Originally from Belgium, but Burgundians at heart and by choice, Elsje and Christophe welcome you to a charming caravan nestled in a peaceful setting “in the heart of nature,” on the edge of the Forest (a rare privilege that allows you to observe wildlife right on the property), overlooking a bucolic valley of meadows from a “panoramic viewpoint” on a hillside (on an “east-facing” slope that’s pleasantly shaded in the late afternoon during the height of summer) within a “scattered” rural hamlet. Absolute tranquility in the heart of unspoiled, gently rolling mountain countryside, on the edge of the Beaujolais and Brionnais mountains (a ZNIEFF-protected area for its rich flora and fauna), at the foot of Mount Dun, steeped in legends and mysteries (home to a 12th-century Romanesque chapel at 708m and boasting a magnificent panoramic view of up to “35 church steeples” on a clear day!), not far from the Mussy-sous-Dun viaduct (an iconic 19th-century railway engineering structure). A sublime natural setting and a true haven of peace. A pleasant panoramic balcony-terrace adjoining a small, carefully landscaped “synthetic” garden filled with flowers, complete with a Nordic hot tub. Access to the property’s heated Piscine (9x4m), nestled just a stone’s throw away in the heart of an enclosed garden (with shower and terrace). A warm and bright caravan offering excellent comfort.
