Paul, cycling enthusiast & "professional" whose services you will appreciate during your stay (all at the same time monitor, guide, hirer & repairer) and Claire open the doors to you of a lovely authentic old "gatekeeper's house" from the end of the 19th century steeped in history & carefully revisited as a gentle holiday resort, nestled in peace in the middle of the Clunisoise & Mâconnaise countryside on the edge of a bucolic wooded meadow, formerly attached to the Cluny-Mâcon railway line (in service from 1870 to 1968) now transformed into a "greenway" (bicycle route that passes in front of the gîte). Magnificent preserved environment, nestled in the hollow of a verdant valley nestled under the wooded ridges of a vast wild forest massif classified & protected in "Zone Natura 2000" for its remarkable ecosystem, close to the first vineyards of "Val Lamartinien" and very close to the picturesque little village of Berzé-le-Châtel, famous for its majestic 10th century medieval fortress (visible in the background), an exceptional heritage jewel of Burgundy (sumptuous castle with, among other things, fourteen towers, a chapel Carolingian and several "French" & "English" gardens). Spacious cottage of very good comfort. Warm country character with contemporary accents. Zen & soft atmosphere. Cozy & cozy. Very charming. Large terrace opening onto the meadows, exposed & shaded by two imposing ash trees. Pleasant lawned & vegetated garden offering a beautiful unobstructed view of the surrounding countryside.
