Mont Saint-Romain is a 579-meter-high mountain in the Mâconnais mountains above the picturesque valley of Blanot. From the summit, you have a comprehensive 360-degree view.

On the roof of the local Auberge, there is a distinctive, historic orientation table, which was erected in 1948 by the Touring-Club de France.

An idyllic, asphalted cycle path right on the riverbank. This is a section of the well-known French long-distance cycle route "La Voie Bleue - Moselle-Saône Radweg" (Route V50) along the Saône. The entire long-distance cycle route runs for around 700 kilometers from the French border town of Apach (near the tripoint) to Lyon. The Saône section follows the natural meanders of the Saône, passing meadows, historic villages, and well-known wine-growing regions such as Mâcon. The route runs mostly flat on former towpaths.
