About this house rental
Alizée & Matthieu (Bresse poultry breeder & cereal farmer / farm located about ten kilometers away which can be visited in his company), welcome you to an authentic traditional Bresse farm from the end of the 19th century with "old-world charm", carefully revisited as a soothing holiday retreat, nestled in the heart of a peaceful little rural hamlet, both residential & agricultural (including a small family farm adjoining the gîte), a stone's throw from a bucolic pond. A magnificent, gently rolling landscape nestled in the heart of the unspoiled Bresse countryside (largely protected as a ZNIEFF area for its rich flora and fauna), combining beautiful wild forests, cultivated fields, and hedged meadows dotted with ponds and streams, not far from the banks of the Seille and Saône rivers, both protected as Natura 2000 sites for their remarkable ecosystems (major reserves for migratory birds, rare plant species, various fish such as zander, pike, roach, and the famous wels catfish, as well as numerous animals and rich wildlife). The cottage offers excellent comfort. Spacious and bright, it boasts a warm, "country chic" style with contemporary touches, enhanced by the utterly charming atmosphere of a former country house (with original brick walls and beams preserved). It exudes charm. A warm and inviting atmosphere, soft and cozy. A large shaded terrace under a reed screen opens onto a pleasant, spacious, enclosed 3000m² garden, landscaped with trees and flowers, and featuring a lovely pétanque court. Compsosition: Detached, single-story house. Wi-Fi (fiber optic). Heat pump heating + wood pellet stove. Air conditioning.
