Gîte de la Forêt - PARAY-LE-MONIAL
Danielle & Serge (comic book enthusiast, owner of an exceptional collection of 15,000 books, which can be consulted in his company) welcome you to an authentic country farmhouse from the early 20th century, fully restored, nestled in a peaceful residential hamlet near the center of the charming city of "Sacré Cœur" nestled on the banks of the famous Canal du Centre, a mecca of Romanesque art in the "Pays d'Art et d'Histoire", rich in a literally exceptional heritage (Basilica of the Sacré-Cœur from the end of the 11th century, a masterpiece of Romanesque art, the best preserved Cluniac architecture in Burgundy, Eucharistic Museum of Hiéron, the oldest museum of sacred art in France, etc.) as well as all the amenities & leisure facilities. Soothing green setting all around, nestled in the heart of the preserved "parodian" countryside, on a bucolic hilly plateau of fields & wooded meadows in the hollow of the gentle Bourbince valley & its fish-filled river (protected in ZNIEFF for its fauna & flora riches) and the famous Charolais bocage dotted with ponds, not far from beautiful wild forests (including the Bois des Aisances rich in many small paths for relaxing walks in the undergrowth). Very comfortable cottage. Beautiful volume of the living room in the "cathedral" spirit. Warm contemporary character. Zen & soft atmosphere. Large bedroom nestled under the roofs in "cocoon" mode. Intimate planted courtyard with a small lawned garden & a pleasant shaded terrace under reed (covered by wisteria). Composition: Semi-detached house (with owners' premises + rented accommodation belonging to them / next to their house in total independence without vis-à-vis). Wifi (fiber). Gas central heating. Ground floor: kitchen-living room-lounge, 1 bedroom (double bed 140x190cm + 1 single bed 90x190cm), bathroom (shower), separate toilet. 1st floor: 1 bedroom (2 single beds 120x190cm). Courtyard + garden + terrace + private parking. Bicycle storage. All amenities including supermarkets 2 km away. Between "town & country"! Authentic country farmhouse dating from the early 20th century, fully restored, located in a quiet area in the middle of the "Parodian" countryside, in a peaceful residential area adjoining the small local aerodrome (without nuisance), 2 km from the town center of Paray-le-Monial, an illustrious sanctuary city of the "Sacré Cœur" of world renown (all amenities on site) crossed by the famous "Canal du Centre" (to be discovered by boat or on foot). Soothing rural setting all around, nestled in the hollow of the verdant Bourbince valley (protected in ZNIEFF for its faunal & floristic riches) mixing fields of culture & bucolic Charolais bocage dotted with ponds & gentle wild forests. Ideally located on the routes of the Romanesque churches circuit & various marked hiking trails in "green walks" (starting from the town / very rich network of identical hiking trails to discover in the area), 3 km from the Green Way "Véloire" along the banks of the Loire & the "quiet canal" connecting Roanne to Digoin (the last wild river in Europe classified and protected in "Natura 2000 Zone" for its rich ecosystems) next to the "Cycloroute71" (Tour de Saône et Loire by bike), 3 km from the EuroVélo6 cycle route connected to the "Tour de Bourgogne à Vélo", around fifty km from the vineyards of the Côtes Maconnaises as Roannaises & around sixty km from Beaujolais (the first vineyard in the world recognized as a "UNESCO World Geopark" / various wine routes to discover including the "Burgundy Wine Route"). Prime location at the very southern tip of Burgundy, at the crossroads of the Allier, the Loire & the Rhône, in the heart of the magnificent territory of Charolais-Brionnais (labeled "Pays d'Art et d'Histoire"), cradle of the world-renowned AOC cattle breed, rich in sublime landscapes and an exceptional historical heritage, at the crossroads of Sologne & Montagne Bourbonnaise and the Pays Roannais, not far from "Clunisois-Tournugeois" (labeled "Pays d'Art et d'Histoire"). Perfect location for easy travel (RCEA nearby): 13 km from Charolles, 14 km from Digoin (river marina of Digoin connected to the "Canal du Centre" & "quiet canal" linking Digoin to Roanne), 26 km from Marcigny ("Clunisois site" particularly known for its Monday morning market created in 1266), 27 km from La Clayette, 29 km from the charming medieval village of Semur-en-Brionnais with the very rare label "Most beautiful villages of France", 41 km from the characterful town of Charlieu (exceptional Romanesque Benedictine abbey), 43 km from the spa & medieval town of Bourbon-Lancy, 49 km from the very famous PAL amusement park, 50 km from the TGV station of Le Creusot (Mâcon Loché TGV 65 km away) & 51 km from the illustrious abbey city of Cluny.
