Aux Cœurs de Céliane

Atypical Holiday cottage on a "micro-farm" property! Delightful traditional Bresse farmhouse (built in 1684) carefully restored in an "ecological" spirit - housing a friendly little Countryside Restaurant - nestled in a peaceful setting on the edge of wooded fields & meadows, on the outskirts of a small rural hamlet, not far from the center of the typical village of La Chapelle-Saint-Sauveur, which boasts a rare & renowned natural lake with "biological swimming" facilities, and 6 km from the delightful shopping town of Pierre-de-Bresse (supermarket on site), which has been awarded the "Cité de Caractère de Bourgogne Franche Comté" label (and boasts a renowned eco-museum nestled in a sumptuous 17th-century château). Total peace & quiet in the gentle, unspoilt Bresse Countryside (largely protected as a ZNIEFF & Natura 2000 zone for its very rich ecosystems), a soothing landscape combining agriculture & nature, between vast bocage plains dotted with rivers, bucolic ponds and beautiful wild forests, in close proximity to the wooded foothills of the Jura Massif & its Nature Park (traversed by the GRP de la Bresse Comtoise connected to the GR59, 17 km away) and the banks of the Doubs (a protected natural site, a paradise for anglers and nature lovers alike). On the routes of several signposted "natural footpaths" (complemented by a vast network of hiking trails approved as "balades vertes" throughout the region, to be discovered on foot or mountain bike) & the "Cycloroute 71" (Tour de Saône-et-Loire by bike), 19 km from the Voie Verte de la Bresse Jurasienne, 20 km from the Voie Bleue along the banks of the Saône (linked to the EuroVélo6 cycle route), 23 km from the Verdun-Ciel river Marina (nestled at the confluence of the Saône & Doubs rivers), 28 km from the Voie Verte "Voie Bressane" (linked to the Voie Verte "Grande Boucle de Bourgogne du Sud"), 28 km from the Voie Verte "Voie du Tacot" (serving Beaune), about 30 kms from the first vineyards of the Jura & about 50 kms from the vineyards of the Chalonnais, crossing those of the famous Côtes de Beaune & Hautes Côtes de Beaune (various wine routes to discover, including the "Route des Grands Vins", which is extended by the prestigious "Route des Grands Crus" through the mythical wine villages of Puligny-Montrachet, Pommard, Meursault...).

Céline & Stéphane open the doors of an authentic, charming traditional brick & timber-framed farmhouse, built in 1684, carefully restored in an "ecological" spirit, housing a friendly little rural restaurant serving "traditional home cooking" (catering service available during your stay with takeaway meals) nestled in a peaceful setting, on the edge of wooded fields & meadows, on the outskirts of a small hamlet, on a property laid out in the spirit of a "micro-farm" (peaceful sheep pens and henhouse with roosters & hens).
