Berzé-le-Châtel church

Highlight • Other

See the Romanesque Église Saint-Sébastien in Berzé-le-Châtel, a commune in the Saône-et-Loire department in the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region.

The church, dedicated to Saint Sebastian, was built in 1739. The date is still visible today on the rear part of the choir.

It replaced a dilapidated 16th-century chapel, which previously served as a parish church and was later demolished.

The church is located in the hamlet of Les Baudys, directly on the D309 road. From here, looking south, you have a direct view of the rocky spur with the imposing medieval castle of Berzé-le-Châtel.

Cluny train station

Highlight • Other

The former Cluny-Chalon-sur-Saône railway line has been decommissioned. The old station grounds now serve as the central bus stop ("Cluny Gare") for regional buses. Lines 701 and 709 of the Mobigo network connect the town to the TGV station in Mâcon in about 30 minutes.

Directly at the old station runs the Voie Verte (an asphalted railway path cycle route). There is a large e-bike and bicycle rental service on site for tourists.

Cluny

Highlight • Settlement

The town of Cluny was based on the Benedictine monastery (Cluniac Abbey), founded in 910. The abbey was the starting point and center of the Cluniac reform at the beginning of the 10th century. Cluny reached its peak membership at the beginning of the 12th century with approximately 400 monks.

The last abbey church (Cluniac 3) was the world's largest Romanesque basilica and, until the construction of today's St. Peter's Basilica in Rome, the largest church in Christendom. The church had seven towers.

Although large parts of the building were destroyed, the remaining relics are absolutely remarkable and make a visit to Cluny an unforgettable experience!

Château de Berzé

Highlight • Other

Berzé is a family-owned castle, built by the ancestors of the current owners to protect the Abbey of Cluny. It dominates a magnificent panorama over the vineyards of the Solutré valley. Built between the 11th and 15th centuries around its Carolingian chapel, the castle retains its entire defensive system, thirteen towers including two keep, its impressive entrance castle and its medieval halls.
This makes it the largest and best preserved fortress in Burgundy.
The castle is made up of three ring walls. Each houses various gardens, orchards and vegetable gardens, as well as a French garden with box trees, statues, hornbeams and large yews cut like chess pieces. From the terraces, there is a magnificent view of the Lamartinien valley with its vineyards in the background.

The fortress was built from the 11th to the 15th century around a Carolingian chapel. Its role was to defend Cluny Abbey. The building retains its entire defensive system with two keeps and 11 towers.
Superbly preserved, you can enjoy the three enclosures, a catering service and a picnic area.
