Charlemagne

Total tranquility & superb landscaped setting! Comfortable "family suite" nestled in an authentic 18th-century "bourgeoise" character residence, steeped in history & fully restored - set on a vast, well-kept 2000m² property with a beautiful 12x3m heated swimming pool - nestled in the quiet, rolling Charolais countryside, 12 km from Gueugnon (all amenities on site). Peaceful rural hamlet nestled in a soothing natural setting, combining pastures, rivers & ponds, in the famous sublime Charolais bocage, a stone's throw from a vast wild forest, not far from the banks of the Loire (Europe's last "wild river" protected as a "Natura 2000 Zone" for its remarkable ecosystem). On a signposted "balade verte" footpath (a vast network of similar footpaths throughout the region), very close to the Romanesque church circuit, 7 km from a signposted cycle route, 14 km from the legendary GTMC (Grande Traversée du Massif Centrale) mountain bike route, 16 km from the Voie Verte connected to EuroVélo6 & 18 km from a 78 km "boucle vélo coup de cœur". A prime location, at the crossroads of the Allier, Loire & Nièvre départements, near the foothills of the Morvan massif, in the heart of the magnificent Charolais-Brionnais region, which has been awarded the "Pays d'Art et d'Histoire" label - cradle of the world-renowned AOC beef & sheep breeds - and boasts sublime unspoilt landscapes and an exceptional historical heritage, at the crossroads of Autunois-Morvan & Sologne Bourbonnaise. Ideal for exploring: 16 km from Digoin (river marina nestled at the convergence of 3 renowned canals, including the famous Canal du Centre), 18 km from the medieval spa town of Bourbon-Lancy (casino on site), 27 km from Paray-le-Monial, 33 km from the Paldenshangpa Buddhist temple at La Boulaye, 34 km from the PAL amusement park, 39 km from Charolles, 42 km from Marcigny, 55 km from the famous Gallo-Roman archaeological site of Bibracte (classified as a "Grand Site de France") & 58 km from the TGV station at Le Creusot. A literal haven of peace & relaxation for young & old! The perfect resort for an extended stopover or tourist "break" in "countrybreak" mode, for both lovers and families, with poolside lounging and a game of pétanque to boot!

Cécile & Oleg open the doors to a delightful, authentic, lovingly restored 18th-century "maison de maître", steeped in charm and history, nestled in the peace and quiet of rolling Charolais countryside on 10,000m² of private property (much of which is used for sheep pasture), in a peaceful rural hamlet 2.5 km from the typical village of Neuvy-Granchamp (famous for its Charolais museum of agricultural machinery, the only one of its kind in Burgundy, with over 500 vintage machines). Total tranquility, nestled in a promontory & "panoramic belvedere" on a southern plateau, in the heart of the sublime local bocage, a stone's throw from a bucolic 12-hectare pond (renowned fishing & nature site) & close to a vast area of wild forest. Magnificent, unspoilt countryside. Ultra-relaxing setting. Pleasant & intimate landscaped garden (2000m²) with a beautiful heated swimming pool (12x3m) adjoining a pétanque court and a vast sheltered terrace (former carriage house perfectly preserved).
