Organic, local breakfast

The vegetarian breakfast table set in the garden of the bed and breakfast

Breakfast is included. Made with organic, often local produce — a quality table for your well-being. It is always nicer to hit the road after a good breakfast than on an empty stomach!

Homemade jams, herbal teas and cordials, bread and produce from neighbouring farms: the table changes with the seasons. Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free or any other dietary need? Just tell us — we adapt with pleasure, and vegetarian dinners are available on request.

Our village is full of resources and caring producers. That is why we strive to offer you the finest experiences around La Malinette.

🌿 To enjoy all the region's natural goodness, a visit to Baum'Plantes is a must. About ten minutes away, you will find top-quality natural products, balms, herbal teas and herbs.

Authenticity

The house is a piece of history. Built in the 17th century in Mâlain, it has been continuously extended and improved ever since.

📜 Even today, the tradition lives on : from owner to owner, clues are passed on, keepsakes are left behind and the house archives are handed down.

Its thick walls and its setting guarantee the rest you are looking for.

It is with this timeless charm that La Malinette continues to welcome you so warmly today in Burgundy.

About the village of Mâlain

🌲 Mâlain is surrounded by forests and several wash houses collect the springs of the surrounding hills. Take a few hours to wander the trails accessible on foot from La Malinette. We will provide you with the maps you need for your cycling or walking route. For the more adventurous, a hike to the historic site of Alésia is possible along the Roman road from the neighbouring town of Sombernon.

The nearby lakes offer wonderful swimming spots 🏊‍♀️, notably Grosbois-en-Montagne and Panthier. Children will love a day at the Parc de l'Auxois, a leisure park halfway between an aquapark and a natural zoo — perfect for a change of scenery and cooling off in the sun.

Finally, for food lovers, we recommend a short walk to the community farm “Champs Libres”, which offers local products such as bread baked by Cyril with wheat from the surrounding fields, craft beer and goat's cheeses from the village!

The village of Mâlain is renowned in Burgundy for having been the largest settlement in the Côte d'Or in Celtic times. You can still visit the excavations of the ancient city of Mediolanum (by appointment), and the medieval castle currently being rebuilt. Our bed and breakfast in Mâlain is an ideal base for your holidays.

Every two years the Witches' Festival takes place: the whole village puts on a two-day festival that draws up to 30,000 visitors! Here is a video preview:

And much more...
