l’Epicerie

Martine & Rémy open the doors of a charming traditional house of character dating from 1885, carefully restored & full of history (former village coaching inn), nestled on an unusual property where stands (at the entrance on the street side) "La Pierre aux Fées", an authentic "engraved" Celtic menhir classified as a "Historic Monument" ("standing stone" of 15 tonnes & 6 meters, the highest of this type in Saône-et-Loire) exceptional Neolithic vestige & true heritage pearl of Burgundy. In the heart of a peaceful little residential & agricultural village perched "in belvedere" on a hill overlooking the gentle rolling Creusot countryside, on the edge of southern Châlonnais, a peaceful preserved rural & natural setting dotted with lakes, ponds & rivers (partly protected in "Natura 2000 Zone" & "ZNIEFF" for its fauna & flora riches) combining bucolic groves & vast wild forests, in close proximity to the first vineyards (Côtes Chalonnaises) as well as the old mining basins converted towards fun outdoor & cultural activities (exceptional 19th and 20th century manufacturing heritage to discover). Comfortable gîte. Beautiful volumes. Warm country character with contemporary accents mixed with the exotic soul of an old building (preservation of the "dated" stone chimney breast & original beams). Large terrace nestled "in the shade" of the menhir opening onto a pleasant garden offering a beautiful unobstructed view of the surrounding countryside.
