Home description
Recently renovated and redecorated throughout, this south facing cottage offers a country farmhouse feel with modern comforts. Situated in a sleepy country hamlet the secluded garden offers a splendid view down the wooded valley whatever the season. Luxuriantly green under spring or summer sun, spectacular red and gold in autumn or dazzling white when covered in winter snow. Walking and cycling start at the front gate, with country lanes and forest trails to be explored. Numerous lakes and rivers within easy reach make the area an angler's paradise. A little further afield is wine tasting, sightseeing and for the more active, adventure activities. At 1 hour 15 mins by TGV even Euro Disney is a possible day out.

The Burgundy / Saone-et-Loire region
Burgundy is mid way between Paris and the Mediterranean coast which makes it warmer than the south of England in spring and summer. On the other hand, being well inland (2 hours drive from Switzerland) winters are colder and there is a good possibility of snow at Christmas. The region is renowned for its gastronomic delights and particularly its fine wines. Many of the most famous names are within a short driving distance. Burgundy has played an important role in French history and consequently has much of architectural interest; ancient Celtic and Gaulois settlements, Roman remains and more “recent” chateaux and the palaces of the Dukes of Burgundy. The region also boasts a geographical diversity; from sleepy farming hamlets to bustling commercial centres such as Chalon, Beaune and Dijon; from the flat plain of the river Saône valley and the vine covered ridges in the centre of Burgundy to the steep wooded slopes of the Morvan National Park; from fast flowing mountain streams and waterfalls to tranquil lakes. Rest assured, Burgundy has something for everyone.
Marmagne area
The nearest restaurant is a 30 minute walk or a 2 minute drive from the cottage. Marmagne is the closest village (4km) and has 2 restaurants, 2 bars, a tabac (newspapers & cigarettes), butcher, baker, small general store, chemist, post office, library, doctor's surgery and a tennis court. There is also an extensively stocked cave (wine cellar) where you can taste before buying. Autun is a 15min drive away. Not only is it a large town offering supermarkets, restaurants, a swimming pool (outdoor lido in summer), boating lake, bowling alley and a golf course, it is also of architectural interest. Being an ancient Roman stronghold and administrative centre it has remarkably well preserved ramparts and an amphitheatre. Autun’s cathedral is on the Northern European pilgrimage route down to Lourdes. The indoor/ outdoor market is well worth a visit. Le Creusot is also a 15min drive away. Being larger than Autun, it has more shops. There is also golf, a swimming pool, bowling alley and the Chateau with its park and animal enclosure. Le Parc des Coombes on the hill overlooking Le Creusot has karting and a number of rides and amusements. A narrow gauge train does a tour of the hill and a return trip down into Le Creusot. The Morvan National Park starts a 15 minute drive away. Covering a vast area, it offers a large selection of things to do and see. Archeological digs of ancient Gaul settlements, Celtic pathways, forest paths, mountain springs, waterfalls and lakes. Tourists are catered for with centres for hiking, pony trekking, fishing and a whole host of water sports.
