Canon City is one of House Crazy Sarah’s former stomping grounds when she lived in Colorado for many years so she has had the privilege of dining at this adorable French restaurant a few times.

She was sorry to see that it is listed for sale at $450,000. Sorry, because she can’t afford to buy it, and also sorry because when it sells, it may no longer be Le Petit Chablis.

Here’s a little backstory…

Le Petit Chablis has been owned and operated by Daniel & Michelle Petit since 1989.

The couple opened their French cuisine restaurant after three years of renovations to the 1888 Victorian home that transformed it into a unique dining experience. The building has a total of 3,313 finished square feet.

Daniel Petit, a professional chef since 1977, trained in the Burgundy region of France. His wife Michelle, has long been the congenial hostess and his business partner extraordinaire.

The listing states that “Current Le Petit Chablis business and real estate included. Owner Carry terms available.”

Seems like the Petits are selling the place, lock, stock, and barrel.

Which is disappointing, but they are probably ready for retirement after so many years in the grind of running and owning their own business.

It’s sad to see them go – the couple has been a beloved fixture in Canon City for so many years. But they will probably end up somewhere fabulous – like the south of France!

The listing says that zoning of this former Victorian mansion is now Commercial, but according to the City Code the property can again become a type of residence again such as a Bed & Breakfast, Boarding or Rooming house, or VBRO – with a special review.
