Le Nid du Merle

Charming cocoon nestled in a charming 18th-century village house steeped in history & carefully restored with a bold contemporary extension - featuring an intimate terrace & enclosed mini garden - quietly located in the heart of the historic center of the illustrious medieval abbey town of Cluny, one of Burgundy's most remarkable heritage gems (all amenities & leisure facilities on site, within easy walking distance). Ultra-privileged location on the Romanesque churches circuit, the wine route, the GR 76 (Saint-Jacques de Compostelle), numerous signposted "balades vertes" hiking trails & referenced mountain bike circuits, including the Grand tour du massif Sud Bourgogne (GTM), 1.5 km from the voie verte (directly connected to several referenced "boucle vélo coup de cœur" cycling routes, the first of which is just 7 km away). Right in the heart of the Tournugeois-Clunisois region (labelled "Pays d'Art et d'Histoire"), a sublime territory with a literally exceptional heritage (notably medieval & Romanesque), as well as a bucolic, rolling countryside, much of it protected and classified as a "Natura 2000 Zone" for its remarkable ecosystem (magnificent mountainous landscapes, of hedged farmland, wooded hills, vineyard slopes and vast wild forests), bordering the vineyards of the Mâconnais, including the famous Val Lamartinien nearby (first vines 7 km away), and the Beaujolais, at the crossroads of the Charolais-Brionnais (an area with the "Pays d'Art et d'Histoire" label). Ideal location for easy access (not far from the RCEA and A6 & A40 motorways): 24 km from the magnificent Roche de Solutré landscape jewel, classified as a "Grand Site de France", 26 km from Mâcon (Mâcon Loché TGV station 24 km away), 35 km from Tournus, 36 km from the famous Touroparc Zoo animal park, 36 km from Charolles, 49 km from Chalon-sur-Saône (classified as a "Ville d'Art et d'Histoire") & 50 km from Paray-le-Monial. An unusual and soothing "pied à terre", ideal for a cosy getaway for two!

Charming 18th-century village house - steeped in history & carefully restored with style via a bold, elegant contemporary extension - on the edge of a peaceful, mainly pedestrian alley, on the very first heights of the town. In a quiet residential area of the historic center, just a stone's throw from the illustrious medieval abbey, a world-renowned heritage gem, and all amenities (within easy walking distance). Nestled in the wooded foothills of the South Burgundy massif between two state forests, in the heart of the bucolic Grosne valley, partly protected as a "Natura 2000 Zone", the spiritual heart of medieval Europe, with the rare & highly prestigious "European Heritage" label, Cluny boasts a priceless heritage and a magnificent preserved rural setting (sumptuous landscapes & panoramas), a succession of vineyard hillsides, hedged farmland, wooded hills & rivers, to be discovered on nature walks (on foot, by bike or mountain bike). Very comfortable gîte with unusual & atypical interior architecture. The spacious living area is enhanced by a sculptural, ultra-design staircase. A warm, contemporary feel with a mix of pop and Scandinavian touches, enhanced by a fine heritage restoration (original stone walls & lintels, beams & roof timbers...). Enormous charm and character.
