La Maison du Curé is a stone built cottage from 1823 and was the home of the priests of Cormatin. It has been skilfully renovated whilst retaining many of the original features. It is in a quiet street not far from the entrance to the Chateau for which Cormatin is renowned.
Cormatin is a bustling village on the river Grosne with plenty of facilities including two restaurants, two boulangeries, a post office a grocer and a tabac. There is a thriving craft industry which exhibits in the old textile mill.
Taizé, the famous ecumenical centre, is only about 5 minutes away by car. There are three services a day at Taizé and holidaymakers are made most welcome. It is an fabulous experience to take part in the chanting, which originated in Taizé and has spread worldwide.
Cluny was the centre of the Church in the 11th century and you can still appreciate how spectacular the Abbey was. Many of the surrounding villages have well preserved Romanesque churches which have changed little since the 12th century.

Attractions
Burgundy is a paradise for walkers and cyclists. The rolling hills can be a challenge to the more energetic but there are plenty of flat trails. Cormatin is midway on the Voie Verte, a former railway track that stretches about 60km from north to south. This track is popular with roller bladers too. It provides easy access to the vineyards and surrounding region.
Being in Burgundy, you are never very far away from the vineyards and there are several local 'caves' where it is possible to taste the local wines and buy some to take home.Price Open all year
