l'Ambutelière

An authentic, unique country cottage dating from 1935, fully renovated—nestled in a pleasant, well-maintained 2,500-square-meter garden—just a stone’s throw from the banks of the Seille River (a rare natural area designated as a “Natura 2000” site for its remarkable ecosystems), within a rural residential hamlet (in a suburban area) 5 km from Louhans (all amenities nearby, including a supermarket 3.5 km away), the historic capital of the Burgundian Bresse, famous for its iconic medieval shopping street with its “157 arcades” (one of the most remarkable of its kind in both France and Europe) as well as for its highly renowned “Monday Market,” designated a “Remarkable Site du Goût.” Nestled in the heart of the unspoiled, gentle Bresse countryside around Louhans (largely protected as a ZNIEFF), a bucolic, natural setting that blends agriculture with the great outdoors, between vast plains of fields and meadows dotted with ponds and rivers and beautiful wild forests, nestled between Bresse and Revermont, not far from the foothills of the nearby Jura Mountains and its Natural Park (featuring numerous hiking trails, including the “Bresse Comtoise” GRP, which connects to the GR59—well worth exploring). A prime location along the routes of numerous nature trails, including various designated “green walks” (an extensive network of similarly marked trails to explore in the area, on foot or by mountain bike), 3.5 km from the “Voie Bressane” Greenway (which runs alongside “Cycloroute 71” / the Saône-et-Loire Cycling Tour) and connects to the Bresse Jurassienne Greenway as well as the Blue and Greenways of “the Great Loop of Southern Burgundy” running along the Saône River, not far from the Romanesque church circuit, about 30 km from the Vineyards of the Jura and the Mâconnais Coast, about 40 km from the Côtes Chalonnaises, and about 60 km from the prestigious, world-renowned Vineyards of the Côtes de Beaune and Hautes Côtes de Beaune (various wine routes to explore, including the “Route des Vins de Bourgogne” and the “Route des Grands Vins,” which extends into the illustrious “Route des Grands Crus”). In the heart of the Burgundian Bresse—the birthplace of the famous Bresse poultry AOC—at the crossroads of the Ain and Jura departments, where the Chalonnais, the Jura Bresse, the Mâconnais, the Tournugeois-Clunisois (designated a “Pays d’Art et d’Histoire”), and the Bresse de l’Ain.
