Never heard of this artist until visting Namur. Unexpected, but interesting subject matter. Gallery offered good value. I'm not a serious art fan, more casual/opportunistic, but pleased to add this artist to the list of those I have seen. If you have any interest in art galleries, this is highly recommended.

A really good museum for art lovers. Great permanent exhibition of works by Felicien Rops. Nicely exhibited with lighting that goes off when there’s no one in the room. The temporary exhibit of work called ‘Hommage a Pan’ was amazing. Beautiful large scale pen and ink drawings. Such detail. Staff very friendly. The appropriate member of staff jumped in to speak English to us.

Felicien Rops is a well known artist for picturing the ladies of the 'houses of ill repute' and a criticaster during his years as a student. But his pendrawings of ordinary people and paintings really shows his talent as well. Due to renovations of the museum of Elsene, part of the impressionist collection can be viewed as well...and even if the permanent collection is nice, this temporary exhibition makes it top.

Very interesting museum with famous arts. It's possible to visit it for free with Pass musées of Belgium.

Lovely museum covering the diversity of the work of Rops, not very large but charming. The painter is well known for his symbolic works and his nudes, but he also produced satirical etchings. Very friendly reception.

The outside of this museum is striking and worth a pass by. The inside houses many sketches and studies for larger works. I found the giant sketch for "British Empire panels" to be very interesting in it's detail and scale.

Excellent museum of the fin de siècle artist Félicien Rops. I had never heard of him before. Talented and for me surprisingly scandalous for the era.

Lovely place to go on a day and family trip. The place is enormous. There is plenty of things to do. You could take the telepherique, eat in the top hill restaurant, go hiking, taking photos of Namur from the top, take the touristic train, and more. You can also park in different stages of the citadel and for free.

Quality family walk here. Views are stunning. We drove to the top to go to the kids play park which is about 10-15 mins away from the Citadelle, so that helped with children and walking up a hill. Worth the visit and the views. Totally recommend it.

Fantastic walking area in the former fort of Namur city. Entrance to the for and grounds is free, but the museum and underground tours require a fee. It's not really that far to climb, just steep. In return you get wonderful views of the city in the north bank. If you don't fee like climbing, get the Gondola. Tickets are one way or return. One way (up) is fine in my humble opinion.

Interesting. Great view over the city of Namur. We had our lunch on the grass. We did not have enough time to do the paid visits. They need to increase the number of parking spots. It was grossly inadequate and we were in late May. It would also be nice to have more historical exhibit available for free.

Very nice place. Can recommend the Totemus game. Fun and interactive way of discovering the citadelle and its history. The panorama has a very nice terrace, overlooking the Namur skyline.

I suggest taking the telepherique (gondola 🚠🚡) on the way up and walk down. There's a large building next to the gondolas with a lot of artwork in it. Some exhibits you have to pay for (the VR headsets for some of the artwork). I wish there was a tour because I had no idea what I was looking at or why the citadel was there. Plenty of places to eat (there's a sort of food court building) below the walking tunnel.

We bought the full pass online to see the visitor center, the underground galeries and the little train ride. Very complete visit, you leave the citadelle knowing a bit more about Namur and Belgium history. Great tour guide! (Unfortunally I dont recall his name)

You can walk up the steps to the top but there’s also a cable car which is worth taking. The view from the upper rampart is extensive, over the whole city of Dinant. The structure of the fort is interesting but the displays are lacking. There is also a cafe at the top where you can get minimal food & drink

Wonderful place to visit. Amazing views over the whole of Dinant, and across the Meuse valley. Nice cafe at the top with polite staff and nice food. Beer on tap! The Citadelle is really interesting, with polite staff, interactive history pads are available use and worth it. History covered through the ages. The World War exhibition is very thought provoking and tells a sad tale. Go up on the fenicular if possible, it’s worth the ride up and down. It only takes a few minutes with amazing views of the church below. Note: there is a section of the exhibition after the ‘bunkers’ that is very sensory challenging! There are not enough signs to warn people. I have no problems with balance, but found this area challenging. Fun and funny but high potential falls risk! Not even sure what it was about 🫣

