If you love the tranquility of the countryside, come stay in a traditional stone house in a Beaujolais village. You'll appreciate its small garden with swimming pool and the coolness of the house during the hot summers. The barn, sheltered from the sun or rain, allows you to enjoy the outdoors for your meals or your nap. For a little coolness, head to the living room or kitchen where you can make a fire to keep you company. Leave the house and stroll through the vineyards and Beaujolais by bike or on foot. If you're a foodie, the world capital awaits you: Lyon and its traboules (traboules) are 20 minutes away by car or bus if you prefer.
