Charming Independent Gîte

at Rix Water Mill

The gîte offers a private, fully equipped retreat, perfect for couples or solo travellers. Spacious and bright, it is filled with natural light from large windows overlooking the mill stream, the village of Rix, and the river. The open-plan layout combines a comfortable living area with a kitchen, while original character has been carefully preserved alongside modern comforts such as underfloor heating, secure fibre-optic internet, a three-seater sofa, and a smart TV for cosy evenings in.

Nestled in Rix, near Clamecy, the village lies along the historic firewood route to Paris, where logs were floated downstream to Clamecy’s famed raftsmen – a quiet link to Burgundy’s rolling countryside and centuries-old traditions.

“Le Moulin”

Beside the lake beneath the trees
I am peaceful and at ease
Life is not always what it seems
But here I have only dreams

In Burgundy life is bliss
I shall always remember this.”
— poem by a cherished guest
