Le Four à Pain

Exceptional country setting & postcard landscapes! Charming authentic 19th-century farm outbuilding carefully converted into a comfortable contemporary-style gîte - with panoramic terrace & sheltered outdoor spa - nestled on a south-west facing hillside, on the edge of a peaceful rural mini hamlet, 9 km from the charming typical village of Dompierre-Les-Ormes (small shops on site) & 14 km from the delightful market town of Matour, a "Station Verte de Vacances" (many amenities and remarkable level of leisure facilities). Absolute peace and quiet in the rolling Charolais countryside, nestled in a sublime bocage plateau nestled beneath the wooded ridges of the vast surrounding wild forests (partly classified & protected as a "Natura 2000 Zone" for its remarkable ecosystems), A soothing, unspoilt setting of nature & greenery nestled at the foot of Mont Saint-Cyr (the highest peak in southern Burgundy) in the foothills of the Beaujolais massif, bordering the Haut Clunisois & its "green valleys" of southern Burgundy, as well as the verdant Grosne valley (the "Little Switzerland of the Mâconnais"). A choice location on the route of several marked "balade verte" footpaths (adjoining a very rich network of identical paths criss-crossing the area, to be explored on foot or mountain bike), 3 km from the GR7, 7 km from a referenced 88 km "boucle vélo coup de cœur" (another 63 km itinerary of the same type accessible at 17 km) & 26 km from the Voie Verte of the "Grande boucle de Bourgogne du Sud", not far from the first vineyards of Beaujolais (first vineyard in the world to be recognized as a "UNESCO Geopark") & the Côtes Mâconnaises (including the renowned "Val Lamartinien" / "Route des Vins de Bourgogne" to explore), close to the Romanesque church circuit.

Jean-Paul & Patricia welcome you to a delightfully authentic, tastefully restored 19th-century outbuilding of character, set on a former agricultural estate consisting of various buildings, all perfectly restored, on the outskirts of a mini rural hamlet. The setting & site are literally enchanting, nestling on a southwest-facing hillside, overlooking a sublime bocage plateau, with the famous Charolais cows as close neighbors. Magnificent panorama and scenery. Total peace & quiet, nestled on the edge of meadows & forests, in the hollow of a magnificent rolling country cirque, nestled beneath the wooded ridges of the surrounding hills, a magnificent, unspoilt setting of greenery & nature set against the slopes of Mont Saint-Cyr, the highest point in southern Burgundy (a unique belvedere offering exceptional panoramic views as far as Mont-Blanc on a clear day!) Very comfortable gîte with modern "compact" architecture. A warm, contemporary feel blending Nordic and industrial influences, combined with careful restoration (original stone beams & walls), enhanced by the conservation of an old traditional bread oven (visible in the gîte's "showcase"). Cosy, cocooning atmosphere. Lots of charm. Pleasantly large panoramic balcony terrace. A magical bonus: a sheltered outdoor spa overlooking a postcard landscape!
