Belgian by origin, Burgundians at heart & by adoption, Elsje and Christophe welcome you to a charming caravan nestled in the calm "in the heart of nature", on the edge of the forest (a rare privilege to be able to observe the wildlife on site), overlooking a bucolic valley of meadows on the hillside from a "panoramic viewpoint" (on an "east" slope pleasantly shaded at the end of the day in the middle of summer) within a "dispersed" rural hamlet. Absolute tranquility in the heart of the unspoiled countryside of gentle mountains, on the edge of the Beaujolais and Brionnais hills (a protected area designated as a ZNIEFF for its rich fauna and flora), at the foot of the Dun mountain, steeped in legends and mysteries (home to a 12th-century Romanesque chapel at 708m and boasting a magnificent panoramic view of up to 35 church steeples on a clear day!), not far from the Mussy-sous-Dun viaduct (an iconic 19th-century railway engineering marvel). A sublime landscaped setting and a true haven of peace. A pleasant panoramic balcony-terrace adjoins a carefully landscaped and flower-filled artificial garden, complete with a Nordic bath. Access to the property's heated swimming pool (9x4m), nestled just steps away in a walled garden (with shower and terrace). A warm and bright gypsy caravan offering excellent comfort. Enveloping, rustic mountain charm with a cozy, cabin-like feel. Ultra cozy. Full of charm. Composition: Completely independent gypsy caravan next to the owners' house on a property with two other gîtes. Wi-Fi (fiber optic). Free laundry service. Heat pump heating. Air conditioning.

This comfortable caravan, tucked away on the edge of the forest, features a private Nordic bath (for a fee) and overlooks a verdant valley of meadows from its hillside panoramic vantage point. The property boasts a lovely 9x4m heated swimming pool (shared with other tourist accommodations). Located 7.5 km from the typical market town of Chauffailles (with numerous amenities including supermarkets) and 11 km from La Clayette, a charming town nestled like an amphitheater on the banks of a 30-hectare lake, bordered by a majestic medieval castle (dating from 1380), a true jewel of Burgundy's heritage! Absolute tranquility in the heart of the preserved countryside (in the heart of a protected area in ZNIEFF for its rich ecosystems), nestled on the wooded foothills of the Haut Beaujolais mountains at the foot of the Montagne de Dun (remarkable viewpoint at the top of its 708m), sublime landscaped setting of gentle mountains combining hedged meadows & deep wild forests, neighboring the "Verts Vallons" of South Burgundy & the "Little Switzerland of the Mâconnais" (territory protected in "Natura 2000 Zone"), not far from Mont Saint-Cyr (highest point of southern Burgundy with 771m). On the routes of many marked footpaths including PR & "green walks" (a vast network to discover), not far from the Romanesque churches circuit, 3 km from a marked mountain bike route (many other paths of the same type to explore on the massif), 10 km from the GR7, 11 km from the "Cycloroute71" (tour of Saône-et-Loire by bike), 21 km from a marked mountain bike route labeled "VTT-FFC" (attached to a vast network of similar routes crisscrossing the Brionnais), 23 km from a marked cycle route connected to the "Véloire" Green Way (along the Loire, the last wild river in Europe), about thirty km from the first vineyards of Beaujolais (first vineyard in the world recognized as a "UNESCO Global Geopark") & about forty km from the Côtes Mâconnaises ("Burgundy Wine Route"). At the southern tip of Burgundy, on the borders of the magnificent territory of Charolais-Brionnais (labeled "Pays d'Art et d'Histoire" / cradle of the AOC of the world-renowned cattle breed), at the crossroads of Mâconnais-Clunisois, northern Beaujolais, on the border of the departments of Rhône & Loire, not far from Sologne & Montagne Bourbonnaise as well as the Pays Roannais. Ideally located for exploring the region: 15 km from Matour (a designated "Green Holiday Resort"), 23 km from the charming town of Charlieu, 23 km from Saint-Christophe-en-Brionnais and its iconic weekly livestock market dating back to the late 15th century (one of the oldest in France), 28 km from Beaujeu (the historic capital of Beaujolais), 30 km from Charolles, 30 km from Semur-en-Brionnais, a member of the prestigious "Most Beautiful Villages of France" association, 35 km from Marcigny, 37 km from Paray-le-Monial, 43 km from the renowned abbey town of Cluny, 43 km from Roanne, 45 km from the stunning landscape of the Roches de Solutré & Vergisson, a designated "Grand Site de France", 53 km from Mâcon (Mâcon Loché TGV station 52 km away) and 53 km from Villefranche sur Saône.
