Located in Saint-Cyr-sur-Menthon (Ain), in an authentic Bresse property steeped in history, discover Le Nid de la Poipe, a warm and comfortable gîte, ideal for your stay as a couple, with family or friends. Adjoining the owners' home, the gîte has been completely renovated to provide you with a peaceful and pleasant stay, in a well-kept décor combining tradition and modernity; you'll feel right at home here. The gîte is arranged over 2 floors and can comfortably accommodate up to 6 people. On the ground floor, there is an open-plan living area with a kitchen and large dining table, as well as a cosy sitting area. There is also a spacious bedroom with a 140x190cm bed, a large wardrobe and a study area. The shower room and toilet are also on the ground floor. Upstairs, you'll find a magnificent bedroom converted from a former pigeon house over 200 years old; the natural Burgundy stone floor and original exposed oak roof frame will take you back in time. This spacious 38m² room has a king-size bed (180x200cm), a wardrobe, a 90x190cm bed and a study area. At the entrance to the gîte, you'll find a private area where you can enjoy your meals outside; you'll also have access to the park, where you can enjoy deckchairs in the shade of hundred-year-old trees. Beds are made on arrival and towels are provided. A wifi connection is also included. Pets are welcome (provided you follow their owners on a walk!) and you have a parking space in the owners' private courtyard. Located 25 minutes from Bourg-En-Bresse and 20 minutes from Mâcon, the southern gateway to Burgundy, Le Nid de la Poipe is an ideal base for walks and excursions, whatever your tastes or interests: there's something for everyone! If you're curious about the area's heritage, take a look at the motte castrale, the 'poipe' of St Cyr-sur-Menthon, just a stone's throw from the gîte. Then explore the Domaine des Saveurs / Les Planons (2 km away), a museum of Bresse traditions which promotes the art of "good eating" (long live the internationally-renowned Bresse poultry!) and local know-how, in particular with the estate's farm, listed as a historic monument. Travel back in time and discover the Abbey of Cluny (37 km away), home to the largest medieval monastic order in the West, and take the Saône et Loire châteaux route to come across some truly magnificent buildings. For foodies and gourmets, visit the "Village Blanc" in Vonnas (8.5 km) and indulge in the brasserie or restaurant of its famous Michelin-starred chef, who will be sure to come and say hello. This is also the perfect opportunity to wander through the vineyards of the Mâconnais and taste some Burgundy wines, including the famous Pouilly-Fuissé. And don't miss the Saturday morning market in Châtillon-sur-Chalaronne (21 km), classified as an "exceptional market" at national level, which will delight you with its atmosphere, local produce and cachet. For nature lovers, we recommend spending a day at the Villars-Les-Dombes Bird Park (36 km), which will delight young and old alike, or taking a bucolic cruise on the River Saône from Mâcon (12 km) or Pont-de-Vaux (20 km), or climbing the mythical Roche de Solutré (22 km), from the summit of which you can enjoy a magnificent panorama. Finally, for sports enthusiasts and lovers of outdoor activities, there's plenty to choose from within a 20 km radius: Golf de la Commanderie, Golf de la Bresse, a leisure centre with lake and swimming pool at Montrevel-en-Bresse and Cormoranche-sur-Saône, and green and blue paths for walking and cycling. The gîte has a wide selection of tourist information to help you organise your stay. Visit our website: [l'échange de vos coordonnées n'est pas autorisée]
