La Longère

Absolute peace and quiet in the heart of the Morvan Regional Nature Park! Authentic traditional 19th-century farmhouse, carefully converted into a comfortable guest house, set in a peaceful, enclosed 3000m² property, 3 km from the center of the typical market town of Etang-sur-Arroux (many amenities including supermarket), nestled on the southern slopes of the massif at the confluence of the three bucolic valleys of the Braconne, Mesvrin and Arroux, not far from the Beuvray & Haut-Folin mountains (highest point in Burgundy). Peaceful mini rural hamlet nestled in a magnificent, unspoilt rural setting, a soothing, undulating landscape of bocage and meadows, nestled in the wooded foothills of the Uchon massif and its renowned nearby "Signal d'Uchon" peak ("the Pearl of Morvan", a natural site classified as a ZNIEFF). Privileged location on the routes of the legendary GTMC (Grande Traversée du Massif Central) mountain bike circuit, the "Cycloroute71" (cyclo tour of the Saône-et-Loire region) & numerous signposted "balades vertes" trails connected to the renowned GRP "Grand Tour du Morvan" as well as the GR 131 & GR 13 (vast network of identical hiking trails criss-crossing the region, to be explored on foot or mountain bike), 14 km from a referenced 28 km "boucle vélo coup de cœur", 15 km from the Romanesque churches circuit, 20 km from the Voie Verte "du Morvan aux Vignobles" and some 30 km from the first vineyards of the Couchois (Côtes Chalonnaises / adjoining the famous Côtes de Beaune & Hautes Côtes de Beaune) & the "Route des Grands Vins" extended by the illustrious "Route des Grand Crus". In the heart of the Autunois, a sumptuous region steeped in history, traditions, legends & mysteries, rich in a rare historical heritage as well as grandiose landscapes, at the crossroads of the Nièvre (territory of the "Grands Lacs du Morvan") and the Côte d'Or, 15 km from the renowned Paldenshangpa Buddhist temple, 18 km from Autun (labeled "Ville d'Art & d'Histoire", rich in 2000 years of human presence), 20 km from the famous Gallo-Roman archeological site of Bibracte, labelled "Grand Site de France", 23 km from Le Creusot (renowned Combes amusement park / Creusot TGV station 32 km away), 42 km from Château-Chinon & 49 km from Digoin (river marina connected to the Canal du Centre & "quiet canal" linking Digoin to Roanne). A perfect haven of peace, ideal for a comfortable tourist stopover or an extended "mise au vert"!
