"The open countryside just outside the city, right in the heart of the Haut-Mâconnais Vineyards!" An elegant, authentic 18th-century residence, fully restored and nestled in a peaceful setting in the heart of a picturesque, typical Burgundian wine-growing village, steeped in history and perfectly preserved, 5.5 km from the charming gastronomic and shopping town of Tournus, home to a world-renowned abbey site (all amenities available locally, including supermarkets and numerous sports and recreational facilities). The surrounding area offers a magnificent rural and natural setting—gentle, rolling vineyard-covered mountains blending agriculture with unspoiled nature, largely protected as “Natura 2000” and ZNIEFF areas due to their rich ecosystems—overlooking the Saône Valley in the foothills of the Southern Burgundy Mountain (a vast wilderness area to explore on foot or by mountain bike). An exceptionally prime location along the Romanesque Church Trail and various marked hiking trails, including several “green walks” (a vast network of similar hiking trails winding through Vineyards and the great outdoors, waiting to be explored in the region) and the renowned GTM mountain bike trail, certified “VTT FFC” (Grand Tour of the Southern Burgundy Massif, connected to a vast network of similar mountain bike trails crisscrossing the massif in a “star” pattern), adjacent to the “Burgundy Wine Route,” which is extended by the “Route des Grands Vins,” 1 km from the GR76 trail, which runs alongside the famous GR “Chemin de Cluny” (ViaCluny) as well as the legendary “Chemin des Moines” (which once connected the abbeys of Cîteaux and Cluny), 2 km from the “Cycloroute 71” (Tour de la Saône-et-Loire by bike), 6 km from the “Voie Bleue” (running along the banks of the Saône), which runs alongside the “Grande Boucle de Bourgogne du Sud” greenway, and 16 km from the renowned Mont-Saint-Romain downhill mountain bike trail. A prime location in the heart of the Mâconnais region and its famous Vineyards (Chardonnay AOC), at the crossroads of the Ain, the Tournugeois-Clunisois (designated a “Pays d’Art et d’Histoire”), the Chalonnais and Burgundian Bresse, not far from the vineyards of the Côtes Chalonnaises, the Beaujolais, and the world-renowned Côtes de Beaune and Hautes Côtes de Beaune. Ideal for exploring the region (A6 highway 6 km away): 10 km from Lugny (“the little capital of the Haut-Mâconnais,” home to the leading producer of Burgundy wines and a renowned tree-top adventure park), 11 km from the medieval town of Brancion, 12 km from the rare Truchère Nature Reserve (a remarkable protected ecosystem), 12 km from Cuisery (listed among France’s very exclusive eight “Villages du Livre”), 17 km from Pont de Vaux (a Marina on the Saône), 17 km from the Blanot Caves, 26 km from the medieval village of Saint-Gengoux-le-National, designated a “Cité de Caractère de Bourgogne-Franche-Comté,” 29 km from Mâcon (Mâcon Loché train station 35 km away), 31 km from the illustrious abbey town of Cluny, 32 km from Louhans, 33 km from Chalon-sur-Saône (designated a “City of Art and History”) & 38 km from the magnificent natural gem of La Roche de Solutré, designated a “Grand Site de France.” A perfect and deeply inspiring retreat, steeped in old-world charm, for an ultra-relaxing “green getaway” with the family!

With her passion for history & heritage, Josette opens the doors of an elegant, authentic 18th-century mansion, completely revisited as a charming holiday home, next to the superb 1583 manor house it occupies (also perfectly restored), quietly situated on the edge of a lane, a stone's throw from the first vineyards, in the heart of a picturesque & charming typical Burgundy village, steeped in history & perfectly preserved (beautiful neo-Romanesque church from the 19th century, washhouses & numerous carefully restored "cadoles"). Total tranquility in the unspoilt Countryside of the Haut-Mâconnais, at once urban & rural, nestled in a valley of vineyards & meadows overlooked by the wooded ridges of the vast surrounding wild forests, in an area protected as a ZNIEFF for its wealth of flora & fauna. Spacious, comfortable Holiday cottage. Large rooms and spacious accommodation. Warm country charm enhanced by the exotic, slightly "retro" feel of an old, wealthy home and its meticulous heritage restoration (exceptional cement tile floors, molded doors, beams (one of which is "dated"), marble mantels, stone sink, floor tiles... all original). Enormous charm & character. Intimate walled garden (500m² with its courtyard) nestled behind historic stone walls, with garden furniture pleasantly shaded under a plane tree "over a hundred years old".
