About this apartment rental

L'Ancienne Forge (FeWo-direkt. De 2046245) now has a sister: The little smithy - La Petite Forge!

In the extension of the old smithy, an independent apartment for two people was created in spring 2018.
An old wrought-iron grille surrounds the approx. 18 sqm south-west terrace and leads into a light-flooded living room. Linen fabrics filter the light and give a view of a great landscape from the four-meter-long canapé. Warm light sources and reading lamps invite you to idle hours.

The small open kitchen also offers the frequent cook a sufficient basis for tasty self-catering.
supply. Glasses and dishes are stowed on a wall shelf and provide the backdrop for the round cozy
Dining table with the old curved garden armchairs from a good house ...

A staircase leads to the upper part of the apartment, to the storage room and to a shower room with toilet and a separate vanity. An armchair with an adjustable backrest provides another reading / resting corner on the gallery.

A sun shade also protects the large terrace from raindrops. From up here you can enjoy wonderful sunsets and witness the leisurely village and country life ...

In the course of the year, the small garden in front will also get its shape. A gravel terrace from the nearby Saône is planned. Here you have the opportunity to have breakfast in the morning sun, surrounded by hydrangeas and oleanders ....

Our village Saint Didier sur Arroux, located on the southern foothills of the Morvan, is a good starting point for exploring the surrounding area. From your home you are in nature in just a few steps. If you arrive with bicycles, they can be parked in a garage 200 meters away. Endless hiking trails in the heights and vastness of the Morvan will challenge and inspire you.

For those interested in culture, a visit to the ancient Roman city of Autun (approx. 20 minutes) is a "must". A market is held there on Wednesdays and Fridays. The path up to the cathedral leads through medieval streets. Time seems to have stopped here.

From your terrace you have a view of Mont Beuvray, once the seat of the important ancient Celtic city "Bibracte". The museum and the excavations are worth seeing and exit for beautiful hikes (approx. 25 min.)

Nearby, in La Boulaye, is the "Temple des milles Buddhas", one of the largest active Buddhist temples in Europe (approx. 15 minutes).

If you stay a few days longer, there is a trip to Beaune (approx. 60 minutes) with its world-famous hospice Hotel Dieu. The route leads along the Route des Grands Crus through famous vineyards ....
To Cluny (approx. 90 min.) With the ruins of what was then the largest church in the West, possibly combined with a tour of the Brionnais with its Romanesque village churches.
Also to Veselez, UNESCO World Heritage Site (approx. 90 min.) A trip to the northern Morvan is worthwhile, possibly combined with a detour to Chablis ...

If you just want to laze around, you will find a swimming lake with shady spots in the neighboring town of Thil sur Arroux. There is also a restaurant on the church square.

St. Didier is absolutely picturesque and completely quiet. The apartment was perfect for a couple and we made two meals with the appliances available. The hostess is very kind and extremely helpful. We enjoyed Bourgogne more each day we spent there. Absolutely perfect!

The property is delightful. Perfect for two people. We may not stay in that one again though, maybe preferring the bigger one next door. Our reason is that the bed is not suitable for people of our age and infirmities and we found the staircase difficult for the same reasons. For younger people absolutely fantastic!

Very nice little house with everything we needed in a quiet and relaxing surrounding. Beautiful terrace overlooking the area from uphill. Ana had arranged already some basic supplies (oil, salt, pepper, tea, coffee, soap for doing dishes etc.) and was always available for questions. Thank you!

However with a road at two sides a very quiet place with a nice modern interior and terrace with full view over the valley. Not much to do in the neighbourhood, no shops in the village, but birds all around. A retreat for rest.

In this little house you have everything that you need! The owner, Ana, did a great job in using the space optimally! Inside you can see immediately that there has been taken great care in choosing the furniture and decoration! On the big balcony you can enjoy the beautiful views, and if you are as lucky as we were with the weather, lovely sunsets in the evening. Down by the lake you find a good restaurant. You can go there by foot in a 25 minutes walk. For groceries you can go to Etang sur Arroux. Nice places in the area are Autun (20 min.) and Beaune (1 h 15) In de village itself there is also a Brocante shop where you can also have a drink ( and a little snack) in the beautiful garden. During our stay there was also the opening of a new bar/ cafe. Soon they will also service a “ plat du jour” Resume.....if you are looking for a nice place to stay in the south Morvan “ La petite Forge” is a very good choice!!!

Owner was a great hostess and made sure we had everything we needed and then some. The house was in pristine shape, very cute, and has an incredible view off the porch! Everyone we met in the area was very friendly. Our hostess also had great suggestions on things to do in the area. We had a wonderful time touring the archaeological dig and museum at Bibracte and really enjoyed walking around both the Roman and modern part of Autun. Autun has some great places to eat and shop. There is also an incredible restaurant next to the lake and the house is less than an hour drive from some very good vineyards that we really enjoyed touring! We would definitely love to comeback someday!

This place is faboulous and Ana was marvelous with us. Arguably one of the most somptuous view on the South Morvan, Mont Beuvray and Haut Folin from the huge terrasse Very quiet and pleasant neighbours The interior respects the original building and is tastefully decorated. We would happily come back. Emmanuel and Christine
