The Halle ronde (the "round hall") in the French municipality of Givry was built between 1825 and 1830. It was designed by the regionally known architect Lazare Narjoux. It originally served as a grain hall (Halle au blé) to supply the surrounding mills and the population with grain. Due to its rare, circular design, the market hall has been classified as a historic monument since 1931.

The station no longer serves trains. The historic site has been transformed into a vibrant leisure zone (Aire de loisirs de la gare). The building is located directly on the Voie Verte de Bourgogne du Sud, a well-known 77 km cycle path on a former railway line. Travelers will find a bicycle rental service for regular and electric bikes, a tool station for repairs, picnic tables, public restrooms, and a children's playground. It also serves as a starting point for excursions, for example to the nearby Château de Cormatin.

The Col du Bois Clair is a 396-meter high French mountain pass in the Massif Central. It is located in the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region in the Saône-et-Loire department and lies within the municipality of Sologny. The pass summit is crossed by the departmental road D17. Beneath the pass runs the Tunnel du Bois Clair, a former railway tunnel. At 1.6 kilometers long, it is the longest tunnel in France accessible to bicycles. Today it serves as part of the Voie Verte cycle path, but is closed from October to April to protect hibernating bats.

This small 15th-century castle, built of brick, has not undergone any restoration. In the 18th century, it still had a rectangular enclosure with four towers. Only a main residential building remains between two large square towers topped with high hipped roofs. The larger of the two towers features elegant mullioned windows. Some bays have retained medieval wrought-iron grilles.
