Champlitte Single Family

Living and Doing Business in the Heart of France

Have you always dreamed of a new life in France? Owning a charming restaurant, a brocante shop, chambres d’hôtes or gîtes, while living in a characterful property surrounded by French history and countryside? Then this exceptional opportunity in the picturesque village of Champlitte may be exactly what you are looking for.

Located in the historic centre of Champlitte, an authentic French village in the Haute-Saône department of the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region, this former furniture workshop has been carefully transformed by its current owners into a successful café, restaurant and brocante business, complete with a spacious residence and garden. A unique place where living, working and enjoying the French lifestyle come together.

Charming restaurant and café

The commercial premises feature a welcoming restaurant and café with seating for approximately 50 guests, a bar, restroom facilities and a children’s play area. The first floor accommodates the brocante shop, a professional kitchen, additional reception areas and a veranda.

The sunny terrace, beautifully covered with grapevines, can accommodate around 60 guests and has become a popular meeting place for both locals and visitors. A permanent stage offers opportunities for live music, events and cultural gatherings.

Over the years, the business has built up a loyal international clientele. In addition to local guests, many visitors from the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, Switzerland and the United Kingdom regularly stop by. Its location along the famous Via Francigena pilgrimage route, connecting Canterbury and Rome, also ensures a steady flow of passing travellers.

Spacious residence

The adjoining residence offers approximately 95 m² of living space per floor. The first floor features a bright apartment with charming brocante-inspired interiors and a spacious terrace. The large attic presents excellent potential for further development, whether as a loft, guest accommodation or additional living space.

The property also includes an impressive vaulted cellar, ideal for conversion into a wine bar, cocktail bar, event venue or other hospitality concept.

Optional: 1,300 m² garden

Within walking distance of the property lies a beautiful garden of approximately 1,300 m², situated next to the Château de Champlitte. The garden features a variety of fruit trees, a century-old walnut tree, a water well and a garden shed. This garden is available as an optional purchase.

Surroundings

Champlitte offers everything that makes life in France so appealing: historic streets, charming restaurants, schools, a campsite, walking and cycling routes, as well as extensive forests, lakes and rivers. The cities of Dijon, Besançon, Langres and Dole are all within comfortable driving distance.

This is a turnkey opportunity for anyone seeking to combine a lifestyle change with a business venture in France. The asking price includes the operating business, licences, liquor licence and existing turnover.
