Discover Le ColombageYour Naturist Hideaway
If the question is 'Where can I find a naturist gite for just two people?', then 'Le Colombage' in rural eastern France will provide the answer.The gites, owned by Jeremy and Kim Smyth, are situated in the Saone et Loire department of Burgundy at the edge of a small hamlet adjacent to an ancient oak forest with the nearest village of St-Martin-en-Bresse just 3 km away.
Le Colombage is a traditional Bressanne farmhouse converted into a family home and two self-contained gites set in a small hamlet in the heart of the Burgundy countryside. The private grounds with swimming pool and patio are mainly lawned with many sunny and shady spots. Guests also have access to the main house with its indoor heated swimming pool, sauna, small fitness room and guest lounges with TV, DVD, complementary internet access, tea and coffee bar and small library. It is also possible to enjoy a menu of massage and aromatherapy treatments for the ultimate in pampering!
The accommodation comprises a choice of two gites each of which contains open-plan lounge/kitchen/dining area, twin bedded bedroom and en suite modern bathroom. Each gite has its own patio area. While the interior specification provides all modern comforts, the renovation has maintained the rural character of each gite. All linen and bath towels are provided and you are just asked to bring your own swimming/sauna towels.
The main house and grounds cover an area of almost 2 acres which offer a private, naturist environment. A further 6 acres of land comprising of meadow and woodland adjoins surrounding farmland giving the property its decidedly quiet, rural feel. The facilities and grounds are shared with the owners and other guests but with plenty of space for seclusion and privacy. Sun loungers, deck chairs and so forth are placed around the gardens to offer sunny or shady areas to laze the day away!
The outdoor pool is heated to a constant 28 degrees and has an attractive patio area for sunbathing or al fresco dining. The pool and patio are lit for evening swims. The indoor pool is kept a little warmer at 31 degrees and is adjacent to the sauna room. Relax in the sauna, jump into the pool and then back into the sauna – heavenly!! At night guests really appreciate a candle-lit swim in the indoor pool.
Within easy reach of Le Colombage are Chalon-Sur-Soane (20km), Beaune (30km) and Dijon (50 km). The major Burgundy vineyards can be reached in 30 minutes – a tour of the wine route being a highly recommended way of experiencing the beautiful Burgundian countryside while testing its most famous product. Burgundy is regarded as the gastronomic centre of France; Jeremy and Kim can recommend good restaurants ranging from hearty family restaurants to the famous ‘Lameloise’ Michelin 3 rosette restaurant near Chalon. To the East lies Switzerland reached by a 2 hour scenic drive through the Jura mountains and to the west the Morvan National Park, an area of outstanding natural beauty.
