We are in the “Cote Chalonnaise” region producing Mercurey, Rully, Givry, and Montagny wines, very good quality at reasonable prices. The wine capital of Burgundy, Beaune is only a 25 minutes drive away, passing through beautiful villages, stopping to taste or just admire the well kept domaines and extensive vine-yards of the most famous Burgundy wines. We would be pleased to recommend local vignerons & restaurants. The choice of places to eat is vast in our gastronomic region, varying from a Michelin 3 star restaurant to good basic Burgundy food in local cafes.
Dracy le Fort makes an ideal base for visiting Dijon, Beaune, Cluny, Lyon, Macon, Beaujolais region, La Bresse, Jura mountains and Autun along with chateaux and Roman churches.
Our property was originally a quarry which makes a very unique natural style garden with caves & high trees creating a secluded garden .Our visitors enjoy the tranquility of the garden whilst admiring the red squirrels, the large variety of birds, listening to the crickets and generally relaxing.
The gite is attached to our house which is a property standing in it’s own grounds and garden. It is completely self-contained with it’s own entrance & ample space outside .Off road parking. Should you be more athletically inclined we have bicycles available to use the local countryside cycle tracks. The “Voie Verte” which is the old railway track from Givry to Cluny and the "Voie Bleu" which follows the Burgundy canal are pleasant if you follow the various circuits indicated off the tracks around the wine villages.
Local food markets are very good, Chalon market on Sunday morning is a must! Louhans on Monday! The nearest supermarket is 5 mins away.
We rent on a weekly basis from Saturday to Saturday.
