Ferme Sainte-Marie, located in the commune of Saint-Étienne-la-Varenne, is a place rich in history and heritage. Perched on the heights, it offers a splendid view of the surrounding valleys, particularly those of Beaujolais. This estate originally belonged to the lords of Beaujeu, an influential medieval lineage. Over the centuries, the farm changed hands, and in 1680, François de la Chaise acquired it, keeping it in his family for several generations. Today, Ferme Sainte-Marie is also known for its leisure activities, such as hiking. Several trails allow you to discover the landscapes while appreciating the local fauna and flora. A popular hike starts from the center of the village of Saint-Étienne-la-Varenne, going up to the farm via viewpoints such as the Trou du Loup. These hikes offer an excellent way to explore nature while learning about local history and agricultural traditions. The farm also played a role during the Second World War, with resistance fighters carrying out actions there, including ambushes against the occupying forces. This historical connection reinforces the importance of Ferme Sainte-Marie as a place of remembrance in the context of Saint-Étienne-la-Varenne. For visitors, it is a place of natural beauty and a historic site to explore, combining history, nature and culture.
