Beaune
In Burgundy, in Meursault, an old 19th century coaching inn in need of rehabilitation. Situated below the village, the road crosses the departmental road and leads towards the plain of the Saône through fields. These gradually give way to a newly urbanized area, a veritable nursery of businesses mainly related to viticulture. Heading towards the train station, the road runs alongside fields and vineyards before skirting the majestic stone silhouette of the imposing building with roofs of small flat tiles. The structure is made up of a mosaic of 5 buildings, assembled over time and adapted to different uses. Surrounding the buildings, vast asphalted esplanades allow for ample parking. Cypress and lime trees define and frame the property in such a way that nothing suggests the presence of the nearby train station. A vineyard in a regional appellation wine zone extends along the western side, guaranteeing and protecting the distant view of the slopes from the terrace of the former restaurant. In the late 18th century, Turgot established a network of coaching inns facilitating the circulation of royal messengers. In the 19th century, Alphonse de Lamartine, then president of the General Council of Saône-et-Loire, supported the project of a Paris-Lyon-Marseille railway connection, positioning the building in close proximity to the needs of accommodation and services. Eventually, the coaching inn fell into disuse over time before being revived in the form of a 150-seat restaurant, becoming a local institution renowned for not only celebrating family events, but also for the development of tourist accommodation linked to the vineyards. As for the price of 950,000, it reflects the unique historical character and potential of this property in a prime location in Beaune. The opportunity to rehabilitate this former coaching inn and transform it into a thriving business or upscale residence makes it a worthwhile investment for those looking to capitalize on the charm and history of the Burgundy region.
