L'Etape de la Croisée

Former collaborators of starred restaurants, owners of a renowned local restaurant (l'Étape Charollaise adjoining the gîte), Philippe & Stéphanie welcome you to a beautiful 19th century Burgundian residence of character carefully restored & steeped in history (old country inn revisited). In a mini rural hamlet located in the hilly countryside, on the edge of the bocage (with the famous Charolais cows as neighbors), in the hollow of the gentle Guye valley & its fish-rich river (popular with fishermen), 2 km of the small typical village of Saint-Martin-la-Patrouille (home to two 19th century Tuileries listed as "Historic Monuments" & a listed Romanesque chapel from the 11th century), very close to a "promontory" offering an exceptional panorama of the Clunisois, the Monts du Beaujolais & up to Mont-Blanc on a clear day. Spacious gîte with very good comfort. Neat contemporary style with Nordic inspirations. Zen & cozy atmosphere. Very charming. Large exposed & shaded gravel terrace. Pleasant enclosed shared garden offering a slide swing & a sheltered games room (ping-pong, table football, boxing punching bag & multiple games for children), supplemented by a large playground with pétanque court, trampoline & a rare real mini football field with its cages!
