The iconic show hosted by the great Stéphane Bern is back this year, and Semur-en-Auxois might just win the title of France’s Favorite Village 2025 on France TV, and guess what? It’s not just there for show!
Semur-en-Auxois: A Movie-Set Experience
Do you love old stones, cobblestone streets, and views that make you want to whip out your camera at every corner? Welcome to Semur-en-Auxois, where every step takes you back several centuries. Picture a village perched on a rocky outcrop, surrounded by imposing ramparts and overlooking the Armançon valley. The kind of place where you almost expect to bump into a knight in shining armor.
The towers of the Sauvigny gate, the Notre-Dame collegiate church, the half-timbered houses... it's 100% Instagrammable. Add to that a peaceful ambiance, with the birds singing and the leaves rustling, and you have the perfect recipe for a weekend escape from the hustle and bustle of Dijon.
Why vote for Semur-en-Auxois, Favorite Village of the French in 2025?
Because we love to play the local card, of course! Semur-en-Auxois is one of the villages competing to become the Favorite Village of the French 2025, the iconic show from France TV. And honestly, we believe it wholeheartedly (medieval style)!
The competition is a fantastic opportunity to showcase our beautiful region. And let’s be honest, would you rather see a rainy Breton village win or this sunny gem from Burgundy? To vote, it's right here: link to the show's website.
While we wait to celebrate (fingers crossed), why not take a trip over there? And for more ideas for medieval escapes, we’ll share this top list of most beautiful villages around Dijon.
