THE HOUSE
Peaceful stay in a hidden gem
Welcome to Le Manivert, a former hunting lodge built in 1795, in the midst of the French Revolution. The origin of the name is lost in the mists of time. One story tells of a previous owner, who was called ‘Mani’. Another talks of a contraction between ‘manoir’ and ‘vert’, the ‘green manor’. In any case, the old stones breathe history and, in a long timeline, we are but a short passage. We want to honour the house by opening it to passers-by who want to spend two or more nights there.
The house is on a cul-de-sac in the middle of the rural hills of the Nièvre, in Burgundy. Surrounded by stately old trees that provide shade and coolness in summer, it is a haven of peace. True silence still reigns, interrupted only by the song of a nightingale or the call of a buzzard. Silence is synonymous with the rustle of the wind. Well aware of how privileged we are, we are delighted to offer guests a warm and unique stay.
