モンタニー＝シュル＝グロスンのおすすめツーリングルート

クリュニーの町は、910年に設立されたベネディクト会修道院（クリュニー修道院）に隣接して発展しました。この修道院は、10世紀初頭のクリュニー改革の発祥地であり中心地でした。クリュニーは、12世紀初頭に約400人の修道士を擁して最盛期を迎えました。 最後の修道院教会（クリュニー3）は、世界最大のロマネスク様式のバシリカであり、現在のローマのサン・ピエトロ大聖堂が建設されるまで、キリスト教世界最大の教会でした。この教会には7つの塔がありました。 建造物の大部分は破壊されましたが、残された遺構は絶対に注目に値するものであり、クリュニーへの訪問を忘れられない体験にしてくれます！

The town of Cluny was based on the Benedictine monastery (Cluniac Abbey), founded in 910. The abbey was the starting point and center of the Cluniac reform at the beginning of the 10th century. Cluny reached its peak membership at the beginning of the 12th century with approximately 400 monks. The last abbey church (Cluniac 3) was the world's largest Romanesque basilica and, until the construction of today's St. Peter's Basilica in Rome, the largest church in Christendom. The church had seven towers. Although large parts of the building were destroyed, the remaining relics are absolutely remarkable and make a visit to Cluny an unforgettable experience!

The Tunnel du Bois Clair is a former railway tunnel and at 1.6 km the longest tunnel in France now open to a greenway. It takes 4 to 6 minutes to cross by bike, 6 to 10 minutes on rollerblades and 15 to 20 minutes on foot, horse riders are not allowed to pass. The temperature is around 11 °C. There is a lighting system, but it is best to bring extra lighting on your bike... As this tunnel is home to protected species of bats, it is closed during hibernation (from October to April). In this case, a route is offered to bypass the tunnel, taking the circular trail n°14 (4 km, level: expert). A picnic area is located above the tunnel if you are coming via Cluny.

Founded in 910, Cluny Abbey was a powerful centre of the Benedictine order and influenced the spiritual and cultural life of all of Europe at its height. Today, although much of the abbey was destroyed during the French Revolution, you can still explore the remaining parts of the vast complex, including the majestic bell tower and restored cloister.

On the greenway of Southern Burgundy, you can see the pretty castle of Berzé-le-Châtel at this point. It is the most important and best-preserved fortress in Burgundy. You can clearly see its various walls and towers rising up in the landscape.
