Passionate about travel, Jérémy & Laurie-Anne open the doors of a small contemporary "chalet-cottage" (former garage which "for the record" was completely dismantled several kms away, rebuilt on site & revisited as a sweet vacation) leaning against a "balcony" on the slope, in the hollow of an enclosed property of 2200m². In a quiet, peaceful residential area adjoining a playground (tennis, connected fitness area, city stadium, basketball court, children's games ...), a stone's throw from the first vineyards & shops. Nestled on the banks of the Saône (protected as a "Natura 2000 Zone" for its rich flora and fauna ecosystems, particularly ornithological), with all the amenities (large shopping area located away) and numerous sports and leisure facilities (including a renowned lake / Port d'Arcia leisure center with supervised swimming), Crêches-sur-Saône benefits from a magnificent hilly landscaped setting, combining vineyards and vast preserved wild forest massifs offering sublime panoramic viewpoints over the Val de Saône, the Alps and up to Mont-Blanc on a clear day! Comfortable gîte. Good volume. Atypical architecture worthy of a "mini loft". Warm wooded character with contemporary accents. Cozy and cozy atmosphere.
