Jean-Paul and Marie-Rose (a former local councilor and the true "memory of the place") welcome you to an authentic Bresse farmhouse with a completely unique architectural style (built in 1935), fully renovated and nestled in a semi-urban area (close to all amenities) in the heart of a residential hamlet, bordered by forests and gentle hedged meadows, adjoining the village center of Vincelles, a charming, typical little village nestled on the banks of the Seille (a bucolic, preserved natural river steeped in history, best explored during peaceful "cruises," such as by kayak or boat without a license; two marinas are accessible within a 5 km radius). This remarkable ecosystem, protected as a "Natura 2000" site, is appreciated by both anglers and nature lovers (a migratory bird sanctuary, rare plant species, numerous fish including the famous wels catfish, and a wealth of other animals and wildlife). Wild...). In the heart of the gentle, unspoiled Louhans countryside (largely protected as a ZNIEFF area for its rich fauna and flora), a soothing landscape combining agriculture and the great outdoors (to be explored on foot or by bike), between vast hedged plains of fields and meadows dotted with ponds and rivers and beautiful wild forests, nestled between Bresse and Revermont, not far from the foothills of the nearby Jura mountains. A comfortable cottage converted from the old stables. A warm, rustic charm with a unique "old-world feel," blending "rustic" and "vintage" elements with contemporary touches. A spacious and intimate garden, beautifully landscaped with flowers, lawn, and trees (flanked by numerous fruit trees: peaches, apple, fig, pear, cherry, and the very rare Brazilian guava trees! / fruit picking possible during your stay), furnished with comfortable garden furniture (naturally shaded under trees or in full sun, as you prefer).
