Spacious Holiday House in Burgundy, France / Moulin de Corde

Moulin de Corde is a quite haven tucked away in the gastronomic centre of France and is a comfortable base from which to discover the delights of the Burgundy region or simply put your feet up, relax and take in the fresh country air.

Nestled against a cliff-face, Moulin de Corde offers serene rural views and overlooks the Lac du Docteur Parisot. Located on the edge of the rural village of Recey-sur-Ource, the mill overlooks farmlets, the forest, a local sporting field and the meandering Ource river.

Amble along the lake's edge to the local swimming pool and recreation facilities, great for picnics, leisurely walks, summer activities and family entertainment. During the height of winter the lake is a beautiful sight as it freezes over, much to the delight the local children.

It is a short 5 minute walk to the Centre de Ville where you will find a well-stocked, and reasonably priced, épicerie (grocery store), boulangerie (bakery), pharmacy, post office and even a couffieur (hairdresser) should you require one. We highly recommend the boulangerie, when we stay we visit daily for the freshest and finest of French fare.
