Le Château - Pourlans

Both "pilates" instructors (sessions possible on site, by reservation), Marie-France & Gilles open the doors of a majestic 13th century fortified house steeped in history (formerly linked to a medieval castle which has now disappeared), endowed with a rare & very elegant brick architecture, carefully restored and revisited into a very comfortable resort. In the heart of the Bressian agricultural countryside, between fields & meadows, bordering the center of a small residential village nestled between the banks of the nearby Doubs (paradise for kayakers & fishermen, famous for its catfish, zander or carp, with natural beaches), remarkable ecosystem protected and classified as a "Natura 2000 Zone" (exceptional ornithological reserve rich in 160 species of birds and very rare plant varieties) and the vast neighboring national forest of Pourlans, a literal wild "green lung" dotted with hiking trails (at travel on foot or by mountain bike). Vast enclosed natural park of 1.4 ha, partly wooded (perfect play & adventure area for children) including a large exposed and shaded terrace in summer. Very comfortable cottage. Very spacious. Beautiful volumes. Warm "bourgeois" character with contemporary accents, opulent & refined, mixing traditions & modernity, enhanced by the rich traces of the past including an unusual chapel (brick walls, stone fireplace mantle, beams, ceilings, sumptuous framework, terracotta tiles, cellars vaulted…).
