la Maison de Simone

Former late 19th century country "fermette" - with a bucolic private fishing pond a stone's throw away - completely restored & refurbished into a comfortable contemporary home, nestled in the Bresse countryside, 6.5 km from the charming, typical market town of Saint-Germain-du-Bois (all amenities on site). Absolute peace and quiet in a peaceful little rural hamlet nestled in a pleasant, unspoilt rural & agricultural setting, 8 km from a referenced cycling itinerary ("Vélo coup de Cœur" loop), 13 km from the "voie verte" (connected to EuroVélo6), adjacent to the Romanesque church circuit, and numerous hiking trails in the heart of nature, signposted as "balades vertes". Right in the heart of Bresse Bourguignonne, a magnificent, unspoilt region - birthplace of the world-renowned AOC Bresse poultry - rich in varied landscapes, from wooded plains dotted with fish-filled ponds and rivers, to forests and the mountain foothills of the Jura, a renowned gastronomy and a remarkable heritage. Interesting location at the crossroads of the Chalonnais, Pays Beaunois & Tournugeois-Clunisois (labelled "Pays d'Art et d'Histoire"), in close proximity to the Côte d'Or & Jura, not far from the world-renowned vineyards of Côtes de Beaune & Hautes Côtes de Beaune, Côtes Chalonnaises, Mâconnais & Jura and various wine routes to explore (including the famous Route des Grands Crus). Ideal for touring: 16 km from Louhans (& its iconic medieval artery with 157 arcades), 25 km from Verdun-sur-le-Doubs at the confluence of the Doubs & Saône rivers (river marina), 28 km from Chalon-sur-Saône (labeled "Ville d'Art et d'Histoire"), 32 km from Seurre, 35 km from Tournus (world-renowned abbey site) & Lons-le-Saunier, 48 km from Beaune (illustrious fortified city, "capital of Burgundy wines") & 59 km from Dole (labelled "Ville d'Art et d'Histoire"). The perfect retreat for a total country break, ultra-restful & relaxing!

Évelyne & Michel are retired farmers, and you can visit their nearby farm, which still has many animals for children to enjoy (horses, donkeys, geese, chickens, ducks, rabbits...). They welcome you to an old country "fermette" dating from the late 19th century, now completely restored & refurbished as a comfortable contemporary holiday home. Absolute peace and quiet in the heart of a peaceful residential hamlet nestled in the countryside, 2.5 km from the center of the charming Bresse village of Simard. Nestled in a relaxing, unspoilt rural & agricultural setting on the edge of vast fields, rivers & meadows, just a stone's throw from a bucolic private pond with trees, protected from view by a small wood, with a sheltered area equipped with a summer kitchen, a perfect little spot for fishing enthusiasts or for lounging & relaxing in a privileged natural setting.
