Saint-Gengoux-le-National, Burgundy 71460

A medieval, 15th-century, half-timbered house, in south Burgundy, not far from the abbeys at Cluny and Tournus. All the building has been fully renovated under the supervision of an architect specialised in heritage and under the control of heritage agency Btiments de France. Such was the quality of the work carried out that it received a French heritage label from the Fondation du Patrimoine agency. Furthermore, during this work, it was possible to confirm the origins of the building as being from the first quarter of the 15th century) thanks to a dendrochronological study. In respect for the past, no visibly anachronistic materials were used in the renovation and the building is made up of wood, stone, earth and glass.