One of the best small museums we've been to, with a beautiful panoramic view of the city of Dinant. The citadel museum uses simple but effective tablet technology to enhance visitors' understanding of the history of the citadel and city. The exhibit about WWI, using a blend of visual, auditory and sensory stimuli, was also very moving. Both kids and adults enjoyed the visit and the "treasure hunt". We chose the entrance ticket that included the short cruise on the Meuse river and it was very nice. Fyi, we went here on the 2nd week of November and the cable car was not available and it won't be available for a few months, so we assume the cable car doesn't run in fall/winter. The 408 stair steps with railing are doable for kids and adults with moderate physical ability. There's a nice playground in the courtyard at the very end of the self-guided tour. The trip to Dinant was impromptu but we're so glad we did it. It took avout 2 hours from Brussels to Dinant by train and bus.

it is a gorgeous town! visited in September. the price of 14 euros to visit the fortress and the cable car included is acceptable... everything is beautiful from the landscapes and what you can see in the fortress... I highly recommend it! I think it is among the most beautiful places in Belgium.

A small museum, but such a nice surprise! The history is explained in a really clear, easy-to-follow storyline, and the exhibitions are well done. It’s a quick visit, but you actually learn a lot and walk out feeling like you have just stepped out from the past.

The augmented reality tour, included in the €14 price, makes the visit more enjoyable, especially for children. On that day, the cable car was closed. To avoid climbing the 408 steps, you can access the citadel via the parking at 1 Chemin de la Citadelle, which is free and has plenty of spaces.

The citadel is located on top of a cliff which overlooks the city, making it a prime structure for defense. In the present day, this means it’s a great place to get some incredible views of Dinant. There is a museum inside which goes in depth on the significance of the citadel during war time. It was put together really well, the town has an amazing history. Also, there is a trolley you can ride up and down the cliffside! There is also a very steep set of stairs which will definitely test your stamina. Tickets were about 14€ for adults.

A unique bridge uses saxophones to pay tribute to two great men and countries. Built in 2010, the bridge is adorned with saxophones. Painted in unique colors, one saxophone takes on the appearance of a basketball, another resembles a mermaid, while another depicts a castle and a dragon. Each saxophone is placed in front of its respective flag, paying homage to the country it represents. That’s because the Belgian city of Dinant is where Adolphe Sax – the inventor of the saxophone – was born. In 1841, Sax invented the saxophone, which was one of many instruments he would influence or create in his heyday. His first major invention was to improve the design of the bass clarinet. Of course, the Charles de Gaulle Bridge also pays homage to the French general it is named after, who led the French resistance against Nazi Germany in the 1940s (as a junior officer at the time). Today, Belgium’s Charles de Gaulle Bridge remains a colorful and playful way to pay tribute to two great men of the past and to the unity of the European Union. The Charles de Gaulle Saxophone Bridge is located in the city of Dinant in Belgium. The bridge is located at Rue de la Gare, near the Gare de Dinant train station next to the Meuse River.

Great place for lunch - many riverside cafes and interesting things to see.

A fun bridge full of Saxophones dedicated to the invention of the saxophone by aldolphe in the town of Dinant . Each of the saxophone’s are designed but a certain country

I can't believe I almost didn't see the view as I drove past on my way to the train station.

A great tourist attraction on top of the Meuse river close to Citadel of Dinant connected via a cable car. The bridge has multiple saxophone representing countries. History says the saxophones were set out along the bridge the placement in a tribute to the countries of the European Union in 2010. It was in that year when it was celebrated here the Europe Sax and when it was decided that each saxophone would represent to a European country.

This is a bridge on the river Meuse. When in Dinant, you will see this bridge while exploring the city and the surroundings. Would suggest to park the car and take a walk on the bridge and the surroundings. A sunny day gives all the more charm to this city. A few more places to explore around this bridge. Walking around would be a good choice. One of the good places to spend a relaxed time with family & friends. Recommend it.

Very nicely decorated bridge with different saxophones. It's a view point to get beautiful pictures of Dinant. It's in the heart of the city. You can't miss it. Next to the bridge is the statue of Charles de Gaulle.

Self guided tour was not that special but for €15,- not much more to be expected if it also includes a glass and a beer. The patio view is nice and it’s a good quick stop for a beer kind of experience

The museum itself is nothing special at all. Its self guided and you can walk through in 5 minutes. But for the 15 eur you get 1 free beer. A full glass. And also a welcome present. And dogs are allowed. The tasting area is in a lovely grassy area. So, its worth it. Free parking directly in front. You can of course skip the musuem and pay for beer. They also have some small bites.

