Beautiful landmark

Small castle 🏰 but privately used.

Nestled at the foot of Revermont, the village owes its origin to its castle dating from the 12th century, the ruins of which are still visible. Located on land of wine appellations, we owe it Côtes du Jura, Crémant du Jura, Franche-Comté and Macvin du Jura.

This small, remote village hosted a large religious community, including the Benedictines of Gigny from 974 to 1359.

The Chanelet belvedere or Gizia cross belvedere offers superb views of the valley, the Bresse plain, and even the Côte-d'Or on a clear day.

Perched between Bresse and Revermont, this small village is home to the eponymous castle. Dating from the 12th century, the building dominates the Bresse plain from its rocky promontory located at an altitude of 470 meters. Largely in ruins, it can be visited free of charge all year round.

Built on a rocky promontory at an altitude of 482 meters, the castle dates from the 12th century. The scene of numerous sieges during the French invasions, it was pillaged and then largely destroyed at the end of the 18th century. Purchased in 1980 by a lover of the site, Marcel Duthion, the building was completely restored over around fifteen years to regain its original silhouette.

Châtel is intimately linked to the history of the Via Cluny paths. This quiet little village has housed a large religious community. Marked by the presence of the Benedictines of Gigny from 974 to 1359, Manassès III de Coligny made Châtel a Benedictine priory linked to the abbey of Gigny. The abbey of Cluny then named "the prior of Châtel", while the church of Saint-Etienne de Châtel became the seat of a vast parish.
