Le Thiellet - SAINT USUGE

Stay in a former hotspot of Bresse nightlife! A "seventies" inspired traditional residence (dating from 1979) steeped in local history - an authentic "rare" former country discotheque that enjoyed its heyday in the past - very carefully revisited as a comfortable holiday home, nestled on a pleasant enclosed natural garden of 600m², bordering a small wooded pasture, in the heart of a small rural residential hamlet nestled 7 km from the charming typical & commercial town of Saint-Germain-du-Bois (numerous amenities including a supermarket) & 11 km from Louhans, the famous capital of Bresse, known for its iconic medieval shopping street with "157 arcades" (one of the most remarkable of its kind in France and Europe) as well as for its highly regarded "Monday market" labeled "Remarkable Site of Taste". In the heart of the gentle Bresse countryside near Louhans, a stone's throw from the banks of the Seille (a rare protected natural area in "Natura 2000 Zone" & ZNIEFF for its remarkable ecosystems), in the heart of a preserved rural & natural setting combining agriculture & the great outdoors, between vast bocage plains dotted with ponds & rivers, beautiful wild forests, not far from the mountain foothills of the Jura massif (traversed by the renowned GRP of the "Bresse Comtoise" attached to the GR59). A privileged location on the route of several marked footpaths in "balade verte" (a vast network of identical hiking trails to discover on the territory, on foot or mountain bike) & of the "Cycloroute71" (Tour of Saône-et-Loire by bike), not far from the Romanesque churches circuit, 11 km from the "Voie Bressane" Green Way (connected to the Voie Bleue along the Saône as well as to the Green Way of the Great Loop of Southern Burgundy), about thirty km from the first vineyards of the Jura, about forty km from the Côtes Mâconnaises, about fifty km from the Côtes Chalonnaises & about sixty km from the prestigious world-renowned vineyards of the Côtes de Beaune & Hautes Côtes de Beaune (various wine routes to explore including the "Route des Grands Vins" extended by the illustrious "Route des Grands Crus"). In the heart of the Bresse Bourguignonne - cradle of the famous AOC of Bresse poultry - at the crossroads of the departments of Ain & Jura, at the crossroads of Chalonnais, Bresse du Jura, Mâconnais, Tournugeois-Clunisois (labeled "Pays d'Art et d'Histoire") as well as Bresse de l'Ain. A prime location for exploring the region: 23 km from Pierre-de-Bresse, a designated "City of Character of Burgundy Franche-Comté", 30 km from Verdun-sur-Doubs (river marina nestled at the confluence of the Doubs and the Saône), 31 km from Lons-le-Saunier, 31 km from the medieval town of Romenay, 31 km from Cuisery, listed among the very exclusive 8 French "Book Villages", 32 km from Chalon-sur-Saône (designated "City of Art & History"), 38 km from the rare Truchère Nature Reserve (a remarkable protected ecosystem), 36 km from Seurre, 39 km from Tournus, 40 km from Chalon-sur-Saône (designated "City of Art & History") & 54 km from Beaune. An unusual "base" with "festive vibes of the past" (table football & poker table available on site!) for relaxing with a small tribe! An atypical 1970s house steeped in local and family history, a truly authentic former – and very rare – country discotheque that enjoyed its heyday in the 1980s (built in 1979 and later run by Laure's father), nestled on a small hill bordering a bucolic wooded pasture where the owners' peaceful sheep, "Chaussette" and "Blanquette," graze. Located in the heart of the verdant Bresse countryside, in a small residential hamlet just steps from the banks of the Seille River, this remarkable ecosystem is prized by anglers and nature lovers alike, protected as a Natura 2000 site and a ZNIEFF (Zone Naturelle d'Intérêt Écologique, Faunistique et Floristique – Natural Area of Ecological, Faunistic and Floristic Interest) for its rich flora and fauna (migratory bird sanctuary, rare plant species, numerous fish including the famous wels catfish, and other wildlife). Peaceful, unspoiled rolling countryside surrounds the property, combining gentle meadows dotted with ponds and rivers, and beautiful wild forests. This very comfortable cottage boasts an exceptional 100m² living area nestled in the space of the former dance floor and bar. It exudes a warm, rustic charm with contemporary touches, inspired by traditional Bresse buildings (carefully designed with authentic beams, stone, wooden lintels, and local stone fireplace mantels). Full of character, it offers a cozy and inviting atmosphere blending tradition and modernity. A private, partially sheltered terrace overlooks a pleasant enclosed natural garden (600m²) and the surrounding clearing. Composition: Detached house. Wi-Fi (fiber optic). Heat pump heating.
