L'Elcuse is situated on the banks of the Roanne-Digoin canal near the village of Briennon with its marina, canal museum and local amenities (bank, restaurants, small supermarket, bakeries, pharmacy & cafes). Briennon is just to the south of Burgundy in the Loire department and has varied and beautiful scenery all around. Within easy reach are the vineyards of Burgundy and Beaujolais, the volcanic region around Le Puy, Lyon - the second city in France plus many pretty villages, historic churches all waiting to be explored locally. Cycling, walking, canoeing are all available for the more active visitor and leisurely trips along the canal for the less active! The nearest towns are Charlieu and Roanne both of which have local markets (Wednesday/Saturday and Tuesday/Friday respectively) and a good range of shops - both food and non-food! There are many local restaurants offering a variety of menus (and prices!) and many cafes offering a traditional 'Menu du Jour' - always good value!
