MAKE-MUSIC-CAMPING ... WHERE MUSICIANS MEET AND PLAY... Inspired by the flow of visiting musiscians we now are officially make-music- camping,where musicians meet .Since 2015 this is a great success, especially in high season. Do view the videos on youtube using this link.
Mosts nights there was lovely music making by spontaneously meeting musicians all in a unstructured way. Than we have instruments available for you, such as piano, guitar, bass and drum and more It is an open project and we love to see it grow and give good vibrations... Feel free to COME PLAY HERE
And you can still sleep peacefully .the music happens in the front of the site or inside...not loud and all the bush and trees and distance keeps sthe pitches real quiet...we have to alert our campers by bicycle and invite them to come and enjoy,if not they will not notice that there are sessions going on... All this creates an unbelievably lovely harmony between all of us. THANKYOU to all you great and giveted musicians for all the unforgettableness ....
Please just come and enjoy touring in burgundy, cycling, canoeing, walking, extreme quietness, birdsongs in spring, the lovely late season weather, good burgundy meals, the general good ambiance, your kids being happy... and so much more.... plus free WIFI and games and books in the big hall. Chilled wine and beer we sell.
News : Fireplace is installed in the big hall. New Backpacker-style communal kitchen next to the big hall is ready for use. Our new big row boat has arrived and another row boat and a sailboat as well. All this is free to be used by you.
Département: côte d'or
The history of this lake starts in the middle ages ,when the monks from nearby Molesme did all they could to have a steady supply of fresh fish (such as carp ) to enjoy on fridays, when meat was off their menu..Small Dykes were built to retain more water in the Marcenay lake. Then, around 1700, iron production was undertaken by the same monks at the lake side. The beautiful furnace is still there today, next to the campsite (see pictures). Lakewater was used to turn big water wheels which powered big air blowers to heat up the charcoal fire.
Come and discover this unspoilt place where time seems to have stopped or at least where clocks seem to tick a bit slower...