Very disappointing experience. €15 per person to see a gimmicky video tour (lasts about 10 minutes) which is completely lacking in interest. Just watching a boring video on a screen mounted in a picture frame. You get a beer included but it’s a small measure with very moody service. All in all a very expensive way to have a beer. We left feeling ripped off and offended by the 2 rude ladies who were ‘serving’. I did wonder if they were having a bet with each other on who could get away with being the rudest!

Nice place to learn about the history of Leffe beer. Entry prices are fine. For €15,00 you get access to the Maison Leffe, a free gift( beautiful Leffe glass) and a free Leffe beer at the bar. Enjoyed it a lot.

It's not a factory nor a brewery, just a little museum. There is not much to see but they explain Leffe's hystory and their products. A beer and a glass are included in the price

Wonderful experience. Lovely rooms and dining / bar area. The grounds were beautiful and lovely to walk around with a nice Leffe brew.

Nice interactive museum, not too big, and you get a complimentary drink to taste and glass to take home

Great lake for swimming and walking, but it gets very crowded on hot days.

I walked about 4 hours around this lake. Me and my friend - we challenged ourselves to finish the ring. We finally did it. I can never forget this experience.

Very nice place, for vtt,bicycle riding, kayaking, outdoor sports,but with one bad problem electric scooter's they ride them like the lake is racing track .Accident waiting to happen.

This place was the best place I have ever visited so far there are a lot of green spaces to enjoy and facilities are world class

A nice surprise ! Nice cycling tracks around the lake and great atmosphere

Great place to cycle. We took a swim as well!

Nice, nicer, the nicest. Great lake area, hiking, biking, watersports! Time out: done.

We had an amazing vacation. The hotel is in a calm forest place, nice walking around. The beer, cheese, and food were delicious. The room was clean, amazing bathroom. The only disadvantage was the strong noise outside (I think the engine of the air conditioning), so we couldn't sleep with an open window. I would also ask to add the SUGAR-FREE cereal for breakfast and vegetables if possible.

Stopped only at the Espace Chimay, the shop and the bar for the tasting. Nothing wrong with the beer, everyone knows it’s legendary. The shop is also well stocked, and make sure you have a look at the deli counter. What’s disappointing is the Chimay Experience. For being a beer tour is not very informative, there is no audio, very little video, a weird dark room where you’re supposed to grope objects, and that’s it. Compared to other brewery tours I’ve been to (and it’s quite a few) it is probably the only one I would absolutely not recommend.

Arrived for the beer and wine experience. I love Chimay triple beers and was looking forward to trying out the 150 and Doree (two I’ve not tried before). First issue, no dogs allowed, so I missed the experience part of the trip - resolved by the hostess that allowed us to slip through onto the terrace. Second issue, no food on the terrace because threatening rain clouds. Resolved (kinda) as they did permit us splitting the table and then allowed us to at least get the beer and cheese tasting. Third issue. The beers were not placed in order (luckily our waiter spotted that and corrected it) but he missed that the cheese was way off too. No care and attention paid in the bar which is worrying.

We had lunch and beer tasting. Super food and cheese and great beer pairings.

Great way to experience Chimay beers and cheeses … store closes at 6p , buy your stuff before you eat !

We tried the 5 chimay beers and a small tapas style board. Only thing that lets it down is the shop, cost way more than the supermarkets, even though we drove to them.

Stopped by for lunch while hiking past the abbey. Nice selection of food and plenty with a beer theme.

Lovely city to wander around and very good choice and value for money food

Beautiful place with several activities happening, huge sand pit for volleyball, where our son ended up playing a lot, very kids friendly and many excellent options for food just around this square.

A nice and beautiful place. Several restaurants and bar on the place. During my visit, works were carryout.

Huge cobbled square surrounded by tall 19th Century buildings of similar design. Markets held here on certain days.

Beautiful architecture and relaxed bars/restaurants surround this large historic focal point of the old town. A great place to soak up the atmosphere, if you don't mind the large marquee which dominates one half of the square.

Lovely to spend time here

A beautiful square. I was there with 'Frolicked' for the international puppet festival and it was always packed with buskers and shows and lovely people. The bars around the square are also lovely; recommend 'La Mantoue'.

It's a beautiful setting, a mix of old and new. You can relax here with your pets. However, it would be good to pay attention to the cleanliness of the cups and spoons.

