Guest comments
Alexis Palfreyman, London: "Beautiful cosy cottage in the heart of the Morvan Forest
This charming cottage set in the quiet village of Le Grande Verriere is the perfect getaway destination. As it’s located inside national forest, nature is literally on its doorstep. It is an idyllic setting for those who love the outdoors and want to explore Burgundy’s countryside on country walks, cycle rides or even just sitting taking in the backyard views over a glass of wine or meal with friends. And of course not to forget wine lovers everywhere – the Cottage is in the heart of some of the finest wine country in the world with the opportunity to visit numerous vineyards for tours, wine tasting and more only minutes away.
For those who have taken in the city lights of Paris or extravagance of the Riviera and find it’s time for a peaceful country retreat into the real France, this is it!"

About the owner
We fell in love with Burgundy during our travels through France in the 1990's, we have a special appreciation for the rich Celtic, Roman, and medieval history of the area. The wonderful bistros, restaurants, markets, and vineyards in this area fulfill our love of gourmet food and wine. Originally coming from a farm family, we particularly love the beauty of the Morvan Forest, the green pastures, and white Charolais cattle. Also, Burgundy reminds us of the slow, gracious pace of life in tune with country living, a feeling so much lost in the rat race of City life and unending work. Burgundy is the ultimate vacation area.
Year purchased: 2005
Why the owner chose a home in this location
The whole country of France is wonderful. But, like the Three Bears of the fairy tale, we found the Dordogne too hot, Provence too crowded and Burgundy just right. We immediately loved the village, a charming, historical location which offered the quiet of the country and proximity to a city with full amenities, Autun, a non-touristic, authentically French city. The location is a 15 mile drive from the A-6 exit. The house is a charming cottage within a short walk of the Mairie, the Tabac and the Boulangerie, not to mention the picturesque Medieval village church with its bell tower. The cottage has a lovely back yard which looks up at the mountains of the Morvan Forest, perfect for evenings of Kir, appetizers and chats with friends.
Unique benefits of the property
Easily accessible from A6, N7, and N 81, the property is perfectly situated for day trips of less than an hour to many sites of interest. We love to drive to the wine vineyards near Beaune, the wine capital of Burgundy, to take tasting tours. The Morvan Forest provides beautiful natural scenery and a wonderful museum of Celtic history. Roman ruins and a world-renowned medieval cathedral can be found in Autun, a fifteen minute drive. Many fascinating chateaus are nearby, including Sully, Brandon, Chateauneuf, and Rochepot. Every day of the week, a nearby town is hosting a market, with fresh meat, farm cheese, vegetables, and fruit, as well as souvenir items. Shops abound in the area, as well as local festivals, "vide grenier" (attic) sales, and local events.
