Thank you so much for such a wonderful week in Dijon. The apartment was so comfortable that I believe you put sleeping pills in the water because we slept until 9 or 10 every morning. Dijon was spectacular. You are certainly the hostess with the mostest ( this is a saying in english that means you are great). I am so glad to have finally met you after a year of being pen pals. I hope it won't be too long before we meet up again. Maybe you could come to San Francisco one day.ciaociao. Susan(Fodorite) and Jim. (San Francisco,CA, USA, March 2007)

Chère Corinne, merci encore pour votre gentillesse.Nous avons passé Lory et moi une semaine super, un peu grace au temps, mais surtout parce que ce lieu où nous avons séjourné était aussi joli que sur les photos que vous m'aviez envoyées. Nous avons vraiment eu, la qualité, la décoration et la propreté comme un 4 étoiles. Je garderai un merveilleux souvenir de cette semaine et de ce lieu (que ce soit la ville ou l'appartement) j'ai été comblée. Merci encore Corinne, et croyez bien que je reviendrai un jour prochain.

Sincèrement, Monique et Lory (Sarcelles, FRANCE, Avril 2007)

Dear Corinne, For three marvellous weeks, your town and your home was our town and our home. We felt so welcomed and spoilt. Thank you. Alice and Jason (Melbourne, AUSTRALIA , May 2007)

Dear Coco, Thank you so much for allowing us to make "your" home in Dijon "our" home in Dijon. The apartment itself is lovely and the location is perfect but it was the thoughful special touches -the flowers, the library, the cakes and sweets, the bathrobes and slippers, the pre-set table - that made this so much more than just another place to stay on our journey. We so much enjoyed meeting the "famous" Coco, Ira and his Lady Wife and it was also a special treat to meet Axel and (almost) meet Léo! Thank you again for your hospitality and generosity. Harriet (Fodorite) and Ron (Toronto, CANADA , May 2007)

Dear Coco, thank you so much for your warm welcome and generous hospitality. We had a great stay in Dijon using your wonderful apartment as a base. Its perfect location made it an excellent place to stay and explore Dijon and the surrounding regions. We had heard so much about your apartment and it exceeded all expectations. We hope to return to Dijon some day and meet up with you again. Miriam (Mideba on Fodors) and Serge (Melbourne, AUSTRALIA , June 2007)

Dear Corinne
We could not have chosen a better place than Dijon for our holiday and this beautiful apartment made it even more enjoyable. We were delighted with all the special touches provided by such a caring hostess. "My home in Dijon" truly felt like a home away from home.
Judy & Pierrette (Micheline on Fodors) (Kanata, CANADA , June 2007)

Thank you very much Corinne, we enjoyed it here so much. It's Sebastien's home town and my first visit with him. So you made a special visit even more so. See you in Edinburgh perhaps! Barry and Sebastien (Edinburgh, Scotland, UK, June 2007)



Thank you for the opportunity to experience Dijon beyond as a "tourist". We enjoyed the Michelin stared restaurants but also enjoyed going to the market and cooking at home. The produce is amazing and taste so much like what they are and supposed to be! We will definitely recommend this experience to others! Thanks again, Shan and Andrew on honeymoon (San Francisco, CA, USA, July 2007)



I had a wonderful stay in Dijon. The little touches in the apartment were very much appreciated. I especially liked being able to share my adventures with family back home thanks to the use of the computer and internet. Thanks again for your wonderful hospitality. Dawn Schellenberg (Holland Landing, Ontario Canada July 2007)



Our stay in your ("our"!) lovely little apartment was one of the best parts of our trip. We enjoyed so much luxuriating in our own space yet so easily close to everything. Truly a home-away-from-home. We very much enjoyed going to the market and relaxing over our French delicacies in the comfort of the apartment. Thank you too so much for the walking tour of the area around the apartment. This really did help us getting our footing. It was also such a pleasure to chat with you and your son. Our stay was brief it so it seems that we could have seen and done so much more. Juliette and David (Seattle, WA, USA, July 2007)





Dear Corinne, we have made quite a few visits to Dijon over the past few years and have always enjoyed our stay But I must say your flat at 6 Rue Rameau has been exceptionally comfortable and convenient. Although it is right in the center of Dijon, it has been very quiet inside the flat. For sight-seeing and shopping it couldn't be better located. Expect to see us again in the future. Russ and Honor Haidar (Milford Haven,Wales, UK, August 2007)

Dear Corinne, your/my home in Dijon has been a beautiful respite on our around the world travels. To experience our at home conveniences intertwined with the riches of Burgundy has been simply amazing. The detail you have incorporated into your apartment does not go unnoticied. From the candles to the overseas calls we have wanted for nothing. All these added conveniences certainly have made Bella and I feel that this have been our home away from home. We wish you every success in the future and celebrate your efforts!

