Romantic French Railway Cottage

You have a beautiful unobstructed view over the Morvan. The road past the house leads you directly to the most beautiful walking and cycling routes. Moreover, there are several lakes in the area where you can enjoy swimming and recreation. There are several lakes nearby; Le Lac de Chamboux (water in this lake is the drinking water supply for the railway house), Le Lac St. Agnan and the larger Le Lac des Settons. The latter is more than a 20-minute drive away in a beautiful wooded area. Here you can swim, picnic and relax. The nearest larger town is Saulieu where all amenities are available including a few supermarkets and several (very good) restaurants. In Saulieu you will find the basilica St. Andoche and the Francois Pompon museum. On Saturday morning there is the local market with the most delicious regional products as you can only find in France. Autun is a historical place about 30 kilometers from the house. Here you can do all your daily shopping etc. Every Friday morning there is a nice market in the center of the town. Dominant in Autun is the imposing cathedral St. Lazare. The adjacent Musée Rolin relives the history of Autun. The Basilica Sainte-Marie-Madeleine in the old town of Vézelay has been on the UNESCO World Heritage List since 1979 and should not be missed in one of your outings. From here you have a view of the Château de Bazoches from the 12th century with its beautiful garden. A visit to this castle can easily be combined with Vézelay. In the cottage there is a folder with many brochures, travel guides and tourist information about the area. There is also a very detailed hiking map of the immediate area so that you cannot get lost in the beautiful nature.
