Now it’s off to Beaune or the vineyards!

Picturesque town with Château de Couches, Marguerite de Bourgogne, hiking and mountain bike trails, wash house circuit, tennis and numerous events...

In the small village of Meursault in Burgundy there is a particularly fascinating church dedicated to Saint Nicholas. This building is characterized by its architecture, which combines Romanesque and Gothic styles, thus reflecting centuries of history and art. Originally, Romanesque chapels stood on its site, but over the centuries it was destroyed and rebuilt several times, giving it the appearance we see today. One of the most significant events was its renovation in the Gothic style in the late 15th century under the leadership of the abbots of the Abbey of Cluny. Its imposing 57-meter-high stone bell tower, decorated with elegant pinnacles and housing three ancient bells, stands out. In the 19th century, the addition of three naves transformed the building into a real basilica. Inside there is a Mutin & Cavaille-Coll organ from 1927, which embellishes the structure with its melodies. A work that combines stories of devotion and art, a centuries-old witness to change and continuity.

There is still something going on here - at least the mural signals that not everything is "abandoned" here.

It is always pleasant to ride among the vineyards. And on small, quiet roads like this one, the pleasure is always greater.

Through the vineyards of Santenay and Nolay on an old railway line. Very easy to drive

AR towards the site which left me in confusion and doubt under 28°C

Beautiful church, along many hectares of wine growing area. Definitely worth a visit
