Octopussy

A literal haven of peace and relaxation! The address of choice for every film buff! Charming former 19th-century farm outbuilding - carefully converted into a literal "cocoon of charm" - nestled in a superb 8000m² enclosed property (ecologically landscaped in the spirit of a "micro farm" with peaceful animals), quietly located 4 km from the typical village of La Chapelle-Saint-Sauveur (boasting a rare & renowned natural lake for "biological swimming") & 6 km from the charming shopping town of Pierre-de-Bresse (numerous amenities including 2 supermarkets & a renowned eco-museum housed in a sumptuous 17th-century château). Absolute tranquility in the heart of a small rural hamlet nestled in the Bresse countryside, in the heart of a magnificently preserved bocage plain combining meadows, forests & bucolic ponds, partly classified and protected as a "Zone Natura 2000" (for its very rich ecosystems), very close to the first wooded foothills of the Jura massif and the banks of the Doubs (protected natural site, paradise for fishermen and nature lovers alike). Location of choice, on the routes of several signposted hiking trails (linked to a vast network of hiking trails, most of them signposted as "balades vertes", criss-crossing the region, on foot or mountain bike) & the "Cycloroute 71" (Tour de Saône-et-Loire by bike), 16 km from the Voie Bleue along the banks of the Saône (linked to the EuroVélo6 cycle route), 20 km from the river Marina de Verdun-sur-le-Doubs (at the confluence of the Saône & Doubs rivers), 22 km from the GRP de la Bresse Comtoise, 23 km from the "Voie du Tacot" greenway (serving Beaune), 25 km from the Voie Verte de la Bresse Jurasienne, 30 km from the Voie Verte "Voie Bressane", about 30 km from the first vineyards of the Jura & about 50 km from the vineyards of the Chalonnais, crossing those of the famous Côtes de Beaune & Hautes Côtes de Beaune (various wine routes to discover, including the "Route des Grands Vins" & the prestigious "Route des Grands Crus"). On the borders of Bresse Bourguignonne - birthplace of the famous AOC Bresse poultry - at the crossroads of the Jura & Côte d'Or departments, not far from the Chalonnais, Tournugeois-Clunisois (labelled "Pays d'Art et d'Histoire") & Pays Beaunois. Ideal for touring several départements: 20 km from Verdun-sur-le-Doubs (river Marina at the confluence of the Saône & Doubs rivers), 26 km from Seurre, 30 km from Louhans (capital of the Bresse region), 38 km from Chalon-sur-Saône (City of Art and History), 41 km from Beaune, 41 km from Dole (labelled "City of Art and History"), 43 km from Lons-le-Saunier, 50 km from Cuisery (listed among the very exclusive 8 French "Villages du Livre") & 51 km from Tournus. Possibility of renting the property's two Holiday cottages together (with n°3226) for a capacity of 4 people). A soothing "bubble" of comfort & serenity for a relaxing breath of fresh air for two!

Valérie & Vincent (cinema enthusiasts) open the doors to a carefully restored, authentic farm outbuilding (once linked to the neighboring, perfectly renovated, traditional 19th-century Bresse farmhouse they occupy), nestled in a peaceful, secluded setting on the edge of a small reed-lined pond (home to frogs) on a peaceful, enclosed 8,000m² property planted with trees and flowers, classified as an LPO refuge, and largely "ecologically" maintained (mowing & flowering), home to a peaceful farmyard roaming freely in the spirit of a "micro-farm" (geese, hens & rooster). Absolute peace and quiet in the heart of the Bresse Countryside, in a mini rural residential hamlet nestled in a cul-de-sac in the verdant lower Doubs valley, a gentle bocage plain dotted with beautiful wild forests (partly protected as a ZNIEFF for its wealth of flora & fauna), not far from the Mountain foothills of the Jura. Soothing little "Countryside" and a literal haven of peace & rest, nestled between fields & meadows, a stone's throw from a wood & bucolic ponds, not far from the village and its Base de loisirs with a rare "natural" supervised lake with "biological swimming" ("Espace Robelin" with refreshment bar, snack bar & various leisure activities). Very comfortable Holiday cottage. Warm, romantic "Countryside chic" feel, with a rich American Cinema decor. Ultra cozy & cosy. Enormously charming. Atypical atmosphere worthy of a real "doll's house". Large sheltered terrace opening onto an intimate private wooded garden.
