Gîte L'espace is located in an old rustic (former) farmhouse in the beautiful village of Bousseraucourt, a municipality in the French Haute-Saône department (region Bourgogne - Franche-Comté). The village has 50 inhabitants. Bousseraucourt is situated amidst sloping meadows and forests at an altitude varying between 300 and 400 metres.
Our cottage is situated at the end of the village. From the gîte, walking trails lead through the fields and woods.

The villages in the Haute Saône are situated between the, mostly, deciduous forests and intensively used pastures. There is a benevolent peace in this area. Many small underground rivers flow through this area. In many places, these rise as springs, providing water to fountains and characteristic public wash-houses. Sometimes several in a village. You will come across these fountains and washing places in countless villages.

This French rural region offers you a sloping hilly landscape with vast meadows and many forests, where the French villagers are characterised by simplicity and cordiality. In this originally rural region, nature plays a major role in daily life. This is expressed in various activities, such as keeping a vegetable garden and an orchard, heating eau de vie, cutting wood, fishing, hunting, walking, horse riding, etc.

    Het was fantastisch !!
    Bijna niet in woorden uit te leggen......
    Birgit en John hebben een klein paradijsje daar en zijn super attent!
    De gîte , zo authentiek en toch met alle moderne gemakken.
    Zo compleet , zo schoon, een heerlijk bed.
    Privé terras, een verkoelend zwembad, een grote tuin met vele leuke plekjes.
    De rust en de ruimte op het Franse platteland.
    De dorpjes , de uitzichten.
    Heerlijk om veel te fietsen , met elektrische ondersteuning is het goed te doen.
    Het voelt ook veilig, , er is weinig verkeer.
    Dat hebben we vrijwel elke dag ook gedaan.
    Met hulp van John waren er vele mooie routes te vinden.
    Birgit als gastvrouw altijd meedenkend en hulpvaardig.
    Gewoon doen {!} zou ik zeggen, zeker als je van fietsen (en wandelen} en rust houdt.
    Misschien toch een nadeel...er is geen bakker in de buurt, en dat vonden wij best een beetje jammer.

    Comment from Birgit Ritten

    Beste Andries en Yvonne,
    Fijn dat jullie het zo naar de zin hebben gehad. En ja....wij missen onze bakker ook zeer. We hopen dat er snel een vervanging komt. Hartelijke groet

    We onderschrijven de hierboven genoemde positieve recensies over de geweldige gîte, de omgeving, de rust, de verse broodjes, de mooie wandel- en fietsroutes, de ruimte en John en Birgit. Het was voor ons een heerlijke week. In de prachtige glooiende, landelijke omgeving gewandeld en gefietst (zonder ondersteuning;-) en genoten. Het zwembad was een kers op de taart na een paar uur (ontspannen) inspanning.
    Donker is in Bousseraucourt echt donker en stil is echt stil. Wat fijn. Je begrijpt wat de vogels tjilpen en de ezels balken (wij willen wortels). Kortom SUPER! Grtjs.
