Châteauneuf, Medieval commune in Côte-d'Or, France

Châteauneuf is a small commune in Côte-d'Or in eastern Burgundy that covers roughly 10 square kilometers of rolling land. The settlement sits in a valley with elevation changes between 342 and 542 meters and consists of a handful of houses clustered around a central core.

The settlement was called Mont-Franc from October 1793 to July 1814 during the French Revolution and early Imperial period. This renaming was a common practice in many French communes during those years of political upheaval.

The village displays typical Burgundian architecture with stone houses and narrow lanes that reflect how rural settlements looked across several centuries. These buildings and streets shape how the place appears today and give visitors a sense of regional life from the past.

The village is easy to reach by road from neighboring communes and offers limited facilities on site. For food and lodging, it makes sense to visit larger towns in the area where more options are available.

The village was admitted to the association Les Plus Beaux Villages de France in 1996, an honor given to places with special character and preservation. This recognition shows that despite its tiny size, it holds a notable place in the region.

The most beautiful historic villages of France: stones, alleys, and open-air stories

Throughout France's regions lie villages that seem frozen in time. These places are built from stone, wood, and light, where history is written across facades and paved streets. Some nestle in valleys, others cling to cliffs or look out over vineyards. You find old houses, squares with arcades,...
