Gîte / Cottage

Moulin Fouché - Le Pigeonnier


Welcome to Moulin Fouché, a beautiful holiday location directly on the lake l'Etang Fouché in the town of Arnay-le-Duc. This is located on the south side of the Côte d'Or department in the Bourgogne Franche-Comté region. Our gîte 'Le Pigeonnier' is divided as follows:

Main residence:
  • Private entrance, kitchen/diner, table with six chairs, electric heater, bathroom, bedroom 1 with one double bed, wardrobes and a safe.
  • The kitchen is fully equipped with pots and pans, crockery, cutlery, dishwasher, electric oven, gas hob, refrigerator, kettle and coffee makers (filter and Senseo).
  • The bathroom has a shower, toilet and sink with cupboard.
  • There is sufficient bed, bath and kitchen linen.
  • The walls of the kitchen/diner in the main residence are covered with beautiful nature posters.
  • Wifi is available in every room.
Secondary residence:
  • Separate entrance, cozy sitting area on the ground floor, television with DVD player, electric heater, stairs to the first floor, four stacked beds in the pigeon tower.
  • The pigeon tower has a separate entrance. From the sitting area a staircase leads to the sleeping area with four stacked beds.
  • If you let your children sleep in the pigeon tower, they can use the bathroom in the adjacent main residence, where you will probably sleep. That is a fun, but sometimes also exciting adventure. That is why we do not recommend choosing Le Pigeonnier if one or more of your children are younger than six years old. But of course you can best estimate that yourself!
Terraces and garden:
  • At the front of the main residence of 'Le Pigeonnier' is your partially covered private terrace, with a large table, garden chairs with cushions and of course a barbecue.
  • From your terrace you look out over the beautiful garden. You can enjoy the peace and quiet there, each other and the good life.
  • And if you walk up the stairs next to the holiday home, you will be directly on the lake, where you can take a lovely refreshing dip.
  • The terraces and adjacent garden are sheltered, but not fenced. There is a stream at the front of the plot.
Location

The Moulin Fouché holiday apartments are located in a lotissement without through traffic. Because the gites are located at the bottom of the dike, you only hear the sounds of walkers and swimmers. On the terraces and in our garden you are surrounded by greenery and it is nice to relax. If you walk up the path you will be directly at the picturesque lake l'Etang Fouché. You can enjoy walking there, lying on the beach, swimming, pedal boating, SUPing and fishing. Even though your gîte is located on the edge of Arnay-le-Duc, all the town's facilities are a short distance away. The bakery and supermarket are even within walking distance. In the center you will find several good restaurants, nice cafes and cozy terraces.

Environment

The Côte d'Or department and the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region have a lot to offer! The landscape is rolling and forms a patchwork of grain fields, meadows, vineyards and forests. In the spring the rapeseed blooms in the fields and in the summer you see sunflowers everywhere. There are many places of interest nearby. Dijon, Beaune, Autun and Saulieu not only have nice shops and cozy terraces, but also interesting museums. One of the most beautiful villages in France - Châteauneuf-en-Auxois - is a stone's throw from Arnay-le-Duc. There are dozens of impressive castles to visit in Burgundy. You will also find interesting museums, beautiful abbeys, old churches and large cathedrals. The best wines in the world come from Burgundy and the Côte d'Or. After half an hour's drive you are in the middle of the wine region.

Location & area recommendations

Additional information

Moulin Fouché is located directly on the picturesque l'Etang Fouché. The lake was created when a dike was built in the valley of the Arroux river around 1750. A water mill (grain mill) named Moulin Fouché was built on the dike. The municipality of Arnay-le-Duc has turned the lake into a beautiful recreational lake with a beach.

Swimming is allowed in a large part of the lake. Floats in the water indicate the different swimming areas. When there is a green flag in July and August, there is lifeguard supervision. There are two free water slides and a children's playground on the beach. On part of the lake you can go paddle boarding, pedal boating and sailing with small boats. There are several picnic benches next to the beach and there are several beautiful lawns around the lake.

A gently sloping walking, cycling and fitness path of two kilometers runs around the lake. You can get there in half an hour and along the way you will pass three bridges and all kinds of grooming equipment. It is a beautiful, peaceful and relaxing walk. There are 90 kilometers of hiking, cycling and mountain bike trails in the area.

There is a green and quiet Huttopia campsite next to the lake, where fun activities are organized and where (electric) bicycles can be rented. Everyone can eat in the campsite restaurant. Because Moulin Fouché is built against the dike - and is therefore more or less below water level - the sounds of the camping guests and the people in the water and on the beach often pass over you. This means you can enjoy your well-deserved rest and nature at your house.

If you like fishing, l'Etang Fouché is a good place for your hobby. The lake is an official fishing location. You can fish for carp, tench, pike, pike-perch and trout. A fishing license can be purchased at the nearby campsite.
Moulin Fouché is located on the edge of the historic town of Arnay-le-Duc. The place has about 1,400 inhabitants, who are called Arnétois. The surface area of Arnay-le-Duc is approximately 12 km².

The place has a regional function and has various facilities. There are three supermarkets (Aldi, Carefour and Bi1), two bakeries, two drugstores, a hardware store, a garden center, some nice shops, cozy terraces and restaurants in various price ranges. The Carefour and one of the bakeries are within walking distance (8 minutes).

The best, most beautiful and also most expensive restaurant in the town is Chez Camille, but you can also enjoy good food at Le Dauphiné, Le Château d'Arnay and Café du Nord. There are several other nice restaurants in the region.

The charging point for electric cars is within walking distance (10 minutes) of Moulin Fouché. There are two charging stations and you can pay with a normal debit card. If you would like to know more about charging your electric car, please feel free to contact us.

The Nocturnes Estivales festival takes place on Thursday evenings in July and August. The shops are open, there are stalls with nice things, there is live music and there is plenty of food and drink available.
The Côte d'Or department and the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region have a lot to offer! The landscape is rolling and forms a patchwork of grain fields, meadows, vineyards and forests. In the spring the rapeseed blooms in the fields and in the summer you see sunflowers everywhere.

Various walking, cycling and mountain bike routes have been set out around Arnay-le-Duc. Detailed walking and cycling maps can be purchased at the Office de Tourisme in Arnay-le-Duc. Or you download an app. Beautiful cycling routes run along the Canal de Bourgogne and straight through the wine area, from Dijon, via Beaune to Santenay. Arnay-le-Duc is located next to the Morvan nature reserve, where you can enjoy lovely walks.
There are many places of interest nearby. Dijon, Beaune, Autun and Saulieu not only have nice shops and cozy terraces, but also interesting museums. One of the most beautiful villages in France - Châteauneuf-en-Auxois - is a stone's throw from Arnay-le-Duc.
