シャヴァンヌ＝シュル＝レ・スーズのおすすめライド

You must take the time to visit the abbey, its crypt and especially its cloister

The patronage of this church, "Notre-Dame-de-l'Assomption," refers to one of the many memorial days or feast days in honor of the Mother of God, Mary. This dates back to the feast of her bodily assumption into heaven. The (Catholic) church celebrates this feast every year on August 15th. In Orthodox churches, the feast is called the "Dormition of the Virgin Mary." In rural areas with a predominantly Catholic population, it used to be customary for the population to collect bundles of herbs on this special day and to bless them in a festive service. In isolated cases, this old custom has survived to the present day.

Beautiful quiet route from camping au rives du soleil in pont de vaux

Very flat, easy, although a little monotonous...

Watching the locks is always interesting.

The reserve offers a rather astonishing landscape for the region since it includes sand dunes that are 5,000 years old. A stone's throw from the sand, the peat bogs spread over more than five hectares, in a waterlogged setting. A stone's throw away, the Fouget pond and its marshland also constitute a refuge for fauna and flora to be discovered by taking the dedicated path.

From this passage of the Voie Bleue, we have a lovely view of the Saône. Depending on the weather, the color of the water alternates between blue and green.

The Saint-Laurent bridge spans the Saône. It has twelve stone arches and has retained its post-World War II appearance. It is classified as a historic monument.
