Tips

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.

Saint Martin, to whom this church is consecrated, is - next to Saint Nicholas - probably one of the most popular saints of all. The memorial day of the former officer in the Roman army is November 11th. On the night after the famous “coat sharing”, when he surrendered half his army cloak to a freezing beggar, Jesus Christ appears to him in a dream. He then converted to Christianity and was later - initially against his will - elected Bishop of Tours (France).
