Tips from the Community
La Butte de Suin is a 593-meter-high viewpoint hill in the Saône-et-Loire department, near the small French municipality of Suin. From the summit, there is an impressive 360-degree panoramic view. In clear weather, you can look far over the hilly landscapes of Southern Burgundy (including the Charolais and Clunysois regions, and as far as Beaujolais). At the summit, there is a striking statue of the Virgin Mary, an orientation table for hikers, and the remains of an old fortress that was used from the Celtic period until the 16th century.

The KKriegerdenkmal commemorates the fallen of the World Wars. In November 1943, the site played a role in the French Resistance when local Maquisards (resistance fighters) marched to the monument to lay a wreath, despite the German occupation.

The Église Saint-Barthélemy is a charming village church, rebuilt in the 19th century in the neo-Gothic style. It has a historical, considerably older bell tower in the Romanesque style. The church is part of the Roman Catholic parish of Sainte-Marie-sous-Dun in the Diocese of Autun.

Clear point of view over the whole region. It climbs nicely no matter which side you take, but it's worth it. The descent to St-Bonnet by small road is pretty.

An essential point of view. The Butte de Suin rises to 593 meters. A path leads to the statue of the Virgin where there is an orientation table. From there, a magnificent circular panorama is revealed. We can see the Charolais to the west, Mont Saint-Vincent and Montceau-les-Mines to the north-west, the Chalonnaise region to the north-east, the Clunysois to the east, Mont Saint-Cyr and the foothills of Beaujolais South. The mound housed a fortified site from the Celtic period until the 16th century.
