Welcome to a place where the old and new get along like best neighbors. No fence feuds, no noise complaints. Here, modern art doesn’t scream for attention like Times Square billboards but melts into the landscape, letting trees and meadows take the lead. Ever heard of cadoles? These quirky little cabins are inspired by the old winemakers’ huts of Beaujolais. Big windows frame the view, and there’s a fireplace ready for those long, cozy winter nights.

At first glance, everything looks sleek and modern, but looks can be deceiving. This place is rooted in tradition, run by a family. That old tower? Once a home for farm animals, now a restaurant. The farmhouse and its dovecote? Lovingly restored and turned into holiday homes. Marie-Pierre and Michel started the project, and now their son Leo and his wife Lisa keep it going. And Charolais? Not a fancy French dish, but the local cows, happily grazing on the surrounding pastures. Le Collinie du Colombier sits in a charming historic village in Saône-et-Loire, wrapped in quiet valleys and peacefulness.
