Le Silence des Prés

Elegant character house dating from 1860, steeped in history & meticulously restored, quietly situated on the edge of a meadow 9 km from Autun, a "Ville d'Art & d'Histoire", a historic "relais de Rome" in the heart of Burgundy, rich in 2000 years of human presence (all amenities on site). Nestled in a peaceful residential hamlet overlooking the typical village of Curgy, this pleasant setting is surrounded by nature and greenery in the heart of the Morvan countryside, on a bucolic, undulating bocage plateau bordering one of France's largest wild and unspoilt forested areas (crossed by the GR131 & 137). A privileged location on the southeastern slopes of the Morvan massif, at the gateway to the Parc Naturel, in the heart of the Autunois, a sublime natural territory steeped in traditions, legends and mysteries, rich in literally exceptional heritage (ancient, medieval, industrial...) and grandiose landscapes. Ideally located at the crossroads of the Pays Couchois & Beaunois, Côte d'Or & Nièvre, on the Romanesque church circuit & a signposted cyclo route, 3.5 km from the greenway connected to the EuroVélos6, 9 km from a 16 km "coup de cœur" mountain bike trail connected to the legendary GTMC (Grande Traversée du Massif Central), 7 km from the first marked "balade verte" footpath (very rich network of hiking trails in the area), 10 km from the departure station of the "Vélorail du Morvan" (22 km of unusual rides in the heart of nature) & 22 km from the first Couchois vineyards (Côtes Chalonnaises) adjoining the illustrious Côtes de Beaune & Hautes Côtes de Beaune (several wine routes to explore, including the prestigious "Route des Grands Crus"). 31 km from the wine & spa town of Santenay (casino on site), 32 km from the famous Gallo-Roman archeological site of Bibracte (Grand Site de France), 33 km from Le Creusot (renowned Parc d'attraction des Combes / Le Creusot TGV station 39 km away), 34 km from the river marina of Saint-Léger-sur-Dheune linked to the famous Canal du Centre (the "Quiet River"), a navigable route to be discovered on a boat trip or on foot), 44 km from Beaune, 45 km from Château-Chinon, 46 km from the famous Lac des Settons (supervised sandy beach, nautical leisure center & multiple water activities) & 54 km from Chalon-sur-Saône (labeled "Ville d'Art & d'Histoire"). A choice address for a comfortable stopover or budget stay!

Guadeloupean by birth, Burgundian by adoption, and literally in love with her region for over 40 years, Laure welcomes you to an elegant, character-filled 1860 mansion, carefully restored and steeped in history ("maison de maitre" once linked to a large "bourgeois" farm, whose outbuildings remain). Total tranquility in the heart of the Morvan countryside, perched on the edge of meadows overlooking a small pond on a bucolic, open, well-exposed bocage plateau, on the edge of a peaceful rural hamlet overlooking the village of Curgy (listed 11th-century Romanesque church), 10 km from the majestic Château de Sully (16th-century / MH listed), one of France's finest private châteaux open to the public and the birthplace of Mac Mahon, President of the French Republic. Nestled in a verdant bocage valley bordering an immense wild forest (a collection of several vast state forests) & the bucolic valley of the Drée (a fish-filled river), this typical little village boasts a soothing, unspoilt country setting of gentle rolling mountains. Comfortable rooms nestled under the roofs in "cocoon" mode, combining "bourgeois" country cachet with a more contemporary spirit. Spacious shower rooms. Delightful living room enhanced by rich original features (floor tiles, French ceiling, mantelpiece, etc.). Large, exposed & shaded terrace, opening onto a pleasant, intimate natural garden with flowers, plants & trees (apple, cherry, peach...) nestled on the edge of meadows (not overlooked).
