Belgian by birth, Burgundian by heart & adoption, Elsje and Christophe welcome you to a delightful caravan nestled in the calm of the "wilderness", on the edge of the Forest (a rare privilege to be able to observe wildlife on site), overlooking a hillside "panoramic belvedere" of a bucolic meadow valley (on an "eastern" hillside pleasantly shaded at the end of the day in midsummer) within a "dispersed" rural hamlet. Absolute tranquility in the midst of unspoilt, gentle mountain Countryside, on the edge of the Beaujolais & Brionnais mountains (protected ZNIEFF area for its wealth of flora & fauna), at the foot of the legendary & mysterious Mountain de Dun (home to a 12th-century Romanesque chapel at 708m & with a magnificent circular view of up to "35 steeples" on a clear day!), not far from the Mussy-sous-Dun viaduct (an iconic 19th-century railway structure). Sublime landscaped setting & literal haven of relaxation. Pleasant panoramic balcony-terrace adjoining a carefully planted and flower-filled "synthetic" garden, complete with Nordic bath. Access to the property's heated Piscine (9x4m), nestled just a stone's throw away in an enclosed garden (with shower & terrace). Warm & bright caravan with very good comfort.
