Le hameau de MARENE

A haven of greenery, all comforts, in a remarkable natural area, the Dombes, with a garden and swimming pool. Welcome to the hamlet of Marène

In the heart of the DOMBES region, halfway between Pérouges and the Villars les Dombes bird park, just outside Lyon, the gîte was originally built on a farm that used to be part of the Montellier fortified castle. At the end of the Dombes farmhouse of this agricultural operation (cereals and rearing calves from September to May), the gîte welcomes 7 people (3 bedrooms and 2 shower rooms) in a verdant setting. From the courtyard and private garden, you enter into a bright living room and spacious lounge. A functional, fully-equipped kitchen area, a mini laundry room with washing machine and tumble dryer, and a separate toilet with washbasin. A small office area with built-in cupboard leads to the master bedroom (1 x 160*200 bed) with en-suite shower room. A white staircase leads from the center of the living space to the first floor, with 2 bedrooms: one with 1 140x190 bed and dressing room, and the second with 2 90x190 beds and 1 120x190 single bed; bathroom with Italian shower and separate toilet. Central heating (wood pellets and double-flow air conditioning). The swimming pool shared with other guests and the owner (4.1 * 8.5, depth 0.9 to max. 2m with regular slope) with its low shelter and sheltered terrace are available from mid-April to mid-September (10am-7pm). Nearby: a lake for fishing enthusiasts. The Dombes plateau, with its thousand ponds, is ideal for cycling (some bicycles are available at the gîte) and will enchant you with its peaceful nature and cuisine. Discover the markets of Meximieux and Chatillon-sur-Chalaronne with their covered market halls, and a little further afield, the Lyon metropolis with its historical and gastronomic heritage, the capital of BRESSE with its Royal Monastery, or the Bugey region with its renowned vineyards. The filling of the swimming pool and its use by tenants may be restricted in application of the "drought" decrees issued by the Ain prefecture.
