Le Pigeonnier de la Tour

Follow in the footsteps of Mme D'Artagnan, wife of the famous musketeer! Atypical, charming B&B in an authentic 18th-century "pigeonnier", nestled in the heart of the sublime local bocage, on a vast property steeped in history and covering several hectares, in the heart of the Charolais countryside, 5 km from the charming medieval & commercial town of Charolles, famous city of Charles the Bold (the "Venice of Charolles" with numerous amenities including supermarkets). Absolute tranquility in a scattered rural hamlet, immersed in a magnificent, unspoilt natural setting of rolling pastures, a stone's throw from a vast forest, on the route of the Romanesque church circuit, signposted footpaths (including a rich network of "balades verte" to discover on foot or mountain bike) & a referenced 63 km "boucle vélo coup de cœur" (several other itineraries of this type accessible within a 20 km radius), 11 kms from the Voie Verte "Véloire" (running alongside the Loire, Europe's last wild river, protected as a "Natura 2000 Zone") adjoining the EuroVélo6 (running alongside the famous "Canal du Centre") as well as the "Cycloroute71" (Tour de Saône et Loire by bike) or the "Tour de Bourgogne à vélo", about 40 km from the Mâconnais vineyards, 50 km from the Côtes Chalonnaises & 60 km from the Côtes Roannaises (various wine routes to explore, including the "Route des Vins de Bourgogne" & the "Route des Grands Vins"). In the heart of the magnificent Charolais-Brionnais region (labelled "Pays d'Art et d'Histoire" / cradle of the world-renowned AOC cattle breed), a land of gastronomy, sublime landscapes & an exceptional historical heritage, at the crossroads of the Mâconnais, the Clunisois-Tournugeois (labelled "Pays d'Art et d'Histoire"), the Chalonnais and the Beaujolais (first vineyard in the world to be recognized as a "UNESCO World Geopark"), not far from the Sologne & Montagne Bourbonnaise and the Pays Roannais. Ideal for easy access (RCEA 6 km away): 13 km from Paray-le-Monial (famous "Sacré Coeur" town), 24 km from La Clayette, 29 km from Digoin (Digoin river marina connected to the "Canal du Centre" & "Canal tranquille" linking Digoin to Roanne), 33 km from Marcigny, 34 km from Semur-en-Brionnais with its rare "Plus beaux villages de France" label, 35 km from the medieval village of Mont-Saint-Vincent (one of the most beautiful sites in Burgundy, with a literally unique 360° panoramic "belvedere"), 43 km from Charlieu (exceptional Romanesque Benedictine abbey), 45 km from the illustrious abbey town of Cluny, 48 km from Le Creusot TGV station, 49 km from the medieval & spa town of Bourbon-Lancy & 51 km from the medieval village of Saint-Gengoux-le-National ("Cités de Caractère de Bourgogne-Franche-Comté" label).
