Les Grandes Verchères

Spacious, comfortable Holiday cottage - combining meticulous heritage renovation with a contemporary feel - nestled in an elegant, traditional 19th-century farmhouse full of character. Pleasant little village nestled in a peaceful Countryside setting, on the route of the Romanesque church circuit (over 100 churches and chapels to discover) & the Voie Verte to Charolles, 22 km from the first vineyards of the Mâconnais. In the heart of the magnificent, unspoilt Charolais-Brionnais region (with the "Pays d'Art et d'Histoire" label), cradle of the world-renowned AOC cattle and sheep breeds, with its exceptional historical heritage, renowned gastronomy and superb rolling countryside, including its famous bocage, dotted with numerous nature walks (550 km of signposted footpaths & over 200 Hiking trails, many starting on site!) Ideally located for exploring southern Burgundy: 5 km from Charolles, 18 km from Paray-le-Monial (the "City of the Sacred Heart" & its illustrious basilica), 24 km from La Clayette, 32 km from Digoin (& its river Marina), 34 km from the famous abbey town of Cluny & Marcigny and 51 km from Mâcon. The perfect cocoon for an ultra-relaxing getaway, with family and friends alike, and the famous Charolais cows as gentle neighbors!

Elegant, traditional 19th-century farmhouse with character, carefully restored with taste, nestled in the Countryside on the edge of meadows (where peaceful Charolais graze in summer).
