The
gently undulating countryside,with its clear and well maintained roads,
offers the cyclist varied and interesting routes.
The village of Baigneux-les-Juifs, situated 50 km to the north west of Dijon, is ideally placed for exploration of the region. Provisions for the cycling day can be found in the village bakers, butchers, minisupermarket and the newsagent sells a range of gifts and souvenirs. La Bagnosienne, with its comfortable accomodation and safe garaging for bikes, is the perfect place to relax after a long day in the saddle. |
| The owners
of « La
Bagnosienne
» happened upon the comfortable but run down
property and
grounds whilst on holiday in Burgundy with friends. Lesley and John
were both
in secure employment in the UK with absolutely no plans to change their
situation for the foreseeable future. Fate, however, took a hand and within months of finding the gently deteriorating buildings, they had thrown in their jobs and pension prospects and taken up residence, with updating and upgrading work beginning shortly afterwards. Work continues but after only one year into the project they are already in a position to offer their visitors well appointed and delightfully comfortable accommodation in a village well known in the area for its wealth of history and warmth of welcome. You won’t regret spending time with this genuinely nice couple whose aim is simply to give their guests a flavour of life in a real French village and a taste of simple but mouth watering fare freshly prepared to order. |

| La Bagnosienne is set
in the heart of the tiny but thriving village of Baigneux-les-Juifs,
with its fascinating geographical and historical connections. Lying at the very source of the river Seine, the village derives its name from its Jewish ancestors who were expelled from his Kingdom by the then King of France, Philippe le Bel in 1306. Evidence of their occupation of the village until 1431 remains, when they were again deported – the order is thought to have been signed at the Château de Villaines-en-Duesmois, a stone's throw from the village. But the interest in this intriguing place doesn't stop there. During the first world war, American soldiers were billeted there and the locals have endless stories to tell of those times, some sad, some romantic, some funny, but all of them captivating. Join in one of the informal tours offered by the local history society (Baigneux A.R.C.HI.V.E.S) and you won't fail to be moved by the special place that is BAIGNEUX-LES-JUIFS. |
