Le Grand Chêne Maréchal

Elegant "Holiday cottage" nestled in a sublime "postcard setting" just a stone's throw from the "great outdoors"! The two Holiday cottages on the property can be rented together at "preferential rates" (with gîte n°1978) for a total capacity of 15 people. Delightful authentic traditional farmhouse dating from 1887, carefully restored to the highest standards - nestled in a panoramic "belvedere" on the hillside of a south-facing slope - in the heart of the Haut-Clunyiois Countryside, surrounded by meadows at the edge of the woods, 12 km from the charming, typical market town of Matour, which has been awarded the "Station verte de vacances" label (with a mini supermarket, numerous amenities and a remarkable range of sports and leisure facilities) & 17 km from the illustrious abbey town of Cluny, which has been awarded the prestigious "Patrimoine Européen" label. Absolute tranquility, in the heart of a magnificent natural setting of gentle mountains, combining bucolic rolling bocages & vast wild forests (protected as a "Zone Natura 2000" & ZNIEFF for its rich ecosystems), overlooking the verdant Grosne valley in the "Petite Suisse du Mâconnais" & "Verts Vallons de Sud Bourgogne", facing the foothills of the Beaujolais Massif (with its vast signposted mountain-biking area), extending the sumptuous landscape of the Roches de Solutré & Vergisson, designated a "Grand Site de France", not far from the "Saint-Cyr" & "Signal de la Mère Boitier" mountains (the highest peaks in Southern Burgundy) and the iconic "Butte de Suin" (offering a literally exceptional 360° view, as far as Mont-Blanc on a clear day). Ultra-privileged location on the routes of several "balades vertes" hiking trails (a vast network of identical hiking trails criss-crossing the region, to be explored on foot or mountain bike), close to the Romanesque church circuit, 5 km from the "Cycloroute71" (Tour de la Saône-et-Loire by bike), 6 km from the GR76, 7 km from the GR7, 14 km from the Voie Verte of the "Grande Boucle de Bourgogne du Sud" (& from the remarkable "Tunnel du Bois Clair", France's longest former railway tunnel open to a Voie Verte at 1.6 km), 17 km of the renowned "Grand Tour du Massif Sud Bourgogne" mountain bike circuit with "VTT FFC" certification (GTM linked to a vast "VTT area" of the same type criss-crossing the South Burgundy massif), about 15 km from the first vineyards of the Côtes Mâconnaises (& the famous "Val Lamartinien") & the "Route des Vins de Bourgogne" and about 30 km from the Beaujolais vineyards (first vineyard in the world to be recognized as a "UNESCO World Geopark"). At the crossroads of Tournugeois-Clunisois (labelled "Pays d'Art & d'Histoire"), Mâconnais & Charolais-Brionnais (labelled "Pays d'Art & d'Histoire", cradle of the world-renowned AOC cattle breed). Ideal for touring (RCEA access 5 km away): 5 km from the renowned "Lab71" (discovery center based on sustainable development, science, innovation & culture), 6 km from the renowned Pézanin arboretum (400 species of deciduous & coniferous trees over 25 ha, around a bucolic fishing pond), 26 km from La Clayette, 27 km from Charolles, 33 km from Beaujeu (historic capital of Beaujolais), 31 km from Mâcon (Mâcon Loché TGV station 29 km away), 39 km from Paray-le-Monial & 50 km from Tournus.

Aurélie & Vincent, winegrowers whose family estate is 30 km away (in the famous "Pouilly Fuissé" cru / visit & tasting possible), open the doors to a delightful authentic traditional farmhouse dating from 1887, tastefully restored to the highest standards, set against the hillside as a "belvedere" & panoramic "balcony" on a southern slope. Absolute tranquility in a small "dispersed" rural hamlet, nestled in a bucolic plateau of meadows (home to their peaceful donkeys & mares as well as the famous Charolais cows in season), at the edge of vast wild forests, a sublime preserved country & natural setting of the gentle Mountain (protected as a "Zone Natura 2000" & ZNIEFF for its rich ecosystems). Opportunity to observe wildlife on site. Beautifully landscaped setting. A literal haven of peace & relaxation. A veritable "green paradise" for young and old alike.
