Tips from the Community
The Tour des Fromages is a preserved defensive tower from the 11th century, which originally belonged to the ramparts of the powerful Abbey of Cluny. In the Middle Ages, the structure was still called Tour des Fèves (Bean Tower), as supplies were stored there. It got its current, curious name in the 19th century because a merchant used the tower to dry her homemade cheeses. Today, the tower is a popular attraction. Visitors can climb the 120 steps to the top. From up there, you have a beautiful 360-degree panoramic view over the entire medieval monastic city and the surrounding Burgundy landscape. Access to the tower is directly through the local Cluny tourist office.

The Halle ronde (the "round hall") in the French municipality of Givry was built between 1825 and 1830. It was designed by the regionally known architect Lazare Narjoux. It originally served as a grain hall (Halle au blé) to supply the surrounding mills and the population with grain. Due to its rare, circular design, the market hall has been classified as a historic monument since 1931.
