Flavigny: Chocolate-box town

 As a film fan. I'm always looking at where a certain film was shot.

In France, there are so many locations. 

In the heart of Burgundy, I couldn't help pass up the opportunity to discuss one of French cinema's loveliest set locations. Based on the novel by the same name, Chocolate epitomizes the French chocolate-box lifestyle - quite literally.

Located in Cote-d'Or Burgundy, Flavigny-sur-Ozerain is a picturesque network of old streets surrounded by countryside. It dates back to the Viking era, when its abbey supposedly served as a hideout for precious local relics during invasions. Brimming with cobbled courtyards, ivy-coated walls and tightly winding allees. It is a deserving owner of the most beautiful villages in France status.
