le Petit Chambi

A soothing haven of peace & relaxation on the banks of the Loire! Authentic 19th-century "maison de gardien" (janitor's cottage), carefully restored & revisited as a gentle holiday retreat, nestled on an intimate, well-kept property in the heart of a peaceful residential hamlet, 3.5 km from the charming medieval & shopping town of Marcigny, a "site clunisois" renowned in particular for its Monday morning market created in 1266 (many amenities on site, including supermarkets). Total tranquility on the edge of a small, typical village along the "Canal tranquille" linking Roanne to Digoin, nestled on the banks of the Loire (Europe's last wild river, classified & protected as a "Natura 2000 Zone" for its very rich ecosystem) in the heart of the Brionnais countryside, in a magnificent, unspoilt natural setting combining plains & valleys, sumptuous bocage, ponds & beautiful wild forests. Ideally located on the Romanesque church circuit, on a marked "balade verte" footpath (a very rich network of similar footpaths & mountain bike trails in the area), 2 km from the Voie Verte "Véloire" (connected to EuroVélo6), 3.5 km from a referenced 30 km "Coup de Cœur" mountain bike itinerary, 3.5 km from a 55 km "Coup de Cœur bike loop" (identical 49 km route accessible at 10 km), around 30 km from the first Côtes Roannaises vineyards & around 50 km from the Beaujolais vineyards (& the "Burgundy Wine Route"). Privileged location at the very southern tip of Burgundy, in the heart of the magnificent Charolais-Brionnais region (labelled "Pays d'Art et d'Histoire"), cradle of the world-renowned AOC cattle and sheep breeds, rich in sumptuous landscapes and an exceptional historical heritage, at the crossroads of Sologne & Montagne Bourbonnaise and Pays Roannais, not far from Mâconnais-Clunisois & Beaujolais. Ideal location for easy access to several départements (at the crossroads of Allier, Loire & Rhône): 7 km from Semur-en-Brionnais, which boasts the prestigious "Plus beaux villages de France" label, 24 km from Charlieu (exceptional Romanesque Benedictine abbey), 26 km from Paray-le-Monial ("cité du sacré cœur"), 27 km from La Clayette, 27 km from Digoin (river marina at the convergence of 3 renowned canals, including the famous Canal du Centre), 31 km from Charolles, 33 km from Roanne & 51 km from the famous PAL theme park. A relaxing "cocoon of charm & serenity" for a green getaway with family or friends!

Béatrice & Pierre open the doors to a carefully restored, authentic "maison de gardien", once linked to the elegant, history-laden mansion they occupy next door, also perfectly restored (a former hunting lodge dating from 1860), nestled in the calm of an intimate, charming property, nestled behind a "plant barrier", on the banks of the Loire, a preserved natural site classified as a "Natura 2000 Zone" for the quality of its exceptional plant & animal biotope (migration, reproduction and nesting axis for numerous species, some very rare / fish, amphibians, mammals, birds...). Total tranquility in the heart of a peaceful residential hamlet on the outskirts of a typical village on the banks of the "Canal tranquille" leading from Roanne to Digoin (nautical stopover on site with lock offering an Unusual spectacle as pleasure boats pass through), also featuring a multi-sports playground. A literal haven of peace & relaxation just a stone's throw from the peaceful surrounding Brionnais Countryside. Spacious, comfortable Holiday cottage. Rooms of noble dimensions. Warm, vintage feel, worthy of a gentle Countryside home, combined with the exotic soul of the place (rich traces of the original building: stone fireplace mantel, beams, remains of an old bread oven...). Lots of charm & character. Large, exposed & shaded terrace ("east" side) opens onto a pleasant garden planted with trees, tucked away from view behind the trees.
