La Maison du Curé was built in 1823 and was, until recently, the house of the priests of Cormatin. It has been skillfully transformed into a cosy family cottage yet many of the original features have been retained.

La Maison du Curé is on a quiet corner not far from the centre of Cormatin and opposite the Chateau. By the side of the cottage stands the Calvaire, and you will find plenty of space for parking. It is a short walk to the two boulangeries and the shops. There is a tabac, post office and grocer's as well as a craft centre housed in the old spinning mill by the river. Here you can buy local gourmet foods and the work of the many local artists and craftsmen.

There is a selection of good eating places to in Cormatin. You can choose the restaurant at the Hôtel Les Bles d'Or, or one of the several pavement cafes and bars, or the pizza place where you can watch Marco make the pizzas.

Cormatin is especially renowned for its Louis XIII château with its original decoration and fabulous gardens.

Many people find Cormatin an ideal base for visiting Taizé, the Christian centre, which is five minutes away by car. Young people attend from all over the world for teaching and prayer. The monks hold three Church services a day and all visitors are given a warm welcome.

If you are a cyclist this is the place to be. Cormatin is on the Voie Verte. This is a wonderful cycle track made using the old railway and canal tow paths. It runs the length of southern Burgundy and provides mostly easy cycling and breath-taking views over the countryside.

For five weeks in the summer Cormatin plays host to a series of concerts and operas, held in the Chateau theatres. There is also a Guitar festival in August and many musical events are held in the Romanesque churches of the local villages.

There are many museums to visit too. Cormatin has its Musée du Poilu which depicts life in the 1st World War trenches. Cormatin is a magnet for fans of Alphonse Lamartine who lived in this area.

Burgundy is known as 'le pays du bien vivre'. It is the quintessential heart of French cooking. Escargot, beouf bourgogne and coq au vin are local dishes to this area. Wine can be sampled at the local vineyards.
