Le Corillier

Authentic 19th-century presbytery with character - featuring a pleasant, intimate 2500m² walled garden - completely refurbished as a group gîte by the commune, nestled in a picturesque Brionnais village, dynamic & steeped in history, a stone's throw from the banks of the Loire ("Europe's last wild river" classified and protected as a "Natura 2000 Zone" for its rich ecosystem, bordered by the "quiet canal" linking Roanne to Digoin), 11 km from the charming medieval market town of Marcigny, a "Clunisois site" famous for its Monday morning market created in 1266 (many amenities on site, including supermarkets) & 17 km from the characterful town of Charlieu (exceptional Romanesque Benedictine abbey / all amenities on site). In the heart of the rolling Brionnais countryside, in a magnificent natural setting of bucolic bocages & gentle wild forests dotted with ponds & rivers. Ultra-privileged location on the route of the Romanesque church circuit, 3 VTT-FFC signposted mountain bike trails (connected to a vast network of similar routes), several "balades vertes" signposted footpaths (very rich network of identical hiking trails to be explored on foot or mountain bike), 1 km from the Voie Verte "Véloire" along the Loire (adjoining the EuroVélo6), 9 km from a 30 km "Coup de Cœur" mountain bike itinerary, 11 km from a 55 km "Coup de Cœur" cycling loop (2 other similar itineraries within a 20 km radius), 11 km from the GR76, 20 km from the Côtes Roannaises vineyards & 50 km from the Beaujolais vineyards (various wine routes connected to the "Route des Vins de Bourgogne").
