Just 15mins away by car is a filtered swimming lake with man-made beach, picnic tables, toilets and showers.

Location
The Location
• Well positioned close to 4 main airports (Dijon 1hr, Lyon 1hr 15mins, Geneva and Grenoble 2hrs) and 6 hours drive from Calais, the Mill is set between the mountains, lakes and waterfalls of the stunning Jura region on the one side and one of the powerhouses of French winemaking, Burgundy’s Côte D’Or, on the other. The nearby village of Montpont En Bresse (2mins by car) supplies basic provisions such as bakery, butcher, pharmacy, bar and bank whilst slightly further a field is Louhans (10mins) with its 157 boutiques housed in 15th century buildings and famous agricultural market or the hypermarkets of Chalon-Sur-Saône (40mins).

Wine
• Burgundy’s wine region, arguably one of the most influential in the world, stretches south from Dijon towards Lyon taking in the many wine making villages of the Côte D’Or, Côte Chalonnaise, Côte Maconnaise and Beaujolais wines. All the villages, as well as many of the chateaux’s themselves, are easily accessible by car or by local expert led wine tours. For wine lovers a trip to Burgundy would not be the same without a visit to Chablis, Meursault, Vosne-Romanée, Corton or the Montrachet villages.

Food
• Matching the Bourgogne passion for wines is its passion for gastronomy. Within 40kms of the Mill you’ll find seven Michelin starred restaurants and countless local restaurants all serving their interpretations of the local Poulet de Bresse, Charolais beef or Mont D’Or cheese as well as the ubiquitous Coq au Vin and Boeuf Bourguignon.

Activities
• Lyon, Dijon, Chalon-Sur-Saône, Autun, Cluny and Beaune are all steeped in history and local architecture and make for interesting visits as does Tournus, a prestigious Romanesque city set on the Saône river which has one of the most visited sights in Burgundy, the 11th and 12th century Saint Philibert Abbey.
• For the more energetic there are the Jura Mountains which provide a beautiful setting for walking, hiking, mountain biking, horse riding, cross country skiing, climbing, fishing, swimming and sailing.
• Cycling & rollerblading is possible along the 100kms of dedicated greenways, named Voies Vertes, made from either canal towpaths or former railway lines. Bike and rollerblade hire is readily available in the area or on the Voies Vertes themselves.
• Golf – 6 golf courses around the region with multi course passes available.
• The area also caters for children with the Acro’Bath and Acro’Parc both forest based adventure parks and the Touroparc, a safari and wildlife park.

Changeover Details
• Prices based on a weeks rental of the whole property from Saturday to Saturday.
• Price includes all electricity, gas, water, luxury linen and bath towels.
• Discounts available for bookings of multiple weeks.
