Nicole & Daniel are passionate about arts & crafts and old cars, and are both amateur artists, some of whose works you can appreciate in the gîte. They welcome you to a charming 18th-century country house - completely restored to the highest standards - situated on the edge of a quiet cul-de-sac in a pleasant historic residential area. Literally enchanting setting on the edge of a delightful tree-ringed meadow (regularly grazed by horses) on the banks of the Arconce (a small, fish-filled river flowing through the town in a bucolic canal setting, hence its nickname of "Venise charolaise"), adjacent to the medieval shopping center (all amenities on site). Numerous leisure activities (gastronomy, nature & culture) and a rich historical heritage from the 15th and 16th centuries to discover (remains of the fortified castle, Charles the Bold's tower, convent of the Poor Clares, Benedictine Priory classified as a Cluniac site, town houses, medieval fortified houses, Ursuline convent...). Great comfort. Ultra spacious. Elegant contemporary cachet blending authenticity & modernity with a warm loft spirit and meticulous restoration of heritage features (original stone walls, lintels, French ceilings, roof timbers...). Lots of charm. Cosy and cocooning. Fully equipped to a high standard. A home steeped in history. Large, shaded terrace with flowers and plants, opening onto the meadow. Superb panorama. Beautiful unobstructed view.
