la Bressane - Lans - Gîte

Christine & Bernard (former railwayman, owner of magnificent "miniature train circuits" which can be visited nearby), open the doors of a charming authentic traditional longère (farmhouse) dating from the 19th century, fully restored, nestled in the quiet on the edge of meadows, within a peaceful little residential village in the gentle peri-urban Chalonnaise countryside, next to the commercial town of Saint-Marcel (equipped with many amenities including supermarkets). Complete tranquility between town and country, nestled in the heart of the Saône Valley, a soothing, unspoiled haven blending viticulture, agriculture, and the great outdoors, just steps from fields and a vast national forest dotted with ponds, the literal "green lung" of the region, adjacent to a vast expanse of wild woodland surrounding Chalon-sur-Saône (perfect for leisurely walks or mountain biking), and very close to the banks of the Saône (a paradise for anglers and kayakers, a natural area largely protected as a Natura 2000 site and ZNIEFF for its rich flora and fauna). Spacious and comfortable cottage. Warm, rustic charm with a vintage feel. The gentle and relaxing atmosphere of a former residence. Large gravel terrace overlooking the courtyard (a veritable natural pétanque court) opens onto a vast, enclosed 800m² garden, landscaped with lawn, trees, and shrubs (cherry, mirabelle plum, apple, raspberry, and currant bushes… / pick your own), offering a beautiful, unobstructed view of the surrounding countryside.
