The holiday home with swimming pool is located in a small village (hameau) with about 15 houses. From the "Route du Soleil, the A6" you can drive on local roads (the so-called Routes Nationales) in about 45 minutes to "Le Champmartin". Not remote, but a lot of peace and quiet and little tourism. The village is part of the commune of "Lainsecq". Here you will find 2 restaurants "L'Escala" where you can have a delicious hot lunch and "La Guirtelle" an Asian fusion restaurant where you can dine and enjoy a good glass of wine. The owner of this restaurant also has a wine bar where you can taste and buy wine.
Our house has its own charging station so ideal for people with an electric car!
The basic necessities of life can be found 4 km away in Thury, where you will find a convenience store, a butcher and a pharmacy. A larger town 10km away is Saint Sauveur. Here you will find supermarkets, banks (ATMs), pharmacy, doctor and various local shops including a delicious bakery! Toucy (20 minutes drive) has a cozy and large morning market on Saturday morning. Local farmers and breeders offer their fruit and vegetables here, as well as rabbits, chickens and pigeons.
Another restaurant that is well worth a visit is "Le Moulin" in the town of Mezilles. About a 20-minute drive from our house.
Major cities in the immediate vicinity are Auxerre (50 km), Clamecy (25 km), Chablis and Sancerre.
