Around

Bresse, Dombes, Mâconnais and Beaujolais are very close and yet so different. A few kilometers away, the landscapes, the history and the sites are all a change of scenery. But hey, THE main reason why we stay here is obviously to visit Beaujolais, discover its unspoiled landscapes of hills that alternate between vineyards and woods, discover the stone villages in the immediate surroundings, take a tour of the winegrowers. (with moderation ! )
