Sainte-Marie-Madeleine Church

Highlight • Other

This small and simple place of worship is the old village church of Taize. Here, in this tiny hamlet, the founder of the Taize community, Frere Roger, found the right place for his brotherhood, which settled here. His idea of reconciliation between peoples and between denominations became a – surprisingly strong – magnet that has drawn many mostly young people here for decades. Even though a much larger "Church of Reconciliation" was later built in the neighborhood for reasons of space, in which the members of the Taize community and their visitors gather to pray day after day, here in the simple village church, Frere Roger, the Reconciler, has his assassination (2005) found his final resting place.

Cormatin Castle

Highlight • Castle

This castle from the beginning of the 17th century can be visited, both for its gardens and for its interior. You will notably discover a monumental stone staircase and a well-preserved Louis XIII apartment. Outside, a large boxwood labyrinth, a green theater, ponds and flower beds will delight young and old alike.

Cormatin Castle

Highlight • Castle

Very beautiful 17th century chateau to visit, between gardens and moats. Nearby, also a body of water with facilities to spend the day, or the night if you are in a bivouac!

Chapaize Church

Highlight • Religious Site

The former priory church of Saint-Martin is one of the most beautiful churches in Burgundy. It stands in the middle of the rural village of Chapaize, with only a few houses and farms, about 15 kilometers west of Tournus (on the Saône) and about 15 kilometers north of Cluny, in the hilly countryside of the Charollais and northern Mâconnais.

The early Romanesque church is worth seeing for its age and simple beauty, but it is famous for its historical and artistic significance, which is particularly related to the nearby Abbey of Cluny.

She is particularly impressed by her harmonious architecture, from which stands the surprisingly high bell tower, which has Lombard influences. Stonemasons from the northern Italian region around Milan were famous throughout Europe at the turn of the millennium.

Sercy Castle

Highlight • Castle

The castle has a Romanesque chapel and is one of the best preserved medieval castles in the region. Its owner, Claude Perroy de La Foretille, was one of the last to be guillotined in 1793. Subsequently, the castle remained in the same family when Perroy's granddaughter, who was guillotined, married.

Church of Notre-Dame-de-la-Nativité in Malay

Highlight • Other

This church is definitely worth a short detour from Voie Verte.
It is a Romanesque building that was built mainly in the 11th and 12th centuries. In 1160 she was one of the deaneries of the nearby Cluny monastery.
