Introduction to La Maison du Curé
The Gîte
Conveniently situated for visits to Taizé and Cluny, La Maison du Curé offers self catering accommodation in the village of Cormatin. The holiday cottage has 3 bedrooms and sleeps up to 6 people. It is ideal for families and is available throughout the year.
La Maison du Curé was built in 1823 and was, until recently, the house of the priests of Cormatin. It has been skillfully transformed into a cosy family cottage yet many of the original features have been retained.
The gîte is situated on a quiet corner not far from the centre of Cormatin with views over the River Grosne and the nearby Chateau.
The Village of Cormatin
Cormatin is renowned for the well preserved Louis XIII chateau with its original decoration and fabulous gardens. It is a very popular village with those attending the courses at the ecunemical centre at Taizé (5 minutes by car).
The village caters well for its visitors with a choice of restaurants, bars and cafés. If you want to eat in you can buy local produce from the two boulangeries, the butcher and the grocer. There is also an excellent wine outlet where you can choose the wines from the surrounding vineyards of the Mâconnais, Chalonnais and Beaujolais regions.
Cormatin is midway between Chalon-sur-Saône and Mâcon. The local towns of St. Gengoux-le-National with its winding medieval streets (10 minutes by car), and Cluny with its Benedictine Abbey (15 minutes) are well worth a visit.
