With the modern Church of Reconciliation, which the Brotherhood of Taize built here and fills with prayer day after day, the name really says it all. After the horror and misery of the Second World War, the founder of this community, Frere Roger, was primarily concerned with reconciliation: between peoples and between denominations ... and the way to get there is getting to know each other without prejudice and informal cooperation between people - especially of the young generation – who meet here in Taize. Which is often the beginning of a deep friendship.

Cormatin Castle

Highlight • Castle

This castle from the beginning of the 17th century can be visited, both for its gardens and for its interior. You will notably discover a monumental stone staircase and a well-preserved Louis XIII apartment. Outside, a large boxwood labyrinth, a green theater, ponds and flower beds will delight young and old alike.

The Papyllon

Highlight • Other

Huge selection of German and Belgian beers, unfortunately a rather small selection of French beers. Great for a little stopover. The owner is German and a real original.

Greenway of Southern Burgundy

Highlight • Cycleway

The “Voie Verte” cycle and pedestrian path was expanded on a former railway line. Easy to drive on and there are always shady trees along the side of the path. From the outside (without access) you can look into the "Source St. Etienne" park area of the community of Taizé.

Sainte-Marie-Madeleine Church

Highlight • Other

This small and simple place of worship is the old village church of Taize. Here, in this tiny hamlet, the founder of the Taize community, Frere Roger, found the right place for his brotherhood, which settled here. His idea of reconciliation between peoples and between denominations became a – surprisingly strong – magnet that has drawn many mostly young people here for decades. Even though a much larger "Church of Reconciliation" was later built in the neighborhood for reasons of space, in which the members of the Taize community and their visitors gather to pray day after day, here in the simple village church, Frere Roger, the Reconciler, has his assassination (2005) found his final resting place.
