Les Carrières

Authentic 19th-century Burgundy farmhouse, fully restored with loving care, nestled in the heart of a peaceful, typical village on the banks of the Saône - in a protected Natura 2000 area - on an unusual site (a former quarry with some imposing boulders on the courtyard side!), facing the charming gastronomic town of Tournus, gateway to southern Burgundy, & its world-renowned abbey site on the opposite bank (all amenities on site). Prime location on the Romanesque churches circuit & a signposted mountain bike loop, 2 km from the voie verte, a 42 km "Coup de cœur" cycling loop and the renowned GTM (Grand Tour du Massif Sud Bourgogne) itinerary, within easy reach of several signposted "balades vertes" hiking trails, 5 km from the first vineyards of the Haut Mâconnais (and the wine route) and 5 km from the Réserve Naturelle de la Truchère (a remarkable ecosystem, a mosaic of natural environments nestled near the Saône-Seille confluence). Particularly privileged central location - equidistant from Dijon and Lyon - bordering the Mâconnais vineyards, very close to the Côtes Chalonnaises & famous Côtes de Beaune (various wine routes to explore), at the crossroads of the rich territories of Tournugeois-Clunisois (labelled "Pays d'Art et d'Histoire"), Mâconnais, Bresse Bourguignonne and Chalonnais.
