Chez Marie

A comfortable, contemporary-style "holiday cottage" nestled between the Saône and Seille rivers, in the heart of a protected natural area designated as a "Natura 2000" site for its incredibly rich ecosystems! An authentic late 19th-century Bresse farmhouse, fully restored—nestled on a small family farm—4 km from the charming, traditional, and bustling village of Cuisery (listed among the highly exclusive 8 "Villages du Livre" in France / numerous local amenities including supermarkets) and 5.5 km from the charming gastronomic town of Tournus, a world-renowned abbey site and gateway to Southern Burgundy (A6 highway, Marina, and all amenities on site). Peace and quiet nestled on the edge of meadows within a peaceful little rural hamlet, in the heart of the unspoiled Bresse countryside, combining unspoiled nature and agriculture amid wooded plains, ponds, rivers, and gentle, unspoiled forests, not far from the wooded foothills of the Southern Burgundy Massif. An exceptionally prime location along the Romanesque Churches Trail, very close to various marked hiking trails known as “green walks” (an extensive network of similar hiking trails to explore in the area, on foot or by mountain bike), 2 km from the GR trail of the famous “ViaCluny,” and 3 km from the “Cycloroute 71” (Tour de la Saône-et-Loire by bike), 5 km from the Voie Bleue (running along the Saône), adjacent to the Voie Verte of the “Grande Boucle de Bourgogne du Sud,” 5 km from the renowned GTM mountain bike trail certified “VTT FFC” (Grand Tour of the Southern Burgundy Massif, connected to a vast network of similar trails crisscrossing the massif), 7 km from the GR76, about 10 km from the first Vineyards of the Haut-Mâconnais, about 30 km from the Côtes Chalonnaises, and about 40 km from the Jura Vineyards (“Routes des Vins de Bourgogne,” extended by the “Route des Grands Vins,” which is well worth exploring). On the edge of the magnificent, unspoiled region of Bresse Bourguignonne—the birthplace of the famous Bresse poultry AOC —rich in renowned culinary traditions as well as incredibly diverse landscapes—at the crossroads of the Tournugeois-Clunisois region (designated a “Pays d’Art et d’Histoire”), the Mâconnais, and the Chalonnais, not far from the departments of Ain and Jura. A prime location for exploring the region: 10 km from the Truchère Nature Reserve (a remarkable ecosystem, a mosaic of natural habitats nestled near the confluence of the Saône and Seille rivers), 13 km from the medieval town of Romenay, 17 km from the medieval village of Brancion, 24 km from Louhans, the capital of the Burgundian Bresse (and its iconic medieval street with 157 arcades), 33 km from Chalon-sur-Saône (designated a “City of Art and History”), 35 km from Mâcon (Mâcon Loché TGV station 41 km away), 38 km from the illustrious abbey town of Cluny, 44 km from the sublime natural gem of La Roche de Solutré, designated a “Grand Site de France,” 46 km from Vonnas (Georges Blanc’s gastronomic village), 50 km from Bourg-en-Bresse, and 51 km from Lons-le-Saunier. The perfect getaway for a 100% authentic “farm stay” experience, just a stone’s throw from all the amenities!
