Fontenoy-le-Château

Base manager Didier Ketterle welcomes you to Fontenoy le Château. Fontenoy- le-Chateau is a small market town, divided by the River Coney, with bags of character. It used to be a large town during the Middle Ages, but has since shrunk. The atmosphere though has remained the same and walking around the town’s cobbled streets is a very pleasant experience indeed..

St-Jean-de-Losne

Base manager Nicole Gilles welcomes you to St. Jean de Losne. St Jean De Losne is a small town located on the junction of several different waterways. It is still a large business center for barges but it is also one of the largest pleasure boat marinas in Europe. From St Jean De Losne, you are only 20kms from the vineyards with famous names such as Gevrey Chambertin or Clos Vougeot.
