Christine & Bernard (former railway worker, owner of magnificent "miniature train circuits" which can be visited just a stone's throw away), open the doors of a lovely authentic traditional farmhouse dating from the 19th century, completely restored with care (former country farmhouse), nestled in peace on the edge of meadows & alleys, in the heart of a peaceful little residential village in the gentle peri-urban countryside of Chalon, neighboring the center of the shopping town of Saint-Marcel (with many amenities including supermarkets). Total tranquility between city & countryside, nestled in the hollow of the Val de Saône, a peaceful, preserved setting mixing viticulture, agriculture & open nature, a stone's throw from the fields & a vast national forest dotted with ponds, the literal "green lung" of the territory adjoining an immense group of wild forest areas surrounding Chalon-sur-Saône (to be explored during relaxing walks or mountain bike rides), very close to the banks of the Saône (paradise for fishermen and other kayakers, largely a natural area classified & protected in Natura 2000 & ZNIEFF Zone for its rich flora and fauna). Spacious, comfortable gîte. Warm country style with a vintage feel. Soft & exotic atmosphere of an old residence. Large gravel terrace "on the courtyard" (a real natural pétanque court) opening onto a vast enclosed garden of 800m², grassed, planted & planted with trees (cherry trees, plum trees, apple trees, raspberry trees, gooseberry bushes, etc. / picking possible), offering a beautiful open view on the surrounding countryside. Composition: Detached house housing the owners' garage (living opposite the gîte). Wifi (fiber). PAC heating.
