The Experience
The terraced garden is brimful of stepping stones and flowers, roses ramble, and bucolic views stretch across undulating pastures: this is a deeply rural ensemble. June, widely travelled, kind, attentive, a great reader and lover of art in all its forms, lives in a long stone farmhouse in a cluster of outbuildings that go back to 1740.
Up the stone steps to a charmingly old-fashioned two-bedroom suite in its own wing with interesting art, comfy sofas, bookshelves and a perfectly adequate kitchen area. The double bedroom is on a mezzanine level and has steps down to a second, smaller bedroom, then the bathroom with a proper bath.
June’s breakfasts are a real treat – full of local produce and very relaxed. She’ll also cook you traditional French dinners with a bit of notice, using vegetables and fruits from her garden along with fine regional fare – especially Charolais beef. Come to escape the banal and revel in a bit of soul.

We think you'll love
- Having interesting and lively conversation around the breakfast or dinner table and enjoying delicious French food
- Being in such a peaceful garden with much birdsong and setting off to explore the surrounding countryside on foot
- Visiting Charolles, the closest town, with its charming old buildings and canals
You should know
- It's not the ideal choice for anybody with limited mobility – there are outdoor and indoor steps
- The beautiful old stone fireplace in the living room isn't for lighting at the moment – a wood-burner is planned, but this is more of a summer place
- Parking is easy against the house – don't carry on up the lane or you'll have to reverse down again

If your hire car is going to get a flat tyre, make sure you are lucky enough to have it happen just before you get to June's place. After a great meal, good wine, conversation and a comfortable night in generous accomodation, June and her mechanic helped sort our our wheels, while June showed us around her lovely town of Charolles. Real hospitality in a beautiful and real part of France. Oh, and there is also a terrific one Michellin star and bistrot. Definitely "worth a detour".

June hosted us so generously - despite battling with a heavy cold at the time. Our first evening was marked by the tastiest boeuf bourguignon I've ever enjoyed. The ginger tabbies were a source of interest and delight. Everything in the guest apartment is beautifully appointed and well looked after. This is a delightful and restful haven.

Location
The neighbourhood
Charolles is just 7km and has plenty of bars and shops, a food market on Wednesdays and a Michelin-starred restaurant. For history lovers the area is rich in small Romanesque churches and Paray-le-Monial, 15km away, has the finest remaining example of Cluniac architecture. Visit châteaux, enjoy wine tastings, discover some charming villages or head to Lyon (90 minutes) on a small local train.

Introducing
June Bibby
It is June, a veritable polymath, who makes this place special. Born in Quebec, schooled in Chelsea, attended McGill University in Montreal, horticultural college in Sydney and ran a restaurant in the Caribbean – she is now settled here. Her first degree was in philosophy, her second in horticulture – if you revel in interesting conversation then come and be charmed here.
A truly gorgeous location with a superb host. We stopped over on our way to the Alps, and achieved a wonderfully relaxed start to our holiday. June was the perfect host and we loved our discussions over the evening meals.
