Description of objectOur holiday cottage is situated in the highest part of the village Ecorsaint (Burgundy).It borders a wooded, rocky slope which explains its name “Sous les Roches”. The house dates back many centuries, but has been renovated over the last couple of years. Most of its authentic elements have been preserved. The house, garden and terrace offer a beautiful view over the valley. It’s an excellent place to enjoy nature and the tranquility that surrounds you. More so, it’s a fine place to start hiking through large scenic areas, or biking through the hilly landscape, picturesque villages and go sightseeing in the surroundings. For further questions about availability, terms and any other information, please contact us. www.burgundygite.com The house has a cozy living room with characteristic beams and bricks. If temperatures drop in the evening (or on colder days) the woodstove can be used. The living room is equipped with a CD player, a TV with DVD player (with a wide choice of movies) and a well stored bookcase. The well equipped kitchen is quite spacious and has a fridge/ freezer, stove(with oven), microwave and a baking machine if you like to bake your own bread. Besides a large kitchen table with chairs there is also a baby chair. The cottage has two large bedrooms of which one has a double bed and the other two single beds. In addition a child’s bed is available. If necessary the couch in the living room can be converted into a comfortable double bed. Furthermore a wall bed is present. So, the cottage offers accommodation for 2 up to 4 people (with the possibility of 1 or 2 children). The cottage has two bathrooms, both with a washbasin, toilet, shower and a bath tub. The spacious built-in garage not only provides space for the washing machine, but also for a table-tennis table. Here you can also find a BBQ, extra deck chairs to be used on the spacious terrace and two childrens’ bikes. The cottage has been fully insulated and besides the woodstove it also has a CH to make sure that it is confortable outside the summer season as well. Due to the lay out (and the availability of two bathrooms), the cottage is also very suitable for two couples (with the possibility of 1 or 2 children). Location of objectEcorsaint is a small quiet village situated in the hills of the Cote d’Or. Only a three hours’ drive from Paris.It’s situated on a hill side at a dead end road which guarantees peace and quiet, space and scenery. There’s no house to be seen that is less than a hundred years old. In fact, most houses were built many centuries ago. This is also the case with “Sous les Roches”. It is as though time has stood still for a long time here. Ecorsaint offers many opportunities to go for a stroll, a ride on a bike or go for a drive. At the rear side of the house you’ll find an area of approximately 100 square kilometers of unspoild scenery with beautiful panoramic views over the hills and valleys. Ecorsaint doesn’t have any shops. But there is a mobile shop that passes through the village several times a week. In Flavingy, which is only a 10 minutes’drive from Ecorsaint, you will find a small supermarket for your daily groceries. A little bit futher down, in Venarey-les-Laumes, you’ll find two bigger supermarkets and also other shops. Town: France, Auxois, EcorsaintBesides the many hiking possibilities( a detailed map is available in the cottage) it is also very nice to set off by (sport)bike (which can be rented in Venerey Les Laumes).Although the area is hilly, on the whole, biking is very well possible. The cycling paths through the nearby “Canal de Bourgogne” are worth visiting and are quite flat. There are also many opportunities for terrain bikers. There’s a ATB trail that goes through the village. In addition there are also several places to take a swim; the reservoir in Grosbois, the “Lac de Pont” nearby Semur- en-Auxois, the swimmingpool in Vitteaux or the pool in “Parc de l’Auxois” in Arnay-sous- Vitteaux. You will find tennis courts in e.g. Flavigny-sur-Ozerain, Venarey-les-Laumes and Montbard . There is also a riding school nearby were you can rent horses. In the vicinity there are also golfcourses to be found. For example in Precy-sous-Thil(9 holes) and the magnificent golf course (9 and 18 holes) “Chateau de Chailly”near Pouilly-en-Auxois (see web-links). Enthusiasts who like rock climbing can go to Hauteroche and Saffres. In the house there is a binder with a lot of information about the area.