Fantastic hotel in a medieval fortress! The rooms were super ~ comfortable, well appointed & beautifully decorated. I loved the rough stone original walls around the hotel. Less impressed with the “fine dining” experience. The food looked impressive but was average. Unfortunately, for a group of 12 international guests, we had a waitress that didn’t speak English which made things difficult for us & her. Breakfast was also disappointing. As a gluten free eater they did accommodate my diet but this meant removing things from the dish & not adding something else! My choices were limited due to a lack of adaptation. So I had a plate of meat in sauce for my main course! Surely a fine dining restaurant can be a bit creative! *Note to kitchen: the amusebouche with couscous is not GF - couscous is made of flour.

Lovely hotel rich in history. Rooms have large, comfortable beds. It doesn’t get much more beautiful than this. They also have a castle tour with some great views and an escape room on property as well. Overall amazing experience.

Perfect when visiting Sedan, they offer big rooms with nice beds for the kids. Kids enjoyed it a lot. You get a discount for the fort as hotel guest.

Enjoyed my one night stay within the walls of this historic site. Accommodating and dogs are welcome.

Extremely helpful people at the reception!! They really went an extra mile to help me!

Very interesting hotel in a very large fortress, surrounded by high walls!

Great museum. It's located in a beautiful old building and you really get to learn a lot about the history of beer and how its made. It also has a bar at the end of the museum to taste some beers yourself

A lot of interesting things to see and learn about beer brewing; ingredients, methods, tools and machinery, bottles, and both technical as well as cultural history. Unfortunately most detailed information as well as all data presented digitally is made available in French only. The main panels on the wall also include short summaries in English and German as well, but the lack of detail is really a pity! The museum is strongly advised to provide full translations as hand-out to improve the overall experience of foreign guests. The location and building are anyhow worth a visit, as is the small in-house brasserie that offers a broad selection of beers (also to take home, with in many cases their specific glasses as well). Nevertheless you should try their own locally brewed superb beer!

Extremely thoughtful and informative displays with information in French and English. Excellent overview of the history of brewing, and the shop/cafe at the end has a wide selection of beers.

Excellent place, check out the café as well!

Not what we were expecting, it wasn't even an old brewery. Not my fave place.

It was quite interesting and we found all the advertising memorabilia good. But it was a shame that not all of the explanation was in different languages only in French. We had the idea that we missed out and didn't know what all the exibits were. Also afterwards we thought we would be able to taste different beers for a price but we were only able to buy different beer which we felt was quite expensive.

Great education of beer production though the ages. Don't miss the Beer Garden at the end of your visit. Fun!!!

Educational wildlife park. Not too big and not crowded. We spent a great day there. Friendly prices too. At 14.30 hrs there is a bird show with owls, eagles, vultures and more.

Very nice parc. Well maintaned and friendly staff. Lots of animals to see with possibility to see them feed the animals. The hammocs are also a big hit!

This is a fabulous little wildlife park, so if in the vicinity it's well worth 2 or 3 hours looking round. Huge parking area - no height barriers - we paid 12.50€ each. No English leaflets/boards, but most animals are self explanatory (!). All in woodland, little trails leading to enclosures. Amazing wolf packs. Plenty to see, with a little 'farm type' animals area, then more unusual animals. Birds of prey, reptiles, bats ... and various displays during the day. A great little cafe, seating inside and out. Play areas for children. Gift shop at entrance. Toilets etc at entrance and in the Park. Probably slippery underfoot in wet weather as much of yhe walking is on compressed soil. Lots of benches, undercover seating etc. Really excellent value (& we've stayed overnight in the carpark - did get permission!)

Nice park. Not the biggest - but the staff are nice and very knowledgeable. Nice playground and high quality cafeteria with focus on locally sourced ingredients.

I agree with many of the other reviews that this is a great place to visit with a family. While the park is not as big as some zoos I've been to, the animals seem much happier, and the shows and feeding times allow you to easily spend an entire afternoon. The zookeepers are very knowledgeable and approachable to ask questions. Beware that this park is on hilly terrain and not suitable for wheelchairs or strollers, we luckily had a nice child carrier backpack to carry our two year old around in. The hammock rope playground is great, even for a two year old and their parents! We had a great time!

Splendid park within the forest. Raccoons, wolves, farm animals, owls, birds of prey and a small indoor section. Feeding moments for the raccoons and the wolves were cool and informative. The adventure parc with hanging nets was a lot of unexpected additional fun.

