Between the vineyards of Burgundy and the Jura mountains, a B&B for sale in Bourgogne-Franche-Comté serves travellers on the Paris-Lyon route and guests from Switzerland, Germany, Belgium and the Netherlands. The region holds several UNESCO World Heritage sites: the Climats of the Burgundy vineyards, Fontenay Abbey, the basilica of Vézelay, the citadel of Besançon and the saltworks of Arc-et-Senans and Salins-les-Bains. The Morvan, the lakes and waterfalls of the Jura, the Haut-Doubs plateaux and the Vosges foothills of Haute-Saône draw walkers, anglers and cyclists, and the canals bring boating holidaymakers.
Properties suited to hosting guests include former winegrowers' houses, Comtois farmhouses, maisons de maître with outbuildings and a few historic residences. This page lists guest houses and chambres d'hôtes for sale across the region, for buyers of a running business, for newcomers planning their own table d'hôtes (evening meals for guests), and for owners getting ready to sell.

A four- or five-bedroom guest house almost always exceeds the typical country house here, which sold for a median €157,000 in 2025 for 108 m², with the top decile starting at €279,670. Its price sits closer to the prestige market: a median of €520,000 over 2021-2025 and €590,000 in 2025. Tourist inland municipalities, the natural benchmark for this business, remain the cheapest at a median €108,000, although they have gained 20.0% since 2021. Departments differ sharply: €224,920 in Doubs, next to Switzerland, against €100,000 in Nièvre. For large homes, Côte-d'Or (€722,500, indicative) leads Saône-et-Loire and Yonne.
Think of the region in three bands. To the west lies wine-and-abbey Burgundy: the Côte de Nuits and Côte de Beaune around Dijon and Beaune, Chablis and Vézelay in Yonne, the Mâconnais and Cluny in Saône-et-Loire, where wine tourism brings short but regular stays from spring to harvest. In the centre, the Morvan and the Nivernais offer forests, lakes, the Nivernais canal and the Loire, with low entry prices and a more seasonal trade. To the east, Franche-Comté combines Besançon, the Loue valley, the high plateaux of Doubs and Jura, the lake district and the Arbois vineyards, with a winter season around Les Rousses and Métabief. Access is by the A6, A31, A36 and A39 motorways, high-speed trains to Dijon, Mâcon-Loché and Besançon, and the airports of Dole-Jura, Geneva, Basel-Mulhouse and Lyon.
In Burgundy you will mostly find limestone houses, winegrowers' homes with vaulted cellars, maisons de maître and Charolais farms. The Comtois farmhouse of Franche-Comté puts home, cowshed and barn under one huge roof: plenty of space for guest rooms, but insulation and heating must be budgeted, as winters on the plateaux are harsh. In the Saône, Doubs, Loire and Yonne valleys, check the flood-risk plan; in mountain areas the loi Montagne restricts building. On the limestone of the Jura range, private septic systems, inspected by the local SPANC service, need particular care. A chambres d'hôtes business is limited to 5 rooms and 15 guests at a time, breakfast included, and must be declared at the mairie (town hall); beyond that, the building falls under public-access safety rules. Serving wine at the table d'hôtes requires at least a restaurant licence and a specific permit. See our guide to opening chambres d'hôtes (in French).
Two land-registry benchmarks frame the sum: €157,000 for a country house and €520,000 for a prestige home. Most guest houses fall in between, towards the top on the Burgundy wine slopes or in the Haut-Doubs, towards the bottom in Nièvre or Haute-Saône. Add works and purchase costs. Our guest house buying guide (in French) runs from the compromis de vente (preliminary contract) to completion before the notaire, the public official who handles property sales.
In the vineyards, wine lovers usually stay one or two nights and value a dinner matched to local wines, from spring to harvest. In the mountains, trade splits between summer hiking and lakes and winter cross-country skiing, with longer stays but quiet shoulder months. Test your occupancy and cost assumptions with our B&B profitability and tax simulator (in French), then ask an accountant to review them.
Gather the town hall declaration, recent accounts, booking history and reviews, mandatory surveys, the septic inspection and any drinks licence. State clearly what belongs to the building and what to the fonds de commerce (the business itself). Then list your property with us.
