Now it’s off to Beaune or the vineyards!

Beautiful Romanesque church in a small picturesque village.

In the small village of Meursault in Burgundy there is a particularly fascinating church dedicated to Saint Nicholas. This building is characterized by its architecture, which combines Romanesque and Gothic styles, thus reflecting centuries of history and art. Originally, Romanesque chapels stood on its site, but over the centuries it was destroyed and rebuilt several times, giving it the appearance we see today. One of the most significant events was its renovation in the Gothic style in the late 15th century under the leadership of the abbots of the Abbey of Cluny. Its imposing 57-meter-high stone bell tower, decorated with elegant pinnacles and housing three ancient bells, stands out. In the 19th century, the addition of three naves transformed the building into a real basilica. Inside there is a Mutin & Cavaille-Coll organ from 1927, which embellishes the structure with its melodies. A work that combines stories of devotion and art, a centuries-old witness to change and continuity.

Very famous wine village on the Route des Grands Crus Bourgogne.

The church of St-Cyr-Ste-Julitte in Volnay was built in the 14th century. The church is listed as a "monument historique".

Beautiful church, along many hectares of wine growing area. Definitely worth a visit

Romanesque church in the center of Meursault right next to the town hall square. Worth seeing!

From this square (place de la mairie) you have a wonderful view over the renowned vineyards of Volnay. Benches under trees are available for a shady rest.
