A comfortable, charming holiday cottage housed in carefully restored former outbuildings of a beautiful, characterful 19th-century bourgeois mansion located on a cul-de-sac within a sprawling 1.4-hectare property—featuring a lovely 4x10-meter swimming pool — nestled in a peaceful residential neighborhood steeped in history, facing the “postcard-perfect” quays of the charming gastronomic and shopping town of Tournus (a world-renowned abbey site, Marina, and unparalleled sports and recreational facilities), equidistant from Dijon and Lyon.

In the heart of the Tournugeois-Clunisois region (designated a “Pays d’Art et d’Histoire”), at the crossroads of the Côtes Mâconnaises and Côtes Chalonnaises vineyards, where the Ain region meets the rich territories of the Mâconnais, the Bresse Bourguignonne, and the Chalonnais.