Accueil chaleureux, l'hébergement est comment dire... : "On se sent "comme" voire "mieux que chez soi" Bravo! Adresse à conseiller à tous. Merci à Corinne. Denise et Patrice (Metz, FRANCE, Août 2007)



Just wanted to drop a quick note to thank you for all that you did while Ingrid & I were in Dijon. Your apartment is wonderful – it was the highlight of our trip as far as accommodations went by a long shot. I hope to bring my wife out to visit Dijon & Beaune (Paris) in the not too distant future and would love to stay at your place again. I want to spend more time in Dijon next time because I really did not get a chance to explore the town as much as I would have liked. An excuse to return, no? Thanks again for providing us with such a wonderful place to stay while visiting Europe. You must visit Montana some day so that we can show you some Western hospitality.

Andrew and Ingrid (Ingrid is studying now at the Burgundy School Of Business in Dijon ) (Billings, Montana, USA August 2007)



This has been a terrific experience, both the city and the apartment have exceeded all expectations! There is so much to like in Dijon and the apartment has been very comfortable and convenient for us throughout our stay. Coco, you are a good hostess... We really hope to return. Merci!

Dear Corinne, Thanks so much for your house in Dijon (more than a house, a home).(...)Thanks for the mustard, the jam, the fruit, the cake, the nuts (...) We loved the colour coordination and the freshness, the shower, the fantastic bed - the TV the computer, what a bonus!! Thanks so much.

Guy and Trish (Canberra, ACT, AUSTRALIA Sept 2007)





Coco, we can only say "ditto" (same) to all the comments from your previous guests. Your apartment was perfect - beautifully appointed and perfectly located. You were so charming to stock it with everything we could need/want and to be so available for whatever we asked. We will recommend to all our friends in Hawaï and family across the US.

Coco, Thank you so much for your hospitality. It was great to meet you and stay here. We loved Dijon and we had a lovely time. Sincerely Jose and Lourdes (San Antonio, Texas, US Sept 2007)





This was my second time staying at Coco's flat. This time I brought my husband along. I got to see more of Dijon because we did not encounter all day long rain like my first time. Coco took me to Flavigny, location of the movie 'Le Chocolat'. Staying at the flat is like a respite from daily sight seeing. The flat is like a home away from home. Coco, I like the new remote/security system. I don't know about Tom but I will be back. May be, I will cook more meals there. Pungjai (georgiegirl on Fodors board) and Tom Jung (Birmingham, Alabama, USA Sept 2007)







Merci pour l'accueil chaleureux à Dijon, ville que je connais maintenant un peu grâce à ce séjour dans votre bel appartement Corinne. 12 jours, ça passe vite et j'ai envie de rester encore 12 jours. Mais il faut dire qu'il y a d'autres belles régions de France à découvrir, tellement ce pays est riche en patrimoine. Je retournerai, un jour, sans doute en Bourgogne car il me reste des chemins à faire (à vélo!) et des vins à déguster.

Joan and I spent most of our time in the Dijon streets, walking around your beautiful city and enjoying the French culture. We both had a memorable time - thanks to you and your hospitality. The Beaux Arts museum was a treasure, and right across the street! I'll make certain to announce our experience in some way on the message boards you frequent. A bientot!

Harvey and Joan Smith (Tarrytown "Sleepy Hollow" NY, USA, Oct 2007)





Wow! Dijon is all we expected and more. Three things making our Dijon experience truly wonderful are : its ancient history, our "Home in Dijon" which is exactly that : a beautiful, comfortable furnished, laaarge, homey apartment in the center of old Dijon, and the third item is the closeness to museums, markets restaurants, shops, bakeries, etc. We enjoyed all the above for a solid week. Having the kitchen allowed me to purchase fresh vegetables and fresh pork roast, when well seasoned and slowly cooked for several hours was the best pork Kay and I eaten that we can remember. Our travels in Europe have taken us to Italy, Austria, Switzerland and now France, we will miss our "Home in Dijon" very much. We thank Coco our hostess for her insight in providing this wonderful apartment and for her caring attitude toward her guests and their comfort. Mes compliments à Coco.

This week in Dijon has been a wonderful opportunity to relax during our trip. The accommodation has been like a home, which we return to each day after our adventures in the city and surrounding countryside. Particularly warm and comfortable with the temperatures outside around 0°!! Thank you for your overwhelming hospitality, your introductory tour of the city and all the "extras" that have made our stay so memorable.

George and Mary Watson (Grafton, NSW AUSTRALIA Nov 2007)

Dear coco, I've worked as a travel reporter for 3 1/2 years, but I have to say your flat is definitely better than many big boring hotels I ever stayed all around the world. The location is perfect for going anywhere, and the deco inside is warm and elegant. After I come back, I will recommend it to all our friends who would like to visit Dijon, and mention it in my new book or my blog in the future. My husband Kyle and I would thank you again for guiding us out of all those one way streets in the city! And everything you've done during our stay. Hopefully, we could come back again for another trip soon! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Kyle and Jesica (Taiwan, Taipei, Dec 2007)

Thank you Corinne for a lovely stay in your very special apartment. It was a pleasure to be in the middle of the historic old town and such new surroundings. We enjoyed our visit to Beaune and our Owl walk. Your friendliness and care made this a visit to remember. We wish you a very merry Christmas - perhaps with some snow!! Best wishes
