ヴェルピリエール＝シュル＝オウルズ周辺のアトラクション＆必見スポット - トップ19

The chapel of Sainte Beline was built in the 15th century. The chapel is surrounded by lush greenery which invites relaxation and contemplation. You can also admire the fountain and the Calvary built by Abbot Jactat, who restored the chapel and revived the cult of Saint Beline in the 1920s.

This neo-Gothic church was built in the 19th century to replace the old Romanesque church demolished in 1855. You can admire the stained glass windows and the organ which were donated by the family of Auguste Hériot, a famous businessman and politician. The church is also located in the village of Essoyes, where the painter Pierre-Auguste Renoir spent many summers and painted some of his most famous works.

This house, called "la Maison des Renoir", is a charming bourgeois residence typical of the region, surrounded by a picturesque landscape of vineyards and hills. Renoir often used the surroundings of the house as a backdrop for his paintings. Today it is open to the public as a museum.

The church of Essoyes is particularly known for its magnificent stained glass windows which date from the 16th century. These are renowned for their bright colors and tell biblical stories. This church also houses the tomb of Auguste Renoir, the famous French impressionist painter.

Great stop for a glass of fizz!

A very beautiful place that I've already passed twice on my long tours through France. The third time, I'll be staying longer.

Nice bars and restaurants on the Ource.
