Passionate about heritage and architecture alike, Pascale opens the doors of an exceptional medieval "bourgeois" residence steeped in history, dating back to the 15th century, which she fell in love with and carefully restored "stone by stone", with great attention to historical detail. Quiet setting, nestling on the edge of a small alleyway in the heart of the old village of a peaceful little Côte Chalonnaise town, perched on a well-exposed hillside in the heart of magnificent, gentle, unspoilt wine-growing & agricultural countryside, alternating between bucolic vineyard slopes, vast bocages & beautiful wild forests.
