Gîte du Tacot

Unique & exceptional address! Charming gîte with heated swimming pool (3.5x6m), housed in the village's authentic former railway station - an elegant 19th-century character building steeped in history & carefully restored to the highest standards - nestled in the heart of a peaceful, typical village with shops, 12 km from Louhans (all amenities on site), capital of the Bresse region, famous for its iconic medieval shopping street with 157 arcades (one of the most remarkable of its kind in France and Europe) and its famous Monday market, which has been awarded the "Site remarquable du goût" label. In the heart of the gentle Bresse countryside, a succession of bocage plains, bucolic ponds & rivers, meadows and vast wild forests, adjacent to a protected area classified as a "Natura 2000" zone for its remarkable ecosystem, ideally situated on the route of the Romanesque church circuit & a signposted cyclo route directly connected to the voie verte, in close proximity to numerous hiking trails winding through the countryside, marked out as "balades vertes" (a very rich network to be discovered in the area), 12 km from a "coup de cœur" bicycle loop (35 kms). Right in the heart of Bresse Bourguignonne - birthplace of the famous AOC Bresse poultry - a magnificent, unspoilt region nestled at the foot of the mountainous foothills of the Jura Massif, with its varied landscapes, renowned gastronomy and remarkable heritage, at the crossroads of Tournugeois-Clunisois (labelled "Pays d'Art et d'Histoire"), Mâconnais, Chalonnais & Bresse de l'Ain, close to the vineyards of Haut Maconnais, Chalonnais and Jura (various wine routes to explore). 21 km from Cuisery, one of France's 8 exclusive "Villages du Livre", 24 km from Tournus (world-renowned abbey site), 25 km from the Bresse motor racing circuit (multi-activity car, motorcycle and karting on 48 ha), 29 km from Chalon-sur-Saône (certified "Ville d'Art & d'Histoire"), 30 km from Verdun sur-le-Doubs (& its river marina at the confluence of the Doubs & Saône rivers), 39 km from Lons-le-Saunier, 42 km from Seurre, 54 km from Mâcon (TGV Mâcon Loché station 63 km away) and 57 km from the illustrious abbey town of Cluny. The perfect place for an ultra-comfortable getaway, combining nature & culture with lazing around the pool!

Inspired by the gentle magic of the site, and having literally fallen in love with it, Céline & Cyril open the doors of a very rare authentic 19th century railway building (the former village station, of which many perfectly preserved architectural traces remain, and which you can discover on site), an elegant industrial residence full of character and history, carefully restored to the highest standards and revisited as an ultra-comfortable holiday resort, nestled on the edge of a peaceful, charming, typical & commercial village. In the heart of the Bresse countryside, in a peaceful, unspoilt natural setting, combining fields of crops & verdant meadows, bucolic ponds, rivers & beautiful wild forests (just a stone's throw away). Spacious, luxury Holiday cottage.
