In the middle of the vineyards, on a rocky outcrop, stands this impressive Burgundy castle with a 1000-year history. The castle's property is made up of small vineyard plots that are cultivated organically. You can taste our wines: Pouilly-Fuissé, Saint-Véran, Mâcon-Pierreclos and Bourgogne rouge Pinot noir, as well as Burgundy specialties (ratafia, creme de pêche de vigne and creme de cassis) in the shop or in our wine cellars.

Berzé is a family-owned castle, built by the ancestors of the current owners to protect the Abbey of Cluny. It dominates a magnificent panorama over the vineyards of the Solutré valley. Built between the 11th and 15th centuries around its Carolingian chapel, the castle retains its entire defensive system, thirteen towers including two keep, its impressive entrance castle and its medieval halls. This makes it the largest and best preserved fortress in Burgundy. The castle is made up of three ring walls. Each houses various gardens, orchards and vegetable gardens, as well as a French garden with box trees, statues, hornbeams and large yews cut like chess pieces. From the terraces, there is a magnificent view of the Lamartinien valley with its vineyards in the background.

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.

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.
