In the midst of rolling Countryside (much of which is protected by ZNIEFF & various Natura 2000 zones for its wealth of flora & fauna), on the borders of the Mâconnais & Haut Beaujolais (the world's first Vineyard to be recognized as a "UNESCO World Geopark"), nestled in the gentle Arlois valley, overlooking the Saône valley, in the continuation of the famous neighbouring "Val Lamartinien" (named after the famous French poet, writer & politician, a native of the area) & the sumptuous landscaped jewel of the Roches de Solutré & Vergisson labelled "Grand Site de France" (located 8 km away), facing the South Burgundy massif (rich in a vast network of mountain bike trails labelled "VTT FFC"). A sublime, perfectly preserved landscape, combining viticulture and nature, perched on a vast plateau of vineyards dotted with rivers and wooded meadows, at the foot of a deep, wild Forest. An ultra-privileged Location on the "Burgundy Wine Route", the Romanesque church circuit, various signposted footpaths including a "Balade Verte" (numerous hiking trails of the same type to discover in the area, on foot or by mountain bike), the "Cycloroute71" (Tour de la Saône-et-Loire by bike) & a referenced mountain bike trail (linked to a vast "signposted mountain bike area" criss-crossing the massif), 3 km from the GR76 (connected to the superb GRP "Crus, Vignobles et Monts du Beaujolais"), 4 km from the Voie Bleue (running alongside the Saône) & 7 km from the Voie Verte of the "Grande Boucle de Bourgogne du Sud" (& its remarkable "Tunnel du Bois Clair" at 21 km, the longest former railway tunnel in France open to a Voie Verte with its 1.6 km). At the very southern tip of Burgundy, at the crossroads of the Rhône & Ain, Mâconnais, Beaujolais, Clunisois-Tournugeois (labelled "Pays d'Art et d'Histoire") & Bresse de l'Ain.
