Chalet Mathieu - THIL SUR ARROUX

Stay on the shores of a bucolic lake, perfect for swimming and fishing, on the edge of the Morvan Regional Natural Park! This small chalet is nestled in a peaceful setting – on a pleasant 2000m² private plot shared with two other cottages – in the heart of a plateau of fields and wooded meadows bordering the "Étang des Baudurettes" (Baudurettes Pond), 12 km from the charming, typical market town of Luzy, steeped in history (rich heritage and numerous amenities including supermarkets). Enjoy absolute tranquility, nestled in a soothing haven of nature and greenery, just a stone's throw from the center of this picturesque little village. In the heart of the gentle, unspoiled Morvan countryside (largely protected as a ZNIEFF for its rich ecosystems), a magnificent hilly setting combining agriculture & nature between hedgerows, ponds & deep wild forests, nestled at the very southern tip of the Morvan massif in the heart of the green Arroux valley, not far from the Uchon massif & its renowned summit of the "Signal d'Uchon" ("the Pearl of the Morvan", a classified natural site). Ideally located on the routes of several marked "green walks" (a vast network of similar hiking trails crisscrossing the region, for walking or mountain biking) and the "Cycloroute71" (Tour of Saône-et-Loire by bike), near the Romanesque churches circuit, 4 km from the GR13 connected to the GRP of the "Grand Tour of the Morvan Massif", 12 km from the legendary GMTC mountain bike route (Grande Traversée du Massif Central connected to the "Morvan to the Vineyards" Green Way), 34 km from the Canal du Centre Green Way alongside the EuroVelo 6 cycle route and the "Tour de Bourgogne à Vélo" cycle route, about fifty kilometers from the first vineyards of the Couchois (Côtes Chalonnaises) and the Mâconnais, and about sixty kilometers from the world-renowned vineyards of the Côtes de Beaune and Hautes Côtes de Beaune ("Route des Grands Vins" extended by the illustrious "Route des Grands Crus" to explore). At the crossroads of the Nièvre, at the intersection of the Charollais-Brionnais, labeled "Pays d'Art et d'Histoire", a land of livestock farming & traditions (cradle of the AOC of the world-renowned cattle breed) and the sublime preserved territory of the Autunois, steeped in legends & mysteries, rich in grandiose landscapes as well as an exceptional historical heritage (ancient, medieval, industrial...). 9 km from the famous Paldenshangpa Buddhist temple, 15 km from Diverti'Parc (a unique family-oriented nature park in Burgundy), 23 km from the renowned Gallo-Roman archaeological site of Bibracte, a designated "Grand Site de France", 29 km from Autun (a designated "City of Art & History" with over 2,000 years of human presence!), 37 km from Le Creusot (home to the famous Combes amusement park / Le Creusot TGV train station 45 km away), 39 km from the medieval spa town of Bourbon-Lancy, 41 km from Digoin (a river marina connected to both the Canal du Centre and the "tranquil canal" linking Digoin to Roanne), 44 km from Château-Chinon, 47 km from Paray-le-Monial, and 47 km from the medieval village of Mont-Saint-Vincent (with its panoramic viewpoint). A unique 360° view in Burgundy, and 48 km from Charolles. The two cottages on the property (including cottage #3348) can be rented together, accommodating up to 12 people. The perfect "riverside retreat" for a truly rejuvenating break with family or friends! Emeline and Mathieu, who run the village inn (a family-run, semi-gastronomic establishment that earned it the "Village Gourmand" designation), welcome you to a small, contemporary chalet reminiscent of a rural cottage. Nestled at the end of a small, drivable dirt track, it sits in a peaceful haven of nature and greenery on the banks of the idyllic Étang des Baudurettes (a 6-hectare pond equipped for swimming and fishing, with a children's playground and multi-sports court). Enjoy peace and tranquility in this tiny hamlet, situated on a 2000m² property (complete with a pétanque court) overlooking a vast plateau of fields and wooded meadows, just a stone's throw from the charming village center and its elegant church. Nestled in the heart of the unspoiled countryside (largely protected as a ZNIEFF area for its rich flora and fauna), this magnificent setting of gently rolling mountains combines hedgerows, rivers, ponds, and deep, wild forests (perfect for hiking or mountain biking). It lies in the verdant Arroux Valley (with its fish-filled river, ideal for leisurely canoe or kayak trips), on the edge of the Morvan Massif and its Regional Natural Park. This comfortable cottage boasts a warm, contemporary style with rustic mountain touches. Enjoy the panoramic balcony-terrace.
