On the borders of three French departments (Seine & Marne, Marne and Aisne), along the Champagne route, in one of those villages that benefit from the “appellation d’origin contrôlée” for producing the “beverage of kings”. On a hill, this former weak defensive bastion of a penniless peasantry has witnessed numerous conflicts from the Roman era through to the battle of the Marne.
In the village, looking down on vineyards and grasslands, a large luxurious home complete with horse farm and almost 10 acres of meadows and vines.

Situated 32 miles from Toulouse (TGV train, airport, motorways, etc.) and close to a town of art and history with 60,000 inhabitants (TGV train station, motorways, etc), this residence and its estate dominate a rural environment containing several villages characteristic of the south west of France.

In Mâcon, prefecture of the French department of Saône & Loire and capital of South Burgundy. The sector has long been a rallying point and a strategic site, halfway between Paris and the French Riviera or, more widely speaking, between the North and South of Europe. Equidistant from Mâcon, Geneva and Lyon are each just a stone’s throw away. Two motorways converge near the town: the A6 “sun motorway” is the busiest in France, and the A40 “white motorway” takes all of Northern Europe skiing. Another modern means of communication, the French TGV train, links Paris and Geneva in 90 minutes. The A6 and A40 motorways are 2 minutes away; the TGV train station is less than 10 minutes away.
In a residential hamlet on the banks of the Saône.
15 minutes from the airport, 10 minutes from 2 golf courses.
5 minutes from all amenities, schools and sixth form colleges.

Capital of the Anjou region, Angers has good motorway links providing easy access to and from Paris, Nantes and Rennes; the French TGV train makes it possible to reach the capital in 90 minutes. Return flights to Southampton are currently possible three times a week from its airport.
Practical aspects aside, Angers is renowned for the richness of its architectural heritage: throughout the ages famous architects have contributed to the construction of public and private buildings.
A tourist town on the route to the Loire chateaux, classified a World Heritage Site by UNESCO and situated in the heart of the Loire valley, Angers is also a young town with 30,000 students

75 minutes from Cahors, Brive and Auriac with their train stations or airports; 19 or so miles from the magnificent, medieval city of Figeac and less than 15 minutes from all amenities in the town of St Céré, dominated by the St Laurent towers, vestiges of its old castle. A region situated on the borders of the French departments of the Lot and the Auvergne. The countryside is unspoilt and the surroundings healthy. Undulating countryside alternates grasslands and woods, criss-crossed with many fish-filled streams.
An ideal starting point for the “circuit des Merveilles” (route of wonders): Rocamadour, Padirac, Montal, Autoir, Lacapelle Marival, Bretenoux, Lacave, etc.
The property is on the boundary of a small isolated village with just a few shops and craftsmen.
