Les Grands Prés

Charming 19th-century country house - steeped in history and fully restored with great care - next to the owner's family farm (farm tour possible), in a peaceful setting in the heart of the Bresse-Louhannais countryside. Peaceful little rural residential hamlet nestled in a pleasant, unspoilt agricultural setting of vast meadows & forest, in the heart of a remarkable natural site classified as a "Natura 2000 Zone". Right in the heart of Bresse Bourguignonne, a magnificent, unspoilt region - the birthplace of the famous AOC Bresse poultry - with a rich variety of landscapes, from bocage plains dotted with ponds to forests, meadows and the mountainous foothills of the Jura, criss-crossed by over 70 hiking trails marked out as "balades vertes". Prime location at the crossroads of the Côte d'Or & Jura departments (close to the Massif and its nature park) and the rich territories of the Chalonnais, Pays Beaunois & Bresse Jurasienne, 16 km from the voie verte, and less than 50 km from the world-renowned vineyards of the Côtes Chalonnaise, Côtes de Beaune & Hautes Côtes de Beaune and Jura (numerous wine routes to explore, including the Route des Grands Crus). Ideal location: 12 km from Pierre-de-Bresse, 13 km from Seurre, 14 km from the charming, typical market town of Verdun-sur-le-Doubs (at the confluence of the Doubs & Saône rivers), 33 km from Chalon-sur-Saône, 34 km from Louhans, 35 km from Beaune, 41 km from Dole, 48 km from Lons-le-Saunier and 54 km from Tournus. Ideal for a relaxing getaway for both family and friends!

Nicolas is a Montbéliarde dairy farmer on a small family farm next door (you can visit the farm). He welcomes you to an authentic, charming 19th-century country house steeped in history (formerly a village wine press and café), completely restored with great care, adjacent to a local free-range Bresse chicken farm (a curiosity for young and old alike!). In the heart of a peaceful little residential farming hamlet, typical of the area, overlooking a vast bocage plain of meadows, fields and forests, on the edge of a bucolic little river full of fish. A delightful setting and a preserved country site, relaxing and restful, nestled in the heart of the Louhannaise Bresse countryside, in the heart of a remarkable natural ecosystem classified as a "Natura 2000 Zone" (an exceptional ornithological reserve with 160 species of birds and very rare plant varieties). Comfortable gîte. Cosy country style with a contemporary feel and Nordic influences. Cosy, zen and gentle atmosphere.
