Marie-Pascale welcomes you to an authentic and charming traditional farmhouse full of character, built in the 19th century, carefully restored to the highest standards, and transformed into a very elegant and charming bed-and-breakfast, perched like a “lookout” and “panoramic viewpoint” on a gentle south-facing hill, overlooking—like a balcony—a bucolic valley of wooded meadows (with the peaceful and famous Charolais cows as your privileged neighbors). Absolute tranquility, nestled in the heart of the rolling Brionnais countryside (protected as a ZNIEFF for its rich flora and fauna), amidst the sublime local bocage, not far from the banks of the Loire—the “last wild river in Europe” (protected as a “Natura 2000” site for its exceptional plant and animal habitats), and the first wooded foothills of the Monts du Beaujolais.
