Le Domaine - AUTUN - Gîte

Passionate amateur golfers, Virginie & Jean-Marc open the doors of an authentic 19th century town house, fully restored with care, nestled in a quiet area on the edge of a small, quiet alley (one-way), in the heart of a peaceful residential area of the historic center, a stone's throw from the sumptuous Saint-Lazare cathedral built in the 12th century which dominates the city (a major work of "Cluniac art", in the Gothic-Roman style), as well as from all the shops & services. Equipped with a wealth of sports and leisure facilities, including the nearby Vallon lake (100 ha of "nature sports" with a water sports centre) and a bucolic golf course, backed by the vast wild forest of Planoise (a real "green lung" of the southern foothills of the Morvan massif, to explore during relaxing walks or mountain bike rides), in the heart of a preserved rural and natural setting of great beauty, this doubly thousand-year-old city, labelled "City of Art and History", has a literally exceptional heritage (Gallo-Roman, medieval and classical).
