Pleasant, unspoilt setting, in the heart of the agricultural & natural Countryside, between a bocage plain dotted with bucolic ponds & vast, wild Forests, close to a number of signposted footpaths, including "balades vertes" (a very rich network of similar paths criss-crossing the region, to be explored on foot or mountain bike), 3.5 km from the "Cycloroute71" (Tour de la Saône-et-Loire by bike), 5 km from the Voie Bleue along the Saône (linked to EuroVélo6), 20 km from the Voie Verte de la Bresse Jurasienne, 18 km from the river Marina at Verdun-sur-le-Doubs (nestled at the confluence of the Saône & Doubs rivers) and some 40 km from the Vineyards of the Jura, Côtes Chalonnaises and the famous Côtes de Beaune & Hautes Côtes de Beaune (various wine routes to discover, including the "Route des Grands Vins" & the prestigious "Route des Grands Crus"). Privileged location on the borders of Bresse Bourguignonne - birthplace of the famous AOC Bresse poultry - not far from the Chalonnais, Tournugeois-Clunisois (labelled "Pays d'Art et d'Histoire") & Pays Beaunois.