Peaceful zoo. Not too big. Definitely recommend doing the zookeeper for a day, you pay a bit more but get an unforgettable experience. Free parking. Note staff mainly speaks french.

Never visit with a small child. No possibility to change the pampers. If you need to do it, you can not join the group again (!!!!). I must have spent my time in the car at the parking.

(Translated by Google) Dynamic guide who shares his knowledge in a way that is very understandable for everyone. The prison history of this place largely takes precedence over the religious history. The buildings are either destroyed or under construction. The history of this place is very interesting but the site is really not worth a look. To see if we are only in the area. (Original) Guide dynamique et qui partage ses connaissances de manière très compréhensible pour tous. L'histoire carcérale de ce lieu prend largement le dessus sur l'histoire religieuse. Les bâtiments sont soit détruits, soit en travaux. L'histoire de ce lieu est très intéressante mais le site ne vaut vraiment pas le coup d’œil. A voir si on est dans le coin seulement.

They have made a great program for everyone to have a dynamic couple of hours walking the city of Essoyes and discovering the life of the man and artist. Renoir's House, Gardens, his studio, the cemetery where you can find his grave and that of his wife plus the cultural center where you can watch a short film in English/ French and see the cute exhibition. Very friendly people/youth greeting us as we passed by. All in all, an enjoyable and educational experience for adults and young people. I say just come to this city. You will end up with a bunch of beautiful pictures to remember the visit. Audio guides available. Credit cards accepted. English-speaking staff.

I love visiting this little museum in Essoyes, the foundation that manages the Renoir estate and studio do such a great job. The staff is particularly friendly, speak English (thankfully, still learning French) and they are really nice and helpful. We chose to take along the head-sets and I'm glad we did! The life and times of Renoir is fascinating how this artist saw real life and painted it. I'm so glad he did. One of my absolute favorite painters who also LIVED his life shows in the walking museum through the town. You will learn so much about his first love ART as well as his daily life in this "vacation" or resting spot for him to reflect. Every time I am in Champagne~Ardenne I include this on my itinerary because everyone enjoys it so much. This precious little town too, makes me want to rent an apartment and just walk the streets on a Saturday morning and step back in time.

Terrific village to spend the afternoon with a picnic and a comfortable pair of shoes. The village is very quaint and photogenic. They have many bistros and bars to eat and drink. The Renoir exhibit is very informative and detailed. It is a walking tour that starts in the office of tourism and ends at his grave.

Very beautiful location with the Renoir connection

Small but well thought out and interesting. . Definitely make use of the audio guide to enhance your visit.

Great museum of Renoir family, the world of painting and that of the cinema!

Beautiful! A must visit!

A very large cathedral Free to enter and enjoy Parking on street Playground opposite Signs in French and English

Beautiful cathedral with some magnificent tapestries.

Beautiful cathedral! Speechless.

So big, so beautiful!

Nice

(Translated by Google) An architectural gem! A cathedral printer, it's definitely worth the detour to take a look inside! A real joy to enter and walk around on a summer day, inside we can feel the freshness of the imposing stone blocks! The stained glass windows are also very beautiful!

Je recommande d'y passer

(Translated by Google) A very impressive cathedral for such a small town. We were pleasantly surprised. The whole town is worth a visit. (Original) Sehr beeindruckende Kathedrale für solch eine kleine Stadt. Waren positiv überrascht. Die ganze Stadt ist einen Besuch wert.

Visited at the end of April. The town itself is well worth your time. Meandering local streets filled with centuries old buildings by the river and a walk up to the grotto takes you back to other times. The grotto was an interesting side visit especially since you get in a boat to meander up and down the cave section that has an interesting history both timeless and fascinating. Very quiet tourist wise that time of year so no battle for parking or queues to get in. Kids will love the boat ride in the “dark".

Small cave well presented by the guides. The tour includes a boat trip inside. Not that spectacular though.

Nice tour guide and also nice boat tour. It was fun. I recommend it!!

A beautiful cave in a lovely town that you should definitely explore. The staff is very friendly and all are volunteers. Some speak better English than others, but the information is certainly conveyed.

well organized with friendly enthousiastic volunteers, worth the entry fee. toilet available and drinks for fair prices at the entrance. be aware due too limited capacity of the boats working with time slots and full is full

A nice view of the cave with a great story written around the cave. Very entertaining, cool to sit in a boat in a cave without an engine. Once it falls silent its quite eerie. Didn't know what to expect going in, but exceeded any expectation I had. The town outside and the source of the river are also very picturesque and worth a visit. Sadly not really a place to get a nice lunch when we visited.

