In a hilly landscape, on an idyllic location right next
to a lake with view on Mont St. Cyr (770m), in the
southern part of Bourgogne, you will find our
holiday home, L'Étang des Clefs. The landscape
offers a variation of woods, lakes, pastures, that
invites you to go hiking, biking, mountain-biking or
fishing. Picturesque villages, often with Romanesque
churches, castles and gentleman farms embellish
the sloping hills. In the pastures the white
Charolais-cows are calmly grazing. Rural life is a
perfect example of tranquillity and space, of carefree relaxation.
Nearby
Within less than one kilometre (a nice walk or bike-ride)
you will find the centre of the village of Gibles. Here are
some shops like the baker, the butcher, the chemist and
a post office. There is also a simple restaurant. There
are several attractions found in the area. At about 5 km
from the town lies La Clayette which is bigger, with
supermarkets and a lively marked on Tuesday morning. An
after half an hour of driving, you arrive in Cluny, Taizé or
in the vineyards of the Beaujolais and Mâconnais.

More information
Our holiday home is former railway guard house, built
around 1885. The train track has been out of use for a
long time. A sandy track now replaces the rails, but you
can still sense the atmosphere of ages gone by. The
house is located at the crossing of two unpaved roads,
one was formerly the railroad track, the other is a path
that was already used in the Middle Ages; this path runs
along the lake and an old watermill.
L' Etang des Clefs is the right choice for nature lovers,
but also for those who enjoy culture. In the area you can
visit castles, Romanesque churches and various museums.
Except for its hospitality the Bourgogne is known for its
elaborate cuisine. Here people still take time to enjoy
food and drink. Burgundies are bon vivants and gourmets.
Discover, taste and enjoy what is for sale on the local
market and in the ‘supermarché’. Cheese, fish, snails,
frog legs, ham and pâté: too much to mention. The meat
of the Charolais cow and the famous Bresse chicken even
has their own ‘appellation’.
Originally each railway guard house has the same lay out:
a kitchen, a living-room and 2 bedrooms upstairs. Usually
there is a basement underneath the house and each
house has its own well und vegetable garden. The toilet
used to be outside and consisted of no more than a few
planks above a hole in the ground.
Times change and our railway house has been subject to
some modernizations. The thick wall of about 50 cm
between the kitchen and living room has been removed,
creating a more spacious room with open-plan kitchen.
The kitchen is fully equipped with fridge freezer, 4-ring
gas cooker, oven, separate microwave, dishwasher,
coffee maker, water cooker and blender. The extension
houses a bathroom with douche cabin and separate toilet.
The cosy wood-burning stove, central to the living room,
provides warmth as the evenings get chillier.
Other features: Wi-Fi, TV, radio/CD-player, washing
machine, dryer, hairdryer, iron, children’s bed and high
chair, garden furniture and built-in barbecue.
Do you like a good glass of wine with a gourmet meal?
Gourmets can have culinary adventures in this regions
and lick their fingers. At antique markets you can enjoy
rambling through old stuff and in the summer many
villages organize their annual festivities.
La Clayette , Charolles
, Cluny , Taizé , the
wine towns Mâcon and
Beaune and Europe's
culinary capital of Lyon
are well worth a visit.
There are swimming
pools, fishing lakes,
hiking and biking trails
in the immediate vicinity. Along L' Etang des Clefs are
walking routes that you can start immediately from the
cottage.
In our house you will find a file with general and current
information on the Saône-et-Loire with activities and
news related in particular to the environment.
A range of restaurants, from simple to luxurious, offer
you a wide range of regional dishes.
Wine lovers can indulge in the wine regions
Maconnais, Beaujolais, Côte
Chalonnaise,
Côtes d'Or and the small and relatively unknown HautBrionnais. Wine can be tasted at various wineries. Take a
look on our website for further information.
