La Maison Eclusière - Genelard | House in GENELARD

Charming authentic "lock house" from the end of the 18th century - steeped in history & fully restored by the town - nestled "feet in the water" on the banks of the famous Canal du Centre, on the site of a lock still in operation (totally secure). The assurance of an exotic spectacle without the nuisance offered by the passage of peaceful pleasure boats, nestled in the heart of a mini rural agricultural & residential hamlet, close to the village, a stone's throw from the banks of the Bourbince and the gentle surrounding countryside, combining bucolic hedged meadows & wild forests. A picturesque little shopping town with many amenities (including a city stadium), located on a major former coalfield exploited since the Middle Ages.

Comfortable cottage. A west-facing terrace "canal side" complemented by a balcony-terrace to the east "garden side."
