Location

The village of Mosson

Mosson is a village located in Burgundy (Côte d’Or) 8km north of 

Châtillon-sur-Seine (along an old Roman Road), between Troyes and Dijon (on the N71).

The village lies on the “Route de Crémant” and the hiking trail between the source of the Seine and Le Havre where the Seine flows into the sea (GR2).

The village has 70 inhabitants and 2 wineries: “Geeraerdt” and “Hanuszek”. 

On these domains you can taste and buy crémant, wine, and other local delicacies. Geeraerdt also sells beautiful homemade truffles and Hanuszek is also the mayor.

The Côte d’Ór lives up to its name, because in the spring the fields are golden yellow with rapeseed; in the summer the golden grain ripples; in the autumn the vines are golden and the golden liquid of crémant sparkles in the bottle all year round.

From the village you can make beautiful walks (GR2), but a small evening walk is also worthwhile with sights such as the “Donjon” castle, where Jeanne d’Arc once slept there and the ancient washing place.

Châtillon-sur-Seine

The town of Châtillon-sur-Seine (5 K South of Mosson) is fully equipped. It has a Tourist office, large supermarkets such as Auchan, Intermarché, Lidl and Aldi, and a rich history and beautiful view over the River Seine. 

The regular market is on Saturday morning.

There is a hospital, pharmacies, vet, dentists etc.; everything a town needs.

There’s a nice museum with Roman excavations and the vase of Vix.

This bronze vase of 1.64m is about 3000 years old and is preserved in its entirety in the tomb of a Gallic princess, in the village of Vix, 4 km from Mosson.
