and mosquitos had us under control and Ash even tried out the alarm system (at 8.30 in the morning ;))

Beyond the apple orchard and centuries-old oaks, Château de Lans rests within its own private parkland, exuding discreet grandeur. This 19th-century French residence, framed by two distinctive round towers, offers a rare balance of history, seclusion and modern comfort in the heart of Burgundy, just 5km from Chalon-sur-Saône.

Inside, oak parquet flooring, exposed beams and historic fireplaces retain the château’s original character, while refined furnishings and thoughtful renovations ensure 21st century ease. Seven en-suite bedrooms accommodate up to 14 guests with space and discretion. Soundproofed walls, air-conditioning in five rooms and a seamless layout prioritise comfort throughout, while the elegant lounge and dining room are flooded with natural light from the tall windows overlooking the pool and parkland. The farmhouse-style kitchen is equipped with everything you should need to prepare delicious breakfasts and family feasts.

Wellness and leisure are woven into the experience. A hammam and sauna, a massage room under the eaves and a brilliant gym offer modern indulgence, while evenings are made for reading by the fireplace, film nights in the lounge or lingering dinners on the poolside terrace. The 12m long heated salt-water swimming pool will delight every guest and there sun loungers for warm afternoons relaxing.

Positioned in the heart of southern Burgundy, Château de Lans is ideally placed for exploring the region’s wine-rich landscapes. A short drive from Chalon-sur-Saône and just over half an hour from Beaune, guests can discover prestigious vineyards, gastronomic markets and medieval charm. Yet it’s the château’s own history that captivates most, spanning medieval origins, noble lineage and a 19th-century rebirth by the Countess of Duranti. Every stone and beam tells a story.

Whether gathering with friends or seeking a refined family getaway, Château de Lans offers a deeply rooted, elegantly modern escape in one of Burgundy’s most captivating corners.
