ラ・シャルメ周辺のアトラクション＆必見スポット - トップ20

This spot is interesting not only for the view that can be enjoyed. For here, the hiker or walker encounters not just a simple wayside cross, but a complete crucifixion group has been erected in this exposed location: the white body of the crucified Christ stands out clearly against the brown tone of the crossbeams. In front of it, three other figures surround the incarnate Son of God. Both the cross and these figures stand individually on a rocky pedestal, probably made of granite. According to the biblical accounts of the execution of Jesus of Nazareth, the viewer can recognize Mary, the mother of Jesus, and the beloved disciple John, who, according to the gospel text, persevered beneath the cross. Directly opposite the cross is the third figure, depicted kneeling.

The whole city center is worth a visit

Rue du Chatelet is a pretty pedestrian street in the center of Chalon-sur-Saône. A beautiful place to stroll through the architectural heritage of the city.

Central square!! Chalon-sur-Saône [ʃa.lɔ̃.syʁ.soːn] is a French town in the Saône-et-Loire department in the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region. With 45,031 inhabitants (as of January 1, 2021)[1], it is the largest town in the department, but not its administrative seat, but merely the seat of a sub-prefecture. After Dijon, Chalon is the second largest city in Burgundy. The inhabitants are called Chalonnais and Chalonnaises. The municipality received the "Four Flowers" award in 2022, which is awarded by the Conseil national des villes et villages fleuris (CNVVF) as part of the annual competition for flower-decorated towns and villages.[2]

DUE TO CONSTRUCTION WORKS, THE CATHEDRAL IS CURRENTLY CLOSED. Built from 1090 in the Romanesque style, the cathedral is characterized by a Gothic elevation and a "neo-Gothic" façade. It is located in an old district of half-timbered houses. To discover: its Romanesque capitals, its Brussels tapestry from 1510, a 16th century stained glass window. A tactile model is available to the blind or visually impaired public. A formula sums up the interior of the cathedral: a Gothic transplant on a Romanesque base. Because although the existence of a cathedral in Chalon-sur-Saône is already attested in the 5th century, the current building was built from the 12th century, when Romanesque art was at its peak. Three construction sites are attested in the Romanesque period: the choir chapels, the choir, the transept, the side aisles and the walls of the nave are built. Four construction phases can be identified in the Gothic period: the apse and the roof of the choir are rebuilt (construction of a cross vault in seven parts resting on the pillars of the Romanesque arcades on the ground floor), as well as the crossing of the transept; the chapter house is built, all around 1230; the nave is completed and covered with pointed arches (1310-1429). In the 15th and 16th centuries, chapels with Gothic cloisters are built in the side aisles, in response to the development of private worship. This is the period of the murals of the Glorification of the Virgin Mary (1450-1475) in the Lamoureux Chapel, the Flemish tapestry of the Eucharist (1510) and the grisaille and silver-yellow stained glass window of the Virgin of the Apocalypse (1520), all of which are listed as historical monuments.

Pretty impressive church, next to the Hotel de Ville.
