The assets of Ahuy
In Côte-d’Or, the quality of life is especially visible in Ahoy ! Located 5 kilometers northwest of Dijon, the town ranked 24th in the latest ranking “French villages where life is good”according to “The Sunday Journal”. The town is quite simply the first in the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region.
The beautiful position is particularly linked to the geographical location of the village of 1,400 inhabitants. Beyond the proximity to Dijon, the inhabitants of Ahuy are very close to the forest of Val-Suzon (with an area of 13,000 hectares), classified as an exceptional forest.
In the center of the village, modern apartment buildings have been erected, with a maximum height of 2 floors. The inhabitants of Ahuy have all the necessary shops nearby: two bakeries, a doctor, a physiotherapist, post office, two hairdressers, a restaurant… the list is long.
For retired Maryse, “It’s awesome ! We come to take our bread and we meet people.” Same thing with coffee “Good wine”, a bar-tabac press run by Martine and Vincent Lebeau. Open from 5:30 a.m. to 8:30 p.m., the place is friendly “we are always there, especially to help the elderly who come for help” point Martin. Among the customers, Baptiste validates the state of mind. “We get to know everyone, and one thing led to another, I got to know the whole neighborhood in 4 months.”
