Hiking
The ruins of this church built in the 11th century by the Cluniacs are unusual. Located on a height, so that it can be seen from a long distance, the church was modified in the Middle Ages to be fortified following the request of the monks who wanted more protection.
The lord of Brancion authorized the work in 1214. It therefore ended up being remodeled into a keep in the 13th century.
You can evolve in these ruins and thus travel a little in time.

To the right in front of the ruins there are seats on a wall, which invite you to take a break in the shade. The ruin itself is worth visiting and worth exploring.
