Attractions and Places To See around Ozan - Top 20

An idyllic, paved cycle path directly on the riverbank. It is a section of the well-known French long-distance cycle route „La Voie Bleue - Moselle-Saône Radweg" (Route V50) along the Saône. The entire long-distance cycle route covers around 700 kilometers from the Luxembourg border town of Apach (near the tripoint) to Lyon. The Saône section follows the natural meanders of the Saône, passing meadows, historic villages, and well-known wine-growing regions such as Mâcon. The route is mostly flat on former towpaths.

The Plan d'Eau de Fleurville (also known as Gravière de Fleurville) is a beautiful recreational and natural lake in the Saône-et-Loire department. The body of water is located directly on the border of the municipalities of Saint-Albain and Fleurville on the Saône. It is a former gravel pit that has been renatured and is today an important refuge for biodiversity as well as a popular excursion destination. The lake is equipped with picnic tables, fishing piers, and observation points. It is an excellent place for hiking, cycling (near the Voie Bleue cycle path), and birdwatching (e.g. for storks and migratory birds).

From up here, there is a sweeping panoramic view over the wide Saône valley and the typical, gently rising vineyards of the Mâconnais. The area is a popular destination for hikers and mountain bikers who enjoy the view along the winding paths through the vineyards.

The Eglise Saint-Laurent de Mâcon is the historic parish church of Saint-Laurent-sur-Saône, a French municipality located directly opposite the city of Mâcon on the other bank of the Saône. The church dates back to an old abbey from the 6th century. In the 11th century, only the Romanesque chapel of the original complex remained, which was then used as the parish church. As the municipality was formerly closely connected to the larger neighboring city, the place was long called Saint-Laurent-lès-Mâcon (or the church Saint-Laurent de Mâcon). It was only in 1958 that the name was officially changed to Saint-Laurent-sur-Saône.

Along the Saône runs the unfortunately often unpaved, patchy Voie Bleu ("Blue Way"). Incidentally, there is only one Voie Bleu, unlike the Voies Vertes. From Wikivoyage.
