La Chalentine

For more than 20 years, Sébastien has been renovating this old Jura farmhouse, respecting its architecture and materials as far as possible. This comfortable, well-equipped house is a superb blend of traditional skills, preservation of traditional buildings, modernity and eco-responsibility.

The combination of stone, wood and the use of different lime renderings (whitewash, tadelakt and 'a fresco' renderings) give this cosy nest a warm ambience. Every room has been designed with great attention to detail. In the living room, for example, you'll notice the old farmhouse wall cupboard. And don't forget the old stonework from the stables, which has been preserved as a decorative feature...

Even the thermal insulation is made from bio-sourced materials (hemp-lime, wood wool, cellulose wadding), the underfloor heating offers gentle, pleasant warmth provided by a wood pellet boiler, and the electricity is 100% renewable and cooperative.

Located just a stone's throw from the Château du Chevreaux, with free access, you can enjoy the superb sunsets over the Bresse plain for which this historic site is famous! Ideal for family holidays, children can also play the knights of Chevreaux!

There are many walks, mountain bike rides and trail rides available from the gîte, as well as long-distance hiking routes such as the GR59 and the Via Cluny... ! Head for La Chalentine, the small mountain opposite the gîte!

Accommodation Gîte de France, 3 épis. Meublé tourisme 3*.
