Barbara & Patrick open the doors of an authentic 19th-century Morvan farmhouse, carefully restored using eco-construction techniques, nestled in the heart of a chestnut grove, on a hillside on a southern slope, in an intimate clearing on a "natural" 1 ha property, adjoining their home converted into a "micro-farm" (housing their horses in season & a henhouse), classified as a "Refuge LPO", maintained with a view to protecting biodiversity. Absolute tranquility in the Countryside, in the heart of a small rural hamlet steeped in history (once home to the quarries of "stone cutters" for historic monuments, from which the spire of Autun cathedral is derived).
