Chagny

Chagny is a small town in the Saône-et-Loire department at a crossroads. It is located slightly south of the slopes of the famous prestigious white wines of Burgundy, Chassagne-Montrachet and Puligny-Montrachet.It is crossed by the Canal du Center and is bordered by La Dheune. A brickyard factory once powered the village economy. It is La Meuloise, a great starred restaurant that contributes to its prestige today.Every Sunday, the streets of the center of Chagny come alive: colors, scents, local products and the cries of friendly merchants... come and stroll along the wide alleys lined with tasty stalls. This market is labeled Marché de France and Saveurs et savoir-faire de Bourgogne.

The enchanting town has always been a stopover point for travellers. The Hospitaller Hospital at Château Bellecroix bears witness to this, as does the former National Road 6, the Canal du Center and the "Voie Verte", a former railway line which today leads cyclists and hikers to Chagny. Gourmets stop at the three-star Lameloise restaurant or stroll through the lively and well-stocked weekly market on Sundays.
