Tips from the Community
The Roman Catholic Church of St-Gervais-St-Protais in the municipality of Ozenay is an outstanding example of regional medieval architecture. A first church building on this site was already mentioned in documents around the year 950. The current building was largely built in the 12th century in two construction phases by the canons of Chalon. The transept, the choir, and the last bay of the nave (Nef) are the oldest parts and date from the mid-12th century. The first three bays of the nave were added towards the end of the 12th century.

The Abbey Church of Saint-Philibert in Tournus is one of the most important examples of early Romanesque architecture in Central Europe. The mighty west facade, with its embrasures and massive walls, is reminiscent of a medieval fortress. The nave features unique, transversely running barrel vaults, which create an extraordinary play of light inside. An ancient crypt lies beneath the choir, while the upper church, dedicated to Saint Michael, is located above the narthex.
