An 18th-century property with four houses, grounds that are home to protected tree species and a swimming pool, south of Lyon, in a village renowned for its remarkable heritage and its vineyards.
This property is situated in the Rhône area, on the right bank of the river, amidst a setting boasting much history and culture, in the centre of a village renowned for its remarkable monuments from the Romanesque, Gothic and Renaissance periods, as well as for its PDO classed vineyards that pay witness to the region's wine-making heritage. Outdoor pursuits enthusiasts will enjoy hiking in the Pilat mountains, cycling on the Via Rhôna track and the nearby water sports centre.
