Brancion

Just 15 minutes from the Greuze **** hotel is Brancion.

The medieval site of Brancion , nestled on the heights of Burgundy, is a true historical gem that transports you to the heart of the Middle Ages. Located a few kilometers from Tournus, Brancion is a remarkably preserved fortified village, offering breathtaking views of the surrounding countryside and the region's rolling vineyards. This village, once an important seigneurial stronghold, invites you to stroll through its cobbled streets where time seems to have stood still.

The village’s centrepiece, the Château de Brancion , is an impressive 12th-century fortress that has retained much of its original structure. A visit to the ramparts offers breathtaking panoramic views, as well as historic rooms that bear witness to medieval life. Nearby, the Église Saint-Pierre de Brancion, another treasure, is a magnificent example of Burgundian Romanesque art. Its location, overlooking valleys and fields, offers a peaceful and contemplative atmosphere, ideal for history and heritage lovers.

While exploring Brancion, you can also discover the medieval covered market, where important fairs for the region were once held. The village, today a haven of peace, is also an excellent starting point for hikes offering magnificent landscapes and a total immersion in nature.

After a day of exploring the medieval site of Brancion, what could be better than relaxing in the spa at Demeures & Châteaux Hôtel de Greuze ****. This place of relaxation, with its hammam, jacuzzi, and sauna, is the ideal place to end an enriching day in Burgundy, recharging your batteries in an elegant and soothing setting.