Fun short cave trip with unique boat ride. Not a very large cave tour but interesting non the less and nice guides. Also go down to the river down below on 1 minute distance in the village its very beautiful.

Cool and iconic in Dijon... easy to find. It's nice to find it without Google maps to make it for Cool... just follow the signs on the street floor.

A modern old town, just follow the golden arrows for sightseeing. The shops are neat and orderly. I saw people slipping after the rain because the floor is slippery. It is recommended to wear shoes a good shoes. There is a restaurant that supports Down syndrome. I recommend you try it.

Palm-sized and polished by countless hands, the little owl carved into Notre-Dame’s wall turns a side lane into a ritual. Touch with your left hand and make a wish; the brass pavement plate with the owl logo marks the stop and small arrows carry you along Dijon’s Parcours de la Chouette. This is the route’s namesake and most photographed moment: modest stone, big civic idea. I like how the trail knits small details to major landmarks - marker, brief engagement, onward wayfinding - so one carving speaks to grander sites across the old town.

Super nice tour especially for kids which are keen on discovering the next owl of Dijon on the way. All nice attractions can be seen on this journey.

Great mid evil city with not a lot of tourists. Great wines from around the region, many fine restaurants and a truly great French market place

Loved randomly following footpath markers to discover iconic landmarks in Dijon. You can buy a €4 map from the tourist office and do it in an organized manner or just set yourself a challenge to see how many you can find on your travels.

I like it - brings good luck if you place your right hand on it :) A tip from a local: Once there, make sure to check the rooftop of the building to the right of the owl, you'll find beautiful owl and cat.. keeping an eye on the city ;) (photo below)

The rooms are beautiful. Lots of classic old works, a few modern works, so not very impressive for me. Admission is free, so it's worth seeing the architecture. Beware, there's a trap on the first floor, you'll never get out without asking... we weren't the only ones. Fortunately, the lovely security staff are there to help.

We were greeted by very friendly staff who explained the museum's layout. This museum is large, entry is free, and there are several floors of exhibits to see. The grounds around the museum are picturesque as well. Enjoy!

A free art museum! It was a treat, of course. I'm not an expert, but I think their collection was very good, based mostly on the Duc's collection. Don't miss the Duc and Duchess's tombs! Everything was in french and it wasn't very crowded, even on a Saturday and even with people fleeing from the rain, like we were.

The Best Things in Life Are Free Well, that’s certainly true for the Musée des Beaux-Arts in Dijon. I first discovered it a few years ago while tracking works by Vieira da Silva and Nicolas de Staël—and since then, it has become an almost obligatory stop on the way to or back from the South. Just three hours from Luxembourg, and each visit brings something new. This time, a megalomaniac Chinese painter exhibited right in front of the tombs of the Dukes of Burgundy—a juxtaposition as unexpected as it is striking. And if you’re traveling with children, don’t miss the fantastical animals of Pompon. A place where history, discovery, and wonder are all free of charge.

Incredible museum. Very rich collection and well displayed and organised. Free to hold your bags in lockers and the staff are friendly and professional. Highly recommend visiting here!

The Dijon Museum of Fine Arts is well organised and an example of a must see museum outside of Paris, London, etc. There's everything from beautifully curated medieval art to sculpture to art and photography of the 1900s and 2000s. As a bonus, it's free to enter. Most definitely a not to be missed attraction in Dijon.

Just around the corner from our apartment was the gallery, it was fabulous, great works of art, by all the usual suspects, paintings and sculptures, a good 2 hours will suffice this wonderful painting by Tissot was the icing on the cake

What a wonderful afternoon - would recommend to any wine enthusiast. Pierre was incredibly knowledgeable. Surroundings and the wine were equally stunning

What a beautiful chateau - our favorite chateau tour & tasting in Beaune! Our guide was so nice and I learned so much about the region in that short amount of time. Definitely book the exclusive tour for a tasting of 8 great wines in a private room of their Premiers and Grands Crus!

