Le Vieux Saint Vincent

Spacious apartment in an eighties-style residence nestled in a peaceful residential neighborhood in the historic center of Burgundy's most southern city, a stone's throw from all amenities and leisure facilities. Nestled on the banks of the Saône (with an on-site river marina) at the very southern tip of the Mâconnais mountains, on the borders of the southern Burgundy massif and the upper Beaujolais, Mâcon enjoys an ultra-privileged location on the "Burgundy Wine Route", the Romanesque church circuit (a unique historical heritage in France), and the greenway that runs alongside the Saône (connected to EuroVélo17), a signposted "balade verte" footpath (a very rich network of similar footpaths winding between vineyards & nature to be explored in the area), 3 km from a 17 km "Coup de Cœur" cycling loop, 5 km from the first vineyards of the bucolic Côtes Mâconnaises (including the famous "Val Lamartinien" named after the famous native French poet and writer), 6 km from the GR76 & very close to a vast network of signposted mountain bike trails (straddling the two surrounding massifs). Ideal location, at the crossroads of the Rhône & Ain rivers, at the crossroads of the Mâconnais, Beaujolais (numerous vineyards to explore), Clunisois-Tournugeois (labelled "Pays d'Art et d'Histoire", largely classified & protected as a "Zone Natura 2000") & Bresse de l'Ain, splendidly preserved territories with sublime landscapes, steeped in history, culture and gastronomy. Ideal location for easy access (RCEA, A6 & A40 nearby): 6.5 km from the Mâcon Loché TGV train station, 8 km from the Commanderie golf course, 11 km from the sumptuous Roches de Solutré & Vergisson landscape jewel, classified as a "Grand Site de France", 16 km from the Touroparc Zoo animal park, 25 km from the illustrious abbey town of Cluny, 31 km from Tournus (world-renowned abbey site), 35 km from Beaujeu (historic capital of Beaujolais), 40 km from Villefranche-sur-Saône & 42 km from Bourg-en-Bresse. The ideal address for a stopover or sightseeing break, or for a business trip!

A passionate "deuchiste" (he himself owns four Citroën "2 CVs" / free garage on site for any customer who also owns a "deux chevaux"!), Vincent welcomes you to a peaceful "eighties" residence (1986), nestled in a quiet residential area of downtown Mâcon, opposite the ancient Romanesque cathedral "Saint-Vincent" & its two majestic towers, remnants of the original edifice (now the Musée du Vieux Saint-Vincent). Pleasant, quiet setting on the edge of narrow lanes, nestled in the heart of the historic center, just a stone's throw from the banks of the Saône, along the "green and blue paths" (600 m on foot) and the pedestrian shopping center (all amenities on site, just a stone's throw away). Labelled as a "Station Classée de Tourisme", the birthplace of the famous poet Lamartine, Burgundy's southernmost city boasts a rich heritage to discover (Église St-Pierre, maison de bois, Hôtel Dieu, St-Vincent Romanesque cathedral, Ursulines convent...), numerous sports and leisure facilities and a full range of shops and services. Beautiful, undulating wine-growing countryside in the vicinity of the town, easily accessible by bike or on foot. Spacious apartment with a mix & match of contemporary cachet, vintage eighties spirit & classic ambiance.
