Small, lively village

Very pretty street

The church's origins date back to 878, when King Louis the Stammerer granted the priory of Louhans to the Abbey of Saint-Philibert de Tournus. The current structure was built after a devastating fire in 1370 that destroyed the town and the church. Reconstruction began in 1492 in the Gothic style, with the church being built of red brick with stone buttresses. In the 18th century, the Notre-Dame Chapel was added, creating the present appearance of two adjoining buildings.

In the village of Saint-Germain-du-Bois, you'll find several restaurants, bakeries, pharmacies, and a shopping center. There are even charging stations for electric cars. The village is a 7-minute drive from the Meix Gagnard guesthouse.

A beautiful lake with lots of frogs and ducks. The path around the lake is overgrown with 1m-high grass in May. A shame! The Étang Philippe lake next door is hidden behind the greenery. You can choose your way back either via the gravel path or the local road.

Unfortunately, the interior is not so well preserved or has been heavily used by exhibitions. It seems a bit cluttered. The exhibitions about the region are interesting, though. Two submachine guns have also been preserved, which England dropped in large numbers from the air for the benefit of the Resistance during WWII.

The castle is very impressive, with double moat, garden and great layout. Worth a detour!!
