The 19th-century church (consecrated in 1853) has the unique feature of having two bell towers. Legend has it that the builders wanted to erect a single bell tower, which would have been taller than that of Saint-Bénigne Cathedral in Dijon. The diocese rejected this, so the builders opted for two bell towers, each 52 meters high. There are only seven other examples of this model left in France. Inside are some beautiful pieces of religious furniture, including the superbly carved pulpit. Another peculiarity is that there are no chairs, but rather numbered oak pews, which are undoubtedly original. If you have a good eye, you can see a statue in the keystone of the choir. (By Jean Michel Dhainaut; many thanks for this!)

The Church of Saint Maurice was built between 1834 and 1839 according to plans by the Dijon architect Fénéon-Damotte. It follows the traditions of neoclassical churches built in the first half of the 19th century. A façade bell tower is preceded by a peristyle with a pediment supported by four Doric columns. The church has the unique feature of being built on submerged oak trees, as it is actually located in the old branch of the Saône, which was diverted.

Very pretty oak to see

True, but I still uploaded the church.

A good place to stay overnight if you can find a free room.

A majestic oak tree with a trunk whose circumference is estimated at 4 meters.

The town offers everything you need for a pleasant break: shops, refreshments at the bars, a safe swimming area at the beach, a charming marina, playgrounds for children, and a lovely view of the Saône.

Beautiful castle in a typical sleepy French village.
