Local Attractions
We are very knowledgeable about the area and will point you in the direction of places to go and things to do. There is the Monday market at Marcigny, wine tasting in the Beaujolais vineyards, and Semur-en-Brionnais, listed as one of the most beautiful villages in France nearby.
In this gently rolling countryside, famous for Charolais, you will find the best beef in France. Every Wednesday, two important cattle markets are held – one at Charolles and the other at St.Christophe-en-Brionnais. If chocolate is more your scene, visit Bernard Dufoux in La Clayette. The smell on entering the shop of this master chocolate maker is intoxicating, and the taste, irresistible.
There are little Romanesque churches to explore, and at La Clayette, you will find a magnificent château in the middle of a lake forming the centrepiece of the town. The car museum in the château is open to visitors. Nearby is Château de Drée with its ornate rooms and formal gardens. If you enjoy walking or cycling, there are routes on the doorstep.
