The Église Saint-Jean-Baptiste de Burgy (Church of St. John the Baptist), a small, charming village church, is a typical Romanesque building from the 11th to 12th century. It is known for its stocky, solid construction. It has a massive square bell tower and a roof covered with traditional limestone slabs (laves). Inside, the church has a single nave. Due to its historical significance, it was officially protected as a French historical monument (Monument Historique) in 1979.

The Romanesque church originally dates from the 11th to 12th centuries. It is a classic example of the early Romanesque art of the Haut-Mâconnais region. The nave, the choir, and the distinctive square bell tower are entirely preserved in this style. Over the centuries (in the Gothic period as well as in the 19th century) there were minor architectural changes. Monument protection: The building has been classified as an official French cultural monument (Monument historique) since 1979.

Although the pass is located in France and is not extremely high, its name translates to "Siberia Pass". The name goes back to the often very cold, snow-rich winds and the harsh weather conditions in winter.

The Col de Gerbet (612 m) is an idyllic mountain pass in the French wine-growing region of Beaujolais. Depending on the starting point, various roads with little traffic lead up to the pass via the D137. From Juliénas (south-east approach): This route is 7.3 kilometers long. It overcomes 342 meters of altitude with a steady, moderate gradient of 4.7% on average. The road winds through shady forest sections. From La Croix Blanche (west approach): A tougher variant 4.5 kilometers long. Here you conquer 270 meters of altitude with an average gradient of 6% and ramps of up to 11%.

The pass is a popular climb for road cyclists in the region. The route from Villié-Morgon via the Col du Truges up to the higher Col du Fût d'Avenas is considered a scenically beautiful, steady tour past gentle vineyards.

Low-traffic bridge, further on you can cycle under both the railway line and the national road, then a bridge leads over the motorway towards Uchizy. Nice shortcut.
