My structure

Description

The gîte is located in a small hamlet with fewer than 100 inhabitants. What makes the hamlet so special is that it lies alongside the Canal du Nivernais. The canal was used to transport timber from the Morvan to Paris, as well as wine from the Yonne. My house, like most in the village, was probably a storage facility for wine barrels before they were loaded onto the barges. It's a longère, with a part where I live, and a part that I rent out. It's set in an enclosed garden. I've renovated the barn to make it my winery, and built a wooden shed for my farm equipment. My vineyards are a few kilometers away: in the communes of Irancy, Vincelottes and Jussy.
