Nature and surroundings
It’s a fantastic area for biking and hiking!! There’s very little traffic, so the narrow roads form an endless network of biking and hiking trails. You can bike here all day and only come across 5 cars. The surrounding landscape is authentic, charming, and serene, with many sweeping views of countless hills covered in grain, meadows, forests, sunflower fields, lakes, and the canal. Here, you feel as if you’ve stepped back in time; time seems to stand still. Maison Machecourt is located along two marked hiking trails. There are also castles to visit, gardens, and medieval towns and villages. Champallement is situated exactly halfway between the famous pilgrimage town of Vézelay, with its iconic cathedral, and the renowned wine town of Sancerre along the Loire. Just 15 km away lies the most beautiful canal in France: the Canal du Nivernais, which, with its many colorful locks, leads to the large lakes of Baye and Bazolle. Also 15 km away is a natural swimming lake hidden away in the woods.

The contact with the landlords Gerben and Jacqueline is very pleasant.
Het contact met de verhuurders Gerben en Jacqueline is heel prettig.
Let's start right away with the strongest point of this nature house in Champallement: the view. From the garden you look for miles over the rolling countryside of the Nievre. It is always a feast to return from a hiking or biking trip to sit o[ the lawn, lay your legs on the stone wall and endlessly let your gaze go over the green hills. The cottage itself is also very nice. It is small, with a surprisingly spacious bathroom, but plenty big enough for two people. Champallement is located in a landscape where time seems to have stood still. Along the way, on a bicycle or on foot, you encounter very few people. The villages are hushed and the grazing cows under a tree remind you of a Paulus Potter painting. The Nievre is a very nice cycling area, but you should not mind a decent climb every now and then. If you want to cycle flat, the Nivernais canal is a good alternative.
Laten we gelijk maar met het sterkste punt van dit natuurhuisje in Champallement beginnen: het uitzicht. Vanuit de tuin kijk je tientallen kilometers ver uit over het golvende landschap van de Nievre. Het is telkens weer een feest om na terugkomst van een wandel- of fietstocht plaats te nemen o[ het grasveld, je benen op het stenen muurtje te leggen en eindeloos je blik te laten gaan over de groene heuvels. Ook het huisje zelf is heel fijn. Het is klein, met een verrassend ruime badkamer, maar ruimschoots groot genoeg voor twee personen. Champallement ligt in een landschap waar de tijd stil lijkt te hebben gestaan. Onderweg, op de fiets of wandelend, kom je maar weinig mensen tegen. De dorpjes zijn verstild en de grazende koeien onder een boom doen je denken aan een schilderij van Paulus Potter. De Nievre is een heel mooi fietsgebied, maar je moet niet opzien tegen een behoorlijke klim zo af en toe. Als je vlak wilt fietsen is het kanaal van Nivernais een prima alternatief.
