la Cabane de l'Etang

An exceptional haven of peace & relaxation in the heart of the Louhannaise countryside! Elegant cabin on stilts full of charm - totally atypical & unusual - nestled on a bucolic 1-hectare fishing pond (no-kill), in a magnificent green setting of nature & greenery, on a vast 30-hectare private property with a large forest and many surprises (spa & sauna with paid access, complete children's playground, zip-line...). Absolute calm immersed between woods & wild meadows, 8 km from Louhans (all amenities & small river marina on site), capital of the Bresse region known for its iconic medieval shopping street with "157 arcades", one of the most remarkable of its kind in France and Europe (also famous for its "Monday market" labelled "Site remarquable du goût", one of the largest retail poultry markets in France). Absolutely magical setting & site - ultra-privileged - close to several protected sites classified as "Natura 2000 zones", not far from the Romanesque church circuit and marked "balade verte" hiking trails, 8 km from the "voie verte" & a "coup de cœur" bicycle loop (35 kms) and 25 km from the first Mâconnais & Jura vineyards (various wine routes to discover). Right in the heart of the Bresse Bourguignonne region - birthplace of the famous AOC Bresse poultry - this superb, unspoilt area is rich in renowned gastronomic traditions and highly varied landscapes, combining vast plains dotted with ponds, forests, rivers and meadows with the mountainous foothills of the nearby Jura massif. A prime location at the crossroads of the Ain & Jura regions, as well as the rich territories of Bresse de l'Ain & Jurassienne, Chalonnais, Mâconnais & Tournugeois-Clunisois (labelled "Pays d'Art et d'Histoire"). 21 km from Cuisery ("le Village du livre"), 22 km from Cuiseaux ("le Village des peintres"), 26 km from Tournus (world-renowned abbey site), 32 km from Lons-le-Saunier, 48 km from Bourg-en-Bresse, 52 km from Chalon-sur-Saône ("Ville d'Art et d'Histoire") and 55 km from Mâcon (Mâcon Loché TGV station 59 km away). Possibility of renting the 2 other gîtes on the estate (including a second unusual "tipi" chalet nestled in the forest) for a total capacity of 15 people. The perfect cocoon for a romantic getaway in total disconnection mode! A unique sensation of space and freedom! A total change of scenery!
