Hébergement
There is a two bedroom, en-suite gite next door that you can use. It has a fully equipped kitchen and a comfortable salon and you will have use of the pool. We ran it as a very successful gite until this year. We can all eat together for midday lunch which we will provide, outside when the weather permits. Breakfast and the evening meal is usually something light but you can cook your own in the gite, we can provide some provisions. Depending on the season we can also offer garden produce and eggs.
Autres infos...
The nearby towns of Cluny, Charolles and Macon each have their own historic interests, chateaux, museums and local markets. Please note we are in a rural location and you will need your own transport. There is safe off street parking in our courtyard outside the gite.
We have a no smoking policy in the accommodation and the grounds.
We do not allow animals to stay.
