François, a passionate collector of old "SIMCA Aronde" (the legendary French family sedan that inspired the name of the gîte, several examples of which you can discover stored on site) & Laure welcome you to a charming authentic traditional farmhouse with centuries-old character dating from the 18th century (built in 1741), steeped in history & restored according to the rules of art, nestled on a former family agricultural estate. A peaceful setting, nestled on the edge of a lane in the heart of a tranquil residential village in the peri-urban countryside of Chalon-sur-Saône, a bucolic haven where viticulture, agriculture, and nature intertwine, between fields and wooded meadows, rivers and vineyards (protected as a ZNIEFF for its rich flora and fauna), bordering the vast Gergy state forest dotted with ponds, an immense "green lung" of the region, adjacent to a network of wild woodlands encircling Chalon-sur-Saône (perfect for relaxing 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). The cottage offers excellent comfort. Its warm, rustic charm with contemporary touches is enhanced by a beautiful heritage restoration (preserving the elegant half-timbered brick walls, timber framing, and original beams). Full of charm and character. Cozy and inviting. Pleasant, private little garden with no overlooking neighbors, featuring a slide and sandbox.
