The "Maison de Coeur" CHARMING House & Garden -Village & River- Ideal for Family | House in Cry

The "Maison de Coeur"
HOUSE OF CHARACTER XVIII-XIX with barn & gardens in the heart of a pretty village : nice river, Burgundy Canal, cows, sheep... Charm & simplicity, stones & old beams...
A quiet house, easy to live, heat or cool. Bread & croissant at the café. Grocer/butcher deliveries like in the old times! Ideal for families : canoe, swings 50m, aquatic center 15mn car. A paradise for cycling - rented & delivered bikes at the TO of Montbard. A haven full of charm 1 h TGV from Paris!
"I like the alliance of charm and simplicity that makes "La Maison de Coeur" a perfect place to feel quiet in the gardens or to visit the surroundings by bike or car - numerous historical sites - or even take a trip to Paris - 1 hour by TGV from Montbard or 2h TER !
The house is at the very heart of a small village : Cry/Armançon. A charming place, surrounded by fields and forests, cows and sheep ; lovely river with an area to play and picnic, old bridge, church and crypt of the XI c.
At 200m : the BURGUNDY CANAL ! Ideal for cycling !
Bread and croissant, take away dishes at the café-restaurant just facing the house !
Food shopping ? In the next village 5mn car, or 20mn by bike along the canal, or simply waiting for deliveries at home : butcher and grocery !
DESCRIPTION
"La Maison de Coeur" can comfortably accommodate 6 to 7 people with its 3 bedrooms, one living room and a large kitchen, and 2 gardens ( 200m2 +300m2). It is an old but practical house with a lot of charm, for those not seeking luxury, but loving calm, in a spirit of respecting the neighbors, home and gardens.

HIGHLIGHTS of "La Maison de Coeur" are, in my opinion :
- CHARM AND SIMPLICITY.
- THE GARDENS - perfect to feel at home ; ideal for barbecues and lounge chair, or simply to drop bicycles coming back from the canal...
- EASY LIVING: 2 train stations (TER 5mn and TGV 15mn), grocery stores or markets (5mn or 15mn by car), grocery delivery twice a week, and quality butcher delivery once a weak...!
- BAR-RESTAURANT opposite the house for bread and croissant, a coffee or burgundy aperitif, lunch or take away dishes to be eaten in the garden...
- RAPID refreshing or heating of the house, simply by pressing a button (heat pump).
Concerning the "TECHNOLOGY", it is a house with internet but without TV or microwave...
This old house also has a special feature in the two upstairs bedrooms, the floor "sings" under the feet. This is not the case of the room on the ground floor.
Church bells may wake you up in the morning ! The Angelus is at 7 am... Some people just love it. Some people don't even notice...!
HOME GUIDEBOOK
At your disposal in the kitchen : our homemade guidebook with lots of photos that the hosts find very convenient to find everything : WIFI code, where to find what, practical addresses, days of the grocer's or butcher's delivery, pleasant walks, sites to visit - known and less known etc.

"La Maison de Coeur" is entirely accessible except 3 rooms, on the ground floor. The barn is open too, but it is asked not to play ball in it, and it is strictly prohibited to climb the heights of the barn.
Chimney fires are forbidden (trap door out of order).

HOUSECLEANING
TWO POSSIBILITIES :
- Cleaning charge 70 € to be specified in advance, ideally when booking.
- Or quality housecleaning by your own. In this case, we ask our guests to leave the house in the state of cleanliness where they found it. It is important for us that our hosts engage in this task responsibly, as it may be impossible to find someone at the last minute to clean before the arrival of new guests. It would be a very uncomfortable situation for everyone.
An efficient household of 2 good hours is enough. If not, more...!
FINAL TIDYING UP
IN ALL CASES, we ask our guests to tidy up of the house, garden and barn, unless otherwise agreed.
The home guidebook with all the photos is at your disposal in the kitchen, so it not complicated !
In case of clearly insufficient tydying up, we will then have to do it for you; this may justify the request for payment of additional fees.
HEATING/AIR CONDITIONING
We thank our guests for turning it off in the unoccupied rooms, or when leaving the house.
