Newly renovated barn conversion nestled in open countryside
"La Grange Bressane" translated into English means The Bressan Barn (Bresse being the region it's in) which is what it started life as. It's a brick built, tiled roof barn renovation that sleeps 8, comprising:-
Upstairs - Two double bedrooms both en suite and a twin bedroom also en suite.
Downstairs - Large country kitchen with cooker, dishwasher, washing machine and everything else you would expect in a well equipped kitchen. Lovely open plan living room with double sofa bed and a dining room with patio doors that lead out onto the garden. We also have a fold up spare bed should you need it.
The garden is laid mainly to lawn with a useful covered paved area with charcoal barbeque, table and chairs and also a brick built housing for an electric plancha and small oven, both connected to a permanent electricity supply for your al fresco cooking and eating. The property has use of the outdoor pool - 7 metres x 4 metres, which is shared only with anyone who is staying in the Summer House (absolute maximum rental 8 people) our second property next door.
All bed linen, towels and beach towels are included in the price.
The property is situated 20 minutes from Beaune, the wine capital of France, 40 minutes from Dijon, world famous for its mustard, Dole, the birthplace of Louis Pasteur is just 30 minutes up the road, whilst Chalon sur Saone, a lovely town with a medieval square overlooked by the 11th century Cathedral St. Vincent and full of bijou boutiques, bars, restaurants and much more is 20 minutes up the road. Switzerland is just on the doorstep - Geneva being about an hour and a half away.
In Chalon sur Saone there is an olympic sized public swimming pool that has slides and a wave pool, also in town bowling, go-karting, golf and plenty of shops to keep the ladies occupied. Don't worry guys, there are plenty of bars to wait in!
About 10 minutes outside of Chalon you will find Lac de Laives,the nearest thing to a seaside you can get so far from the coast. It's great for a family day out and offers a restaurant/bar, snack bar, pedalos and canoeing. There is a small beach area with a roped off shallow area for young children. It is also life guarded. The lake is surrounded with large shady trees under which you can sit and enjoy your picnic or barbeque.
Closer to home, fishing is abundant with Verdun sur le Doubs, the nearest small town just 10 minutes away, being the confluence of 3 rivers. In Verdun you will find the usual bars, restaurants - mainly French of course but there is a small Italian restaurant, the PMU bar who serve burger and chips, croque monsieurs, and various salads, ideal for a quick snack. There is also a supermarket, filling station, bank and a public open air swimming pool which is spotlessly clean. There is even a vet, should you want to bring your pet with you.
The nearest village, Ciel, has a good quality old fashioned butchers shop, a boulangerie, hairdressers and a restaurant, La Marmite (cooking pot).
