サン・ニジエ・ル・デゼール周辺のアトラクション＆必見スポット - トップ18

A beautiful 19th-century Cistercian abbey built in a remarkable brick style. Don't hesitate to make a short detour to see it. The church and atrium are free to visit. It is closed on Tuesdays. A local produce shop is located at the entrance to the abbey, featuring cheeses and apple products made on the abbey farm—a great way to recharge your batteries!

Dombes, a land of a thousand ponds, is a vast freshwater fish-farming area. This land of ancestral traditions, particularly pond fishing, is home to exceptional flora and fauna in a pristine natural setting.

Lovely place with direct cheese sales! The surrounding roads are pleasant.

Fortified house dating from the 14th century. Curious beveled shape of the cylindrical tower, topped during the Revolution.

Notre-Dame des Dombes Abbey, founded in the 1860s by the Cistercians. Worth the detour. Free visit to the church.

A quiet road through ponds and fields. The road surface is a little rough, but with wider gravel tires it's fine.

The Saint-Pierre du Plantay church is Romanesque in style. In 2008, it was added to the list of historic monuments.

Bouligneux castle is a typical example of fortified houses built in the Dombes and Bugey regions in the 14th century. During the revolution it was almost demolished, but the local municipality saved it and used it as a farm. The fortified tower was a compromise, however, and it was reduced by one storey, hence the displaced shape of the tower's roof.
