Attractions and Places To See around Mervans - Top 4

Located in the commune of Saint-Usuge, in the heart of the Bresse bourguignonne, the Étang Crépeau offers a peaceful setting for a break by the water. With a surface area of about three hectares, this body of water bordered by trees and reeds is particularly popular with anglers. It is home to black bass, a species subject to specific regulations requiring them to be released back into the water after capture.

In the village of Saint-Germain-du-Bois, you'll find several restaurants, bakeries, pharmacies, and a shopping center. There are even charging stations for electric cars. The village is a 7-minute drive from the Meix Gagnard guesthouse.

A beautiful lake with lots of frogs and ducks. The path around the lake is overgrown with 1m-high grass in May. A shame! The Étang Philippe lake next door is hidden behind the greenery. You can choose your way back either via the gravel path or the local road.

A great recommendation! Marianne and René are truly cool and adaptable hosts. It's definitely worth talking to them and letting them know your wishes – be it your preferred breakfast time, the type of breakfast, or your preferred check-in and check-out times. They're always on hand to make your stay as pleasant as possible. And if you need anything, they're happy to help – for a small tip, of course, which is perfectly understandable, since the government takes a large portion, approximately 33 percent, of the room rent. Overall, Marianne and René are welcoming hosts who place great value on their guests!

Marianne and René created this spot with a lot of love! The two are true festival enthusiasts and passionate about vintage engines and everything that moves. They place great importance on respecting nature and want to offer their guests a harmonious experience amidst beautiful scenery. Here, you can relax, enjoy the fresh air, and bring your fascinating vehicles—a place that perfectly combines fun, nature, and community. But please also note that they treat their wastewater biologically and lovingly maintain their house and garden.

Enjoy a relaxing stay! We'll take care of your breakfast, with fresh bread from the bakery every day and homemade jam.

The kitchen has everything you need, and you can leave the house almost swept clean – except for the kitchen! You can also use our saltwater pool, the pétanque court, and the large garden. We'll provide you with special items from our private home if you're looking for something. For activities in the area, you can enjoy walks, bike rides, or visits to historic towns.

Unfortunately, the interior is not so well preserved or has been heavily used by exhibitions. It seems a bit cluttered. The exhibitions about the region are interesting, though. Two submachine guns have also been preserved, which England dropped in large numbers from the air for the benefit of the Resistance during WWII.
