In this small town with its surrounding endless vineyards, everyone seems to live from viticulture.

The caves were already used by humans and animals around 250,000 years ago. It is mainly known for the huge number of found bones of cave bears and cave lions. Visitors can explore a prehistoric cave full of bone finds as well as a second cave with an impressive underground river. Right on site, there is an archaeological museum that displays the finds.

Whoever passes through the fortified gate undertakes a real journey through time through 1000 years of French architecture and knight history.

The origins of the hilltop castle date back to the 9th and 10th centuries. It is considered an outstanding example of the evolution of military architecture from the High Middle Ages (Carolingian period) to the Wars of Religion in the 16th century, during which it was looted and partially destroyed. Highlights include the ruins of the monumental manor hall from the year 1000 (Logis de l'An Mil) as well as the over 20-meter-high keep (Donjon), which offers a spectacular 360-degree panoramic view over the Grosne valley and the surrounding Burgundian vineyards.

Located at the end of the medieval hamlet of Brancion, this Romanesque church is well worth the detour. It overlooks the valley and offers a 180° view.
