Le Bout du Monde

A picture-postcard setting in the heart of the Juliénas appellation vineyards! Authentic traditional farmhouse dating from the late 19th century, fully renovated as a "family guest house", nestled in a peaceful rural hamlet perched in a "panoramic belvedere" in the very heart of the bucolic Beaujolais vineyards (the first vineyard in the world to be recognized as a "UNESCO World Geopark"), 11 km from the vast sales agent zone of Crêches-sur-Saône (all amenities on site) & 16 km from Mâcon (Burgundy's most southern city). Quiet & sublime mountain setting combining viticulture & nature (on a ZNIEFF protected site for its rich ecosystems), nestled at the very southern tip of Burgundy, on the borders of the Mâconnais & Haut Beaujolais mountains, bordering the vineyards of the famous crus "Saint-Amour", "Moulin à Vent" & "Saint-Véran", in the extension of the sumptuous landscaped jewel of the Roches de Solutré & Vergisson "Grand Site de France" label (10 km away), very close to the banks of the Saône (partly classified as a "Natura 2000 Zone" for its very rich ecosystem, particularly ornithological) & a vast wild forest. Ultra-privileged Location at the crossroads of the "Route des Vins de Bourgogne" & the "Route des Vins du Beaujolais", ideally situated on a marked "balade verte" footpath (a vast network of hiking trails of the same type criss-crossing the area, to be discovered on foot or mountain bike) & a referenced mountain bike circuit (adjoining a vast marked "espace VTT" criss-crossing the massif), adjoining the Romanesque church circuit, 3.5 km from the GR76, 6 km from the "Cycloroute71" (Tour de la Saône-et-Loire by bike), 11 km from the "Voie Bleue" adjoining the EuroVélo17 cycle route (along the Saône, connected to the famous ViaRhôna) and 13 km from the "Grande Boucle Bourgogne du Sud" Voie Verte (& its remarkable "Tunnel du Bois Clair" at 22 km, France's longest former railway tunnel open to a Voie Verte at 1.6 km). At the crossroads of Rhône & Ain, Mâconnais, Beaujolais, Clunisois-Tournugeois (labelled "Pays d'Art et d'Histoire") & Bresse de l'Ain. Ideal for easy access to several départements (A6 & RCEA connection 12 km away): 12 km from the renowned Touroparc Zoo amusement & wildlife park, 12 km from the Mâcon Loché TGV station, 13 km from the renowned "Hameau Dubœuf" (Europe's 1st vineyard & wine theme park!), 22 km from Belleville-en-Beaujolais, 23 km from Beaujeu (historic capital of Beaujolais), 29 km from Vonnas (gastronomic village of Georges Blanc), 30 km from the illustrious abbey town of Cluny, 35 km from Villefranche-sur-Saône, 47 km from Tournus & 50 km from Bourg-en-Bresse. A soothing "refuge" immersed in the heart of the vineyards for a stopover or extended stay, for lovers or families! The name suits it perfectly!
