The L‘Ecurie is situated in the peaceful hamlet of Ecorsaint (approx 45 minutes west of Dijon) in the heart of the burgundian countryside.

It shares magnificent views and a swimming pool with two independent, private villas. The Farmhouse (sleeps 2-4) and Pickwicks Cottage (sleeps 2), all 3 properties can be rented individually or as one unit sleeping up to 14 people.

The kitchen is well equipped to cater for up to 14 people and includes a large Ambassador gas hob and oven, microwave, cafétière and food processor. The large dining room (seats 14 comfortably) has an open wood fire. The room has an interesting arched window which dates back to the 17th century which was used, with a stone slab sink, for washing and drying cheese. It has now been glazed and overlooks the back garden terrace.

Directly off the dining room is the salon with two large arched windows leading out onto the terrace. The salon is spacious and offers comfortable seating. There is a large Burgundian armoire which houses the stereo, with CD player, and a selection of CD's (mainly classical). There is a television receiving BBC world channels and a DVD/video machine with a selection of videos and DVD's. The salon has a wood burning fire and under floor heating. The house benefits from central heating throughout.
