Les Hirondelles

Dominique and Pascal open the doors of a charming authentic farmhouse built in 1899 and completely renovated - adorned with a traditional "galerie mâconnaise" - nestled at the end of a cul-de-sac in the heart of the meadows, on the edge of a small pasture with sheepa panoramic belvedere on the hillside above a picturesque, perfectly preserved village ("with a wine-growing past") nestling on a south-facing hillside, in the heart of the rolling Cluny countryside (protected as a "Natura 2000 Zone" & ZNIEFF for its wealth of flora & fauna). Dominated by a splendid 13th-century belfry-dungeon perched on a rocky promontory offering a unique 360° panorama of the surrounding countryside (exceptional vestige of a medieval fortress, historic stronghold of Louis le Bègue, son of King Charles-le-Chauve), the town enjoys a literal rural setting that has been preserved for centuriesit's nestled in a bucolic cirque of rolling bocages, beneath the wooded ridges of the vast Trois Monts national forest (which can be explored on relaxing walks or mountain bike rides), a magnificent landscape of rolling hills carpeted with hedged meadows, vineyard slopes & beautiful wild forests. Comfortable, dollhouse-style gîte. Beautiful "cathedral" volume in the living room. Bedroom nestled under the roof in "cocoon hut" mode. Cosy country charm enhanced by careful restoration (conservation of stone walls & lintels, imposing fireplace mantel, beams and old wooden lintels) and the wooded mountain atmosphere. Lots of charm and character. Cosy & cozy. Appreciable sheltered panoramic balcony-terrace. Pleasant enclosed garden with flowers, plants and trees, including a ping-pong table & a naturally shaded outdoor relaxation area under a tree, nestled on a property with a henhouse and rooster (the privilege of fresh eggs during the summer months)
