Le Cèdre Enchanté

Spacious, charming gîte nestled in a delightful 19th-century country house steeped in history - lovingly restored throughout - set in a vast, landscaped, enclosed 4800m² property nestled in a charming, bucolic setting on the edge of a wood. In a quiet residential hamlet near the center of the small, typical village of La Guiche, nestled in the rolling Charolais countryside, in a magnificent, unspoilt rural setting of nature and greenery, between vast bocage, forest, meadows, rivers and ponds. In the heart of the sumptuously preserved Charolais-Brionnais region - cradle of the world-renowned AOC cattle and sheep breeds - with its breathtaking landscapes and literally exceptional historical heritage (labelled "Pays d'Art et d'Histoire"), dotted with numerous nature walks (550 km of signposted footpaths & over 200 hiking trails in the area!). Prime location at the crossroads of the Autunois, Chalonnais & Clunisois regions, on the Romanesque church circuit, 14 km from the famous EuroVélo6 cyclo route connected to the voie verte, 23 km from the Canal du Centre (the "Canal tranquille" winding through the countryside), 16 km from the Côtes Mâconnaises vineyards & 18 km from the Côtes Chalonnaises (& wine routes).

A passionate decorator and nature lover, Catherine welcomes you to a delightful 19th-century country house steeped in history (formerly a village "guinguette"), fully restored with taste and care, nestled on the edge of a wood in a charming bucolic setting (vast forest dotted with hiking trails / direct access from garden). Very quiet residential hamlet on a hillside, close to the center of the small, typical village of La Guiche, nestled on the southern slopes of the Charolais in a superb, unspoilt setting (beautiful indoor swimming pool, 13th-century Romanesque church housing the tomb of Louis de Valois, grandson of the King of France, former country "sanatorium" hospital dating from 1918...).
