La maison est charmante, située dans un joli petit village permettant de nombreuses promenades.

Nous avons quelques petits regrets concernant la literie trop souple, l'absence de lave-vaisselle et l'évier un peu petit pour faire la vaisselle à la main. Le site parle d'une boulangerie à proximité mais elle est fermée (en vente). Les escaliers ne sont pas munis de mains courantes et celui menant au 2ème étage est dangereux pour les enfants. Sinon, tout est parfait, calme et entretenu. La dame qui nous a accueillis est charmante. C'était des vacances très reposantes comme on les aime.

Rundum schöne Wohnung für den erholsamen Urlaub

Die Wohnlage ist sehr zentral und trotzdem ruhig gelegen. Wir fühlten uns sofort zuhause , geschmackvoll eingerichtet und auf drei Etagen Platz für insgesamt 4-5 Kinder plus Hund. Gigny liegt etwas abgelegen mitten auf der `` Petit Montagne ``ùnd ist hervorragend geeignet als Ausgangspunkt für lange Hundespaziergänge, Wandern allgemein und Fahrradtouren. Es gibt einen kleinen Supermarkt und eine Bäckerei im Ort. Die Kirche, die ein Anziehungspunkt für viele Besucher bildet, liegt direkt gegenüber von dem Ferienhaus. Vermieter sind sehr freundlich , besonders die Mutter der Vermieterin ... Wer Ruhe und Erholung sucht , vor allem in der Natur , ist hier genau richtig..

Spacious house in charming little village

We spend nearly a week in this nice, with love renovated town house that was once part of an old abbey. The church is right on the opposite of the entrance door and the market place is just under the terrace on the other side. Everything is exact like in the upper description. Everything was clean and neat. We just felt at home when we entered the door. We had Pizza on Saturday evening, bought our bread and things in the local supermarket and took a lot of walks around the village with our little dog. The only little disadvantage was, that one of the rooms has to be passed through to get in the other rooms. The people living around are friendly and welcoming. We once had to call someone for picking up his straying dog (please say hello to this really friendly dog named Scooby Doo if he visits You!) and we just rang at a house for someone making the phone call for us in French since our French is not so well and the lady was very friendly and not curious about us and just called the owner. This place is full of history as well as the whole area. We visited several churches and the grotto of Baume les Messieurs. You have to go there when You come there! And don´t forget to by the lovely cheese from Saint Julien! We would recommend this gite for everyone!
Response from VrboOwner on 15 Mar, 2021
We are so glad you enjoyed your stay in our gite. A few of our guests have mentioned the Pizza van that comes to the village every Saturday evening which is great when you've just arrived and don't feel like cooking. We too love the comté cheese from St Julien which is made from milk from the cows that surround the village. Thanks for pointing out the grotto at Baume as well. We look forward to welcoming you again.

Wonderful house in beautiful Gigny

We spent a wonderful week in Gigny, in a very tastefully renovated old house. The location is perfect ( opposite the abbaye and from the terrace overlooking the 'town' square). In the village you will find a small bakery and a small but well-equiped supermarket. Everybody was very nice and patient with our horrible French. A car is really necessary for undertaking trips. In the house is various information about things to do available. Our children (10 and 13) missed having internet, but that was the only comment they had. We can warmly recommend this beautiful gite! van Dort family, The Netherlands

Many thanks for your review. We are really glad you enjoyed your stay in our gite particularly your teenager who managed without internet. We intentionally don't have a TV in the gite but there are games and books that you are welcome to use during your stay.

Séjour à Gigny juillet-août 2012

Gîte de Gigny agréable au confort simple mais suffisant pour des vacances familiales dans de bonnes conditions. Les plus : de bonnes indications complètes à la location, l'accueil convivial à l'arrivée, la supérette plus que bien achalandée à la sortie du village, le voisin sympathique et bavard ( le café Chez Gilles), le fait que l'on se sente dans une maison de famille avec du matériel à disposition (barbecue, jeux et guides touristiques entre autres ) et l'environnement ( la proximité avec les lacs pour des baignades bienvenues en été) Le moins : un seul bémol en ce qui nous concerne : le matelas du troisième lit dans la chambre aux lits superposés !

Etant des habitants du village, nous avions reservés ce magnifique gite situé face à l'eglise pour une fête de famille. Elle a été ravie et tres satisfaite de ce jolie logement qui dispose de tout le confort. La literie est parfaite .... Tout etait parfait, nous recommandons ce gite à toute famille qui souhaite la tranquillité et le charme d'une maison de village. Merci à la propriétaire, pour son accueil et sa gentillesse. Nous ne manquerons pas à d'autres occasions de faire appel à vos services.

peace and quiet in La France Profonde

This is the perfect retreat for those who like the quiet life.The cottage is in a fine position,opposite the ancient Cluniac abbey.Gigny is not a pretty-pretty village but it is steeped in history.There are many ancient houses.The village is surrounded by wooded hills and fields,and the local cows have clanging bells.The local people are friendly and welcoming,although one needs to have a bit of French in order to communicate! Also,one must have a car,as there is no public transport- at least,we saw none.The local supermarket is well-stocked with local produce and general goods. The interior of the cottage is homely and there was everything we needed for a week's stay.It is the owner's second home and there are many of the children's books and games on shelves and in cupboards on the ground floor.There is no television,thank goodness.There are available several interesting books about life in the Jura and on La Petite Montagne in particular. We used the double bedroom.The bed provided a wonderful night's sleep.All the linens were of good quality. There was plenty of hanging space for clothes,but not enough shelf space for underwear,etc. The bathroom was very clean and well-appointed. We had a happy stay in Gigny. Thanks.

Thanks for your review. It's lovely to get an external perspective on our gite and the Jura. If you are looking to try out your French you will certainly get the opportunity in and around Gigny which is off the beaten track and very much a local village. The supermarket is the best place to put any rusty French back into practice. You are correct about public transport. The village is small and buses are extremely infrequent so you do need a car to get to the lakes and to sightsee. Thanks for the comment about space for clothes. We have given over more space for people staying in the gite from now on as a result.

Peaceful stay - great sites and lakes

We were a family of 5, including 3 children between 3 and 7 and we had a lovely time in this very quiet village. The cottage being the secondary home of the owners is very functional - although there is one thing missing: a dish washer! A car is needed to visit the lovely sites in the area recommended by the owners in a booklet left in the cottage and what we enjoyed very much was the absolute quiet roads! The roads are always yours! Franco British couple from Bristol.

Notre séjour à Gigny en juillet 2011

Nous avons apprécié notre semaine en famille dans ce gîte confortable très bien situé en face d' une magnifique abbaye. Village calme disposant d'une supérette bien utile. L'intérieur du gîte est agréable et dispose d'une petite terrasse arborée où l'on peut y prendre les repas ou se reposer sur des chaises longues. A noter que les draps, linges de toilette et de vaisselle sont mis gracieusement à la disposition des vacanciers ce qui est un avantage non négligeable. Bon séjour donc à Gigny !
