La Malatière

An authentic and elegant late 19th-century Bresse-style "bourgeois" residence, steeped in history and meticulously restored, nestled peacefully on the edge of pastures (home to Charolais cows seasonally) and the village's verdant heritage orchard, on the outskirts of a picturesque little village with its idyllic fishing pond (free access for guests). Peace and tranquility a stone's throw from a renowned, supervised "natural" swimming area, equipped with a leisure center ("Espace Robelin" with a refreshment stand, snack bar, and various recreational activities including a multi-sports court). In the heart of the unspoiled Bresse countryside, a blend of agriculture and unspoiled nature (classified as a ZNIEFF for its rich fauna and flora), nestled in the bucolic lower Doubs valley (protected in various Natura 2000 zones for its rare ecosystems), a gentle, bocage plain dotted with ponds, rivers, and beautiful wild forests, not far from the foothills of the Jura Mountains.
