Located in a small hamlet in France in Burgundy is the idyllic holiday home La Fermette du Merle. The small farmhouse ('fermette') overlooks the rolling hills of the Nièvre and the Morvan. This is the perfect place for people looking for total peace and quiet, in the dreamy setting of the French countryside

Upon entering, you are greeted by lots of natural light and a colour palette of soft pastel shades. Brocante furniture is combined with a contemporary feel. The classic French kitchen is the beating heart of the house and invites you to prepare a sumptuous dinner. There is also a comfortable double room with a modern bathroom. La Fermette du Merle is the ideal place to disconnect from the hustle and bustle of everyday life and to enjoy the peace and nature

La Fermette du Merle is surrounded by a very spacious garden, where lovely sitting areas have been created. Enjoy a glass of local wine and, in the evening, do not forget to admire the stars. The Nièvre is one of the darkest areas in France, which guarantees beautiful starry skies! 

There are several swimming lakes within easy reach. Here you can enjoy a refreshing swim or a picnic, but you can also go hiking, cycling or canoeing, rafting and sailing. To help you find your way in the area, the Dutch owners have made a guide with their favourite addresses (shops, restaurants, villages, brocantes and wine houses).

La Fermette du Merle is located in the small hamlet of Crux-la-Ville, in the Burgundy region in the east of France. This region is known for its rich history, beautiful nature and of course delicious wines. Before your arrival, the Dutch owners will be happy to share their favourite activities, towns and restaurants with you. Whether you like hiking, wine or culture, this area offers something for everyone.

At a 10 minute drive you will find the swimming lake Étang du Merle (5 km), ideal for hot summer days. There is a small beach where you can lie back and take a dive into the lake. Around the lake you will find a dreamy forest for long walks. A little further on, you will find the nature park of the Morvan, where you can make beautiful bike rides and also excellent walks. Larger lakes are: Étangs de Vaux et de Baye (15 km) or Lac de Pannecière (43 km) in the Morvan. At these lakes it is also possible to canoe, raft and sail.

Furthermore, in the vicinity of the house there are a number of charming historical towns that you can visit. For example, drive to Nevers (38 km), one of the larger cities along the river Loire. Here you can visit the Palais ducal de Nevers and walk through the many winding streets full of shops, restaurants and bars. Also the medieval town of La Charité-sur-Loire (49 km) is located at this river and offers a nice daytrip. Within an hour's drive you can reach Avallon (61 km), another town with a rich history and easy to combine with a visit to Vézelay (54 m).
