The town of Cluny was based on the Benedictine monastery (Cluniac Abbey), founded in 910. The abbey was the starting point and center of the Cluniac reform at the beginning of the 10th century. Cluny reached its peak membership at the beginning of the 12th century with approximately 400 monks. The last abbey church (Cluniac 3) was the world's largest Romanesque basilica and, until the construction of today's St. Peter's Basilica in Rome, the largest church in Christendom. The church had seven towers. Although large parts of the building were destroyed, the remaining relics are absolutely remarkable and make a visit to Cluny an unforgettable experience!

Nice view roads quiet

A 1600m tunnel, an experience to be had!

In the middle of the vineyards, on a rocky outcrop, stands this impressive Burgundy castle with a 1000-year history. The castle's property is made up of small vineyard plots that are cultivated organically. You can taste our wines: Pouilly-Fuissé, Saint-Véran, Mâcon-Pierreclos and Bourgogne rouge Pinot noir, as well as Burgundy specialties (ratafia, creme de pêche de vigne and creme de cassis) in the shop or in our wine cellars.

The Tunnel du Bois Clair is a former railway tunnel and at 1.6 km the longest tunnel in France now open to a greenway. It takes 4 to 6 minutes to cross by bike, 6 to 10 minutes on rollerblades and 15 to 20 minutes on foot, horse riders are not allowed to pass. The temperature is around 11 °C. There is a lighting system, but it is best to bring extra lighting on your bike... As this tunnel is home to protected species of bats, it is closed during hibernation (from October to April). In this case, a route is offered to bypass the tunnel, taking the circular trail n°14 (4 km, level: expert). A picnic area is located above the tunnel if you are coming via Cluny.

On the greenway of Southern Burgundy, you can see the pretty castle of Berzé-le-Châtel at this point. It is the most important and best-preserved fortress in Burgundy. You can clearly see its various walls and towers rising up in the landscape.

Please note that the Bois Clair tunnel has closing periods: https://www.cluny-tourisme.com/visites-incontournables/le-tunnel-du-bois-clair/#ouverture If it is closed you will have to go through the Bois Clair pass which has the same name but not the same height difference. Good luck!

This tunnel is impressive in its length!
