The Saint-Laurent Bridge (Pont Saint-Laurent) is a historic stone bridge that spans the Saône River. It connects the town of Mâcon in the Saône-et-Loire department with the municipality of Saint-Laurent-sur-Saône in the Ain department. Initial wooden structures were already built by the Romans. The current stone bridge dates back to the 11th century in its core and is considered the oldest bridge over the Saône. The structure consists of twelve stone arches.

The historic Château de Corcelles (Castle in the French department of Rhône in Corcelles-en-Beaujolais) in the famous Beaujolais wine region was originally built in the 13th century on the foundations of an old Carolingian fortress as a defensive castle to protect against the Burgundians. After severe destruction, Jean de Laye rebuilt the castle around 1470 in its present basic form with a square keep and round towers. In the 16th century, a distinctive half-timbered gallery in the courtyard and a Gothic chapel were added. The estate has been a listed monument since 1927.
