Charming 18th Century House with Pool in the Heart of France

Le Nid is a large 18th century country house is situated in a small hamlet only 7 km west of Cluny in Southern Burgundy, an area rich in natural beauty, culture and gastronomy. Less than half an hour from Macon and the major artery (A6) called the Route du Soleil connecting Northern France with the South, Le Nid is ideally located for stopovers or lengthier stays. Rolling hills and hedgerows interspersed by old stone farmhouses and herds of the famous but alas for them, delicious Charolais cows, have inspired many to declare this unspoilt area of France between the rivers Saone and Loire the equal of Tuscany.

Four comfortable apartments of varying sizes are contained within Le Nid's stone walls, three of which in the main house, and the fourth in the stables wing.

Two additional rooms can be rented either with the apartments or as B&B accommodation.

The size, location and level of comfort make Le Nid ideal for friends vacationing together, family reunions, or groups pursuing a particular interest, whether it be painting, hiking, birdwatching or winetasting, the possibilities are legio. An artisit's studio on the premises can be made available for indoor work by arrangement.
