Living on clouds in the great expanse of southern Morvan

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!

Beautiful views
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!

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.

Amazing!!
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!

Tolle Ferienwohnung!
Wir haben eine unvergessliche Woche in einer wunderbaren Ferienwohnung verlebt. Die Wohnung ist bestens ausgestattet und toll geschnitten, so hatten wir trotz der nur kleinen Größe das Gefühl von Großzügigkeit. Die Lage im kleinen Ort St.-Didier war für uns perfekt - sehr ruhig, aber trotzdem ein bisschen Leben um uns herum. Und das Beste: ein traumhafter Blick in die weite Landschaftl des Morvan, mit allabendlich einem spektakulären Sonnenuntergang! Herzlichen Dank nochmals an Frau Baulan, die stets für uns erreichbar war und uns tolle Ausflugs- und Essenstpps für die Umgebung geben konnte. Wir sind bestimmt bald wieder da!

gezellig huisje middenin een prachtige culturele omgeving
We hebben een heerlijke week gehad in dit huis. Ondanks het slechte weer hebben we kunnen genieten van de gezellige sfeer en warmte in het huis. In de omgeving hebben we gewandeld in het Uchon massief en vele romaanse kerken bezocht, zoals in Autun, Cluny, Paray le Monial, Saint Menoux, enz. Ook hebben we Hospices de Beaune bezocht en enkele kastelen. We hebben ons zeker niet verveeld! Alleen jammer dat we geen enkele keer op dat aantrekkelijke balkonnetje hebben kunnen zitten vanwege het weer. Ana, bedankt voor je gastvrijheid. Groet.

Meine Frau und ich haben eine Woche in dieser schönen Ferienwohnung verbracht. Alles was man braucht findet man dort. Da wir nur sehr wenig Französisch sprechen war es Gold wert, dass die Gastgeberin deutsch spricht. Wir haben viele tolle Ausflugtipps bekommen. Alles in allem war es ein wunderbarer Aufenthalt.

Tolle Lage, tolle Wohnung
Wir waren 10 Tage in der tollen und geräumigen Wohnung in der ehemaligen Schmiede von St -Didier -sur-Arroux untergebracht und haben uns sehr wohlgefühlt. Von der Terrasse aus hat man einen wunderbaren Blick auf den südlichen Morvan, direkt auf den Mont Beuvray. Im gleichen Haus ist noch eine andere Wohnung. Frau Baulan hat sich sehr liebevoll um uns gekümmert und uns auch geholfen, als ich während des Urlaubs erkrankte und einen Arzt benötigte. Noch einmal herzlichen Dank für alles.

Séjour paisible au coeur de la Bourgogne
L'appartement était conforme à ce qui était annoncé (les bémols inclus comme la mezzanine). Tout était déjà sur place (y compris serviettes, sel/poivre/huile d'olive, liquide vaisselle...), ce qui est appréciable pour un séjour court. L'hôtesse n'est pas intrusive (nous n'avons parlé que 5 minutes sur la semaine, lors de l'installation). L'absence d'adresse communiquée à l'avance est le bémol pour trouver l'ancienne forge de St Didier s/ Arroux (pas sur Maps), d'où mon bémol pour la procédure d'arrivée. Très bien sinon (message à l'avance et disponibilité à notre arrivée vers 19h30). En bref, une belle trouvaille du Sud Morvan pour un séjour reposant et/ou rayonner sur les différents sites touristiques du coin (Autun, Beaune, Settons...).
