The best walks and hikes around Boyer

The building is the historic Logis de la Tête Noire. It is located at the street corner of Rue de la République and Place Carnot and is the last completely preserved half-timbered house (maison à pan de bois) in all of Tournus. It is characterized by its ornate, overhanging wooden structures from the 14th to 16th centuries. In the 14th century, the house belonged to a wealthy merchant. In 1596, it was rented to an innkeeper who gave it the name "Tête Noire" (Black Head) - at that time a very popular name for inns that were meant to evoke distant lands. Later, the post office and the tourist office, among others, moved in here.

Whoever passes through the fortified gate undertakes a real journey through time through 1000 years of French architecture and knight history.

The average gradient is 7.55%, with peak sections of up to 14%. The path junction leads to various hiking trails and gravel paths through the wooded and wine-rich hilly landscape of the Mâconnais.
