Magnificent abbey at the origin of that of Cluny

Small castle 🏰 but privately used.

Located in the heart of the Petite Montagne, the village of Arinthod reveals beautiful architecture. Its triangular square lined with arcades and decorated with a fountain dates from 1750. The atmosphere is pleasant, especially on Saturday morning, market day.

This small, remote village hosted a large religious community, including the Benedictines of Gigny from 974 to 1359.

The Chanelet belvedere or Gizia cross belvedere offers superb views of the valley, the Bresse plain, and even the Côte-d'Or on a clear day.

Built on a rocky promontory at an altitude of 482 meters, the castle dates from the 12th century. The scene of numerous sieges during the French invasions, it was pillaged and then largely destroyed at the end of the 18th century. Purchased in 1980 by a lover of the site, Marcel Duthion, the building was completely restored over around fifteen years to regain its original silhouette.

Châtel is intimately linked to the history of the Via Cluny paths. This quiet little village has housed a large religious community. Marked by the presence of the Benedictines of Gigny from 974 to 1359, Manassès III de Coligny made Châtel a Benedictine priory linked to the abbey of Gigny. The abbey of Cluny then named "the prior of Châtel", while the church of Saint-Etienne de Châtel became the seat of a vast parish.
