Hello Carol,
We visited Chateau de L'Eperviere with the Practical Caravan Rally this year. Its based in Gigny-sur-Saone and is a 10/15minute walk to the River Saone. This has a track suitable for walking/cycling either way, and I know that some of our fellow ralliers cycled south to Tournus, in a not too long a time. It has two small lakes suitable for fishing, and the Chateau has a good Take Away with Pizzas and other delights along with a Fine Restaurant in it, with a Bar in what was presumably the Stables. It does have an indoor and outdoor pool, which we did not use, but they looked OK. The site Warden has been there many years and has weekly Wine Testing events, which I found extremely interesting, with good information given.
It is centrally placed to visit Beaune, Chalon sur Saone, Tournus but also take in Briancon (a Castled Village), Cluny (the Abbey), Louens, well worth a visit on market day, but this closes at 12noon, so be early. You can visit the wine area's of Beaujolais, The Haneau Dubouef Wine Museam at Romaneche-Thorins, is definitely worth a visit, its South West of Macon. The area to the West of Beaune has many well know villages, associated with many fine Burgundy wines, we visited the Chateau Mersault.
All in all a good site that is well managed, and the warden speaks excellent English. As we visited outside school holidays, I cannot comment on what it may be like during them.
Best regards,
George
