Le Pigeonnier
Le Pigeonner enjoys a leafy setting in the lower Doubs valley, 40km from Chalon-sur-Saône, Dole and Beaune.
A very elegant and characterful late 19th-century bourgeois residence, meticulously restored, nestled within a residential rural hamlet on the edge of a typical small village. Peace and tranquility reign in a magnificent, unspoiled natural setting, bordering gentle meadows where peaceful Charolais and Limousin cows graze in season, and a branch of the Doubs River (a paradise for kayakers and anglers, renowned for its catfish, zander, and carp, boasting natural beaches and a remarkable protected ecosystem within a Natura 2000 zone, home to an exceptional ornithological reserve with 160 species of birds and very rare plant varieties). A true haven of peace offering the rare opportunity to observe wildlife (including numerous birds) as well as a beautiful, unobstructed view of the surrounding countryside. A spacious and very comfortable gîte. A warm, rustic charm blending tradition and modernity in a cozy and inviting atmosphere. Full of character. A large, sunny terrace, shaded by a centuries-old sycamore tree (complemented by a second panoramic terrace with an outdoor relaxation area), opens onto a pleasant, secluded, and meticulously maintained 2500m² lawned garden, complete with a beautiful swimming pool, a natural pétanque court in the courtyard, a ping-pong table, and a children's play area.
