Le grand calme

A total contrast to the hectic pace of urban life - an oasis of tranquillity and solitude

Ideal for outdoor life from May to October

3 climate zones:
If it is too hot outside, you hide behind the stonewalls of the old building (85 m²) or jump into the pool (12 x 4 x1,5 m). It has a heat pump to regulate water temperature.
If it is fresh in the evening, you stay in the huge veranda (56 m² ) with open view in all directions,
including the stars above you, and you light the fireplace
If it is warm and breezy at the top of the hill, you take a sunbath in the garden or do some hiking, cycling and horse riding

Or you visit Cluny, the cradle of the Cistercian movement, or you worship with thousands of young people from all over Europe in Taizé (both a 20 minutes drive by car)
or you visit Lyon (1 h) or Paris (3 h)
or your have some wine-tasting sessions closeby (Beaujolais, Pinot noir, Macon).

Bourgogne/ Burgundy is heartland of European history and culture. The longer you stay the more you will discover its heritage and treasures. The climate is moderate, sometimes mediterrean and sometimes "irish"- ideal for excursions in a landscape of green hills, forests, lakes and castles.
