Un Air de Campagne à la Ville

A literal little corner of the countryside, nestled in a quiet, "cut-off" area right in the middle of town! A very comfortable little apartment - with an intimate private terrace & a pleasant enclosed communal garden - set in a beautiful, lovingly restored 1930s house (housing two completely independent gîtes, one opposite the other), just a 5-minute walk from the train station, in a peaceful residential area adjoining the town center. A prime location, easily accessible, in the heart of Burgundy's famous river & wine town - labeled "Ville d'Art et d'Histoire" - birthplace of Nicéphore Niepce's invention of photography, close to all shops, services and monuments, 1 km from the banks of the Saône & the greenway (connected to EuroVélo6), Île Saint-Laurent & its river marina (departure point for the historic Canal du Centre), not far from the Romanesque church circuit and the world-renowned vineyards of Côtes Chalonnaises, Côtes de Beaune and Hautes Côtes de Beaune and their various wine routes (including the illustrious Route des Grands Crus). At the crossroads of the Chalonnais, Pays Beaunois, Autunois and Bresse Bourguignonne regions, all of which boast magnificent landscapes, renowned gastronomy and an exceptional historical heritage. Ideal for touring: 2.5 km from the A6 (exit 25 / quick & easy access) and very close to the RCEA, 28 km from Tournus (& its world-renowned abbey site), 30 km from Beaune (illustrious fortified town, "capital of Burgundy wines"), 33 km from the TGV station at Le Creusot, 39 km from Louhans (& its iconic medieval street with 157 arcades), 40 km from Seurre, 48 km from the famous abbey town of Cluny, 52 km from Autun ("Ville d'Art et d'Histoire", rich in a priceless heritage spanning over 2000 years of human presence) & 59 km from Mâcon. The perfect cocoon for a stopover or sightseeing break - between town, nature and countryside - or for a business trip! Can be rented together with the property's second gîte (reference no. 3160) for a total capacity of 8 people.

Sylvie & Gilles are passionate wine lovers, cyclists and hikers, and welcome you to an authentic 1930s mansion that has been carefully restored to create a comfortable holiday home, nestled in a quiet alleyway on the edge of a peaceful residential neighborhood adjacent to the nearby town center. A privileged setting not far from the banks of the Saône, it's like being literally "cut off from the world" in an unusual and exotic setting. A veritable "jewel case" of greenery, just a stone's throw from shops and services and the historic pedestrian heart of Chalon. Labelled a "Ville d'Art et d'Histoire", the Burgundian city boasts a rich heritage (half-timbered houses, towers and turrets, fortifications and bastions, Saint Vincent cathedral, former episcopal palace, "Piccolo" Italian-style theater, Saint-Laurent island hospital chapel...) & a high level of cultural and leisure facilities. Bright, comfortable apartment. Warm contemporary style. Cosy, soft & very Zen atmosphere. Pleasant, enclosed, grassed garden (shared with the house's other gîte) nestled at the back of the house. Charming little private terrace, shaded & planted, nestled out of sight.
