Gîte de la Billarde - COUCHES

Éliane and Pascal welcome you to their contemporary house, nestled in the heart of the Chalonnaise countryside, just 3 km from the historic town of Couches, a designated "Green Holiday Resort." Don't miss its famous 13th-century castle, where legend has it that Margaret of Burgundy stayed for a few days! Take a stroll through the village to admire the Romanesque church with its woodwork, the Château de la Tour Guérin, the priory – a monastery that became an abbey and then a priory again – the Templar house, the seven Neolithic menhirs of Epoigny, and finally the Château de Mardor – the former residence of the Montagu family, later a hospital, and then donated to the Red Cross, which still owns it. This spacious, comfortable, and bright cottage boasts a warm, contemporary décor.
