La Belle & Leynes

Enjoy a beautiful swimming pool (4x8m) & sublime landscapes, immersed in the heart of the Mâcon countryside, in the bucolic vineyards of Leynes and its famous Saint-Véran cru! Contemporary eighties-style winegrower's house set on a balcony on a south-western hillside in the hollow of the gentle Arlois valley, a stone's throw from the center of the picturesque winegrowing village of Leynes & 13 km from the center of Mâcon. Magnificent, undulating wine-growing & natural environment at the very southern tip of Burgundy, a succession of steep vineyard slopes dominated by the wooded ridges of a small forest area classified and protected as a "Natura 2000" zone (for the quality of its ecosystem), overlooking the Saône valley on the first foothills of the Massif Central, on the borders of the Mâconnais & Haut Beaujolais mountains, in the extension of the famous "Val Lamartinien" & the neighbouring sumptuous landscape jewel of the Roches de Solutré & Vergisson labelled "Grand Site de France" (located 5.5 km). Ultra-privileged location on the "Route des Vins de Bourgogne", the Romanesque churches circuit, the GR76 (Saint-Jacques-de-Compostelle), a referenced mountain bike trail (connected to a vast, signposted "espace VTT" criss-crossing the massif), a signposted "balade verte" hiking trail (with several other similar trails winding between vineyards and open countryside to discover in the surrounding area), 7 km from the voie verte and 8 km from the EuroVélo17 cycle route along the Saône. At the crossroads of the Rhône & Ain, Mâconnais, Beaujolais, Clunisois-Tournugeois (labelled "Pays d'Art et d'Histoire") & Bresse de l'Ain, all rich in grandiose landscapes, literally exceptional heritage and world-renowned gastronomy. Ideal for touring (A6 & RCEA connection 8 km away): 4 km from Saint-Amour-Bellevue (an ultra-renowned gastronomic stopover with "star" restaurants), 8 km from Mâcon Loché TGV station, 12 km from Touroparc Zoo animal park, 21 km from Belleville-en-Beaujolais, 26 km from Beaujeu, 29 km from the illustrious abbey town of Cluny, 36 km from Villefranche-sur-Saône, 45 km from Tournus & 47 km from Bourg-en-Bresse. An ideal "pied à terre" for wine and nature lovers alike, with the added bonus of lounging and relaxing by the pool! To be enjoyed with family and friends alike!

Passionate about cycling and hiking, Émilie & Fabien welcome you to their contemporary "eighties" winegrower's house, set on a balcony on the south-facing hillside, facing the magnificent vineyards of the famous cru Saint-Véran, in the bucolic Arlois valley (the only one in Burgundy producing the white, rosé and red wines of both southern Burgundy and northern Beaujolais). Quiet residential hamlet adjoining the center of the peaceful & picturesque village of Leynes, a charming wine-growing village typical of the Côtes Mâconnaises, perfectly preserved & steeped in history (with a notable heritage: 12th-century Romanesque church, several castles, beautifully restored historic homes, washhouses...), nestled amphitheatrically beneath the wooded ridges of a small forest protected as a "Natura 2000" zone, at the foot of a vast, wild and unspoilt forest massif. Sublime wine-growing & natural setting in a gentle mountain setting, offering sumptuous panoramas & landscapes (on a clear day, you can see the Alps & Vercors, all the way to Mont-Blanc from the village heights).
