Located over the Saône River between Verjux and Gergy, the bridge was inaugurated in 1890. This elegant stone structure was financed by Marguerite Boucicaut. Destroyed in 1944, it was rebuilt in 1957 with a metal deck while retaining its original decorative bollards.

In front of this small sacred monument, I would like to share the following thought with the viewer: "What is new and beautiful for me is the realization that I find God in wonder! I am often pleasantly surprised by something special that I cannot explain, something that simply leaves me standing in awe. And I can be amazed by so many good and special things if I am attentive and do not take things for granted. I can be amazed by creation, by people, by encounters, by circumstances, and by much more that arises in everyday life. For me, wonder is increasingly a visible sign and feeling of God's existence, for which I am deeply grateful." (Christiane Völkel)

The church of Saint-Laurent de Rully is located on the hill that extends to the castle and overlooks the village, whose houses are grouped at its feet along the river Thalie. As early as 920, Hervé de Vergy, appointed bishop of Autun, donated his villa Ruiliacum with the church to his chapter of Saint-Nazaire in his will. A recognition of dues to the hospital house of Bellecroix dated 1263 states that the church was already in its current location. The transept and choir were rebuilt in the first half of the 15th century and the choir was enlarged to its current size in 1749. After the south wall of the nave collapsed in 1849, the city authorities took advantage of the reconstruction work to extend the nave by 7 meters and renew the façade in the neo-Gothic style that we know today. Finally, in 1911, the bell tower and choir were raised.

This beautiful ensemble has its origins at the end of the 12th century. It underwent significant transformations during the 15th century, notably to make it habitable. The castle is open to visits without appointment in July and August (closed on Mondays). Outside of this period, only planned group visits are possible. The estate also offers tastings and a treasure map to create with the family.

Worth seeing church in Rully. It dates back to the 14th century.

The town owes its name to a Gallo-Roman temple dedicated to Mercury. With around 1,300 inhabitants, Mercurey has preserved a quality historical heritage. The village owes its wealth to viticulture and is still a popular stopover for oenophiles and hikers.

This is the image we have of a castle: battlements, towers and curtain walls. What a contrast to the vines stretching out in front of the chateau, laden with Chardonnay grapes.
