Along the approximately 400-meter-long Grande Rue, 157 arcades stretch, most of which date back to the 15th century. These arcades not only provide protection from the elements but also lend the street its distinctive charm. The houses above them present a variety of architectural styles, from medieval half-timbering to Renaissance facades with decorative elements such as niches and medallions. Over the centuries, particularly between the 17th and 19th centuries, many of these buildings were expanded or remodeled, but the arcade structure was always preserved.

The church's origins date back to 878, when King Louis the Stammerer granted the priory of Louhans to the Abbey of Saint-Philibert de Tournus. The current structure was built after a devastating fire in 1370 that destroyed the town and the church. Reconstruction began in 1492 in the Gothic style, with the church being built of red brick with stone buttresses. In the 18th century, the Notre-Dame Chapel was added, creating the present appearance of two adjoining buildings.

Louhans, whose real name is Louhans-Châteaurenaud, hosts one of the largest poultry markets in France every Monday. It is the success of Bresse chicken which undoubtedly earned it this notoriety. Its main street is proud of its numerous shopping arcades, but Louhans is also a very lively town which offers a well-stocked cultural season each year with one show per month.

The Bresse route, which follows a former railway line converted into a cycle path, is accessible to all cyclists. The Bresse region is known, among other things, for its rural landscapes, its unspoiled countryside, its pretty villages, and its famous white chickens with blue feet.
