Château de Cormatin is a magnificent moated castle from the early 17th century. The castle was built between 1606 and 1625 by the Marquises d'Huxelles. It houses the best-preserved state rooms from the time of Louis XIII in all of France. Famous are the "Gilded Rooms" (Salles Dorées) with opulent paintings, sculptures, and gilded ceilings. The extensive grounds, covering around 12 hectares, are among the most beautiful gardens in France. Highlights in the outdoor area include a large boxwood maze, an open-air baroque theatre, water features, and a historic vegetable garden.

The Community of Taizé is an international ecumenical monastic order for men in the small village of Taizé, founded in 1940 by Brother Roger. It is considered one of the most important symbols of the ecumenical movement worldwide and a spiritual center of attraction for young people. The brotherhood consists of around 80 to 100 brothers from about 30 countries. They belong to various Christian denominations, including Catholics, Anglicans, and Protestants. The brothers do not accept donations or inheritances. They finance their livelihood exclusively through their own work, such as producing pottery and handicrafts, as well as selling books and music recordings.

This small 15th-century castle, built of brick, has not undergone any restoration. In the 18th century, it still had a rectangular enclosure with four towers. Only a main residential building remains between two large square towers topped with high hipped roofs. The larger of the two towers features elegant mullioned windows. Some bays have retained medieval wrought-iron grilles.

The town of Cluny developed around the Benedictine monastery (Abbey of Cluny) founded in 910. The abbey was the origin and center of the Cluniac reform at the beginning of the 10th century. Cluny reached its peak membership at the beginning of the 12th century with about 400 monks. The last abbey church (Cluny 3) was the world's largest Romanesque basilica and, until the construction of the present-day St. Peter's Basilica in Rome, the largest church in Christendom. The church had seven towers. Although large parts of the structure were destroyed, the remaining relics are absolutely remarkable and make a visit to Cluny an unforgettable experience!
