La Cour Basse

Property steeped in history, ideally located between town and country! Comfortable self-catering accommodation in a charming character outbuilding of an elegant 16th-century fortified seigniory classified as a "Monument Historique" - which belonged, among others, to Michel Letellier de Louvois, Louis XIV's Minister of War - nestled peacefully in the suburban countryside, on the edge of fields and meadows just a stone's throw from the banks of the Saône, 6 km from the center of Chalon-sur-Saône, which has the "Ville d'Art & d'Histoire" label. Close to all amenities and leisure facilities, 3 km from the voie verte (partly connected to EuroVélo6, which runs along the canal du center, and to several "boucle vélo coup de cœur" cycle routes winding between vineyards and natural plains), 5 km from two vast state forests (with signposted footpaths), adjacent to the Romanesque church circuit, 12 km from the first vineyards and the wine route. Prime location at the crossroads of the world-renowned vineyards of Côtes de Beaune, Hautes Côtes de Beaune & Côtes Chalonnaises and the various wine routes, including the illustrious "Route des Grands Crus" (passing through the legendary wine villages of Puligny-Montrachet, Pommard, Meursault...), at the crossroads of the Côte d'Or and the magnificent territories of Pays Beaunois, Bresse Bourguignonne & Autunois (rich contrasts and landscape variety to discover in close proximity).

Fabien, a dairy farmer, and Elisabeth open the doors to a delightful character residence, carefully restored and transformed into a comfortable holiday home, a former outbuilding of the elegant 16th-century fortified seigneury they occupy next door - which belonged, among others, to Michel Letellier de Louvois, King Louis XIV's Minister of War - on a beautiful property steeped in history and classified as a "Monument Historique" for all its buildings.