I was there last weekend and I have to say the whole experience isn't done with love. The chairs and tables outside are not welcoming, you pay 55€ for a tasting of 6 wines and there is a very very small amount given to you in the glass. I have never experienced this in any wine tasting. There was not much context given (grape varieties / barrique etc.). The glasses are cheap - I actually have to say the glass because you get one glass and after the red wines some water is poured into it and you can rinse it before tasting white wine. For this price I would expect new glasses, maybe a glass of water with the tasting or some bread. You choose the better option if you just order a bottle of wine in a bar.

Excellent wine tasting and tour by Benjamin. We don’t speak French and we were lucky to have a tour guide who speaks English perfectly. The Chateaux surroundings are beautiful, the wines are special, and Benjamin explains every detail about the wine production process and the different plot/regions in Burgundy. A true Burgundy wine experience!

A very cool and complete visit. We gathered as much information as possible. The guide was very patient and more than willing to answer to any question. The wine tasting was really great as they don’t shy away from opening interesting bottles and that it illustrated perfectly the visit! Highly recommended!

Just had a really nice and very educational tasting visit here. Our guide, Mathieu, was knowledgeable and patient and the wines were great. Not much of a tour but the tasting was a great experience.

Looks nice enough, difficult to comment on anything else as they wouldn’t let us do the tasting without a tour (despite the website saying it’s possible and giving you prices). Save your money on the overpriced tour and spend it in one of the very cute tasting spots in the town centre.

The cathedral was built between 1092 and 1220 as a Roman style church but gothic additions were made later in the 16th century. The interior was rather dark but at some places they have built sensors that switch on lights when you get near. In front of the church is a lively square with restaurants

Nice and climstic cathedral, although it needs a general renovation in certain parts.

Popular site for locals and tourists. Located in old part of Chalon and near businesses selling clothes, etc. Review Google in your choice of languages before visiting. The open space in front of the cathedrale is usually filled with tables and large umbrellas, which makes for ugly photos.

The real highlight for me was the cloisters behind the cathedral. You have to exit the cathedral and turn left to visit them.

Very nice

Just surprisingly beuatifull. 1000 year old cathedral. Beautiful location with Lovely square just by the cathedral with tables and chairs and cafes.Nice fountain too.Lovely architecture and great for photos. The cathedral close of Saint Vincent, seat of the former bishopric of Chalon-sur-Saone, is made up the the Bishop’s Palace, cathedral, cloister and cannon’s houses. Construction of the cathedral started in 1090 in the Romanesque style, but today is characterised by its Gothic elevation and neo-Gothic facade. The simple layout of the cathedral is composed of three naves, a chevet without ambulatory and side chapels. Come and discover the collection of Romanesque capitals, the Brussels tapestry dating from 1510 and a 16th century stained glass window. For the visually handicapped there is a tactile model available. Today, the St Vincent’s Cathedral cloister is the only canons cloister conserved in Burgundy and Franche-Comte. Its exterior walls probably date from around 1000, which makes it even more exceptional. Three wings with trilobe arched bays dating from the 14th century and ribbed vaults from the 15th century. The north wing is a contemporary reconstruction of the gallery that disappeared in the 19th century. In the spirit of the mediaeval and existing 19th century capitals, it was decorated with sculptures on the capitals in Saint-Marc stone (Burgundy limestone) made by the sculptor Laetitia de Bazelaire, representing animals, the virtues or the 5 senses. Accessible to people with reduced mobility.

Great architecture, a must see in Chalon.

Been twice now and done the photo theme and pirate theme rooms. We will definitely be back for the 3rd room and are pleased to know there will be a 4th one coming soon. The rooms are very well thought out with almost every step being unique to each room. The staff will gently guide you if required in order to keep the pace of the game fun. They won't let you win for free though you still need to think! Once you've included the intro and the photo at the end it's a great way to spent 2 hours. The newest room is actually a 90 min time limit.

Great experience! The rooms are extremely well decorated and the enigmas are all very well thought.

Super!

Super moment!

(Translated by Google) We tested the "The Samurai Mask" room with 3 people and what a wonderful surprise! This room is one of my favorite escape games. The puzzles were extremely varied and well-crafted. The story is captivating and the game master is very friendly. We will definitely return to try the other rooms. Thank you for this great time.

It is one of the most beautiful constructions of medieval times. Best atmosphere and vibes ✨️

This church and Abbey is one of the best preserved in France. It is surrounded by it's own walls and gates which gives it an impression of a fotres. Already in the 6th century a church was built here in a place where there used to be a Roman castrum or army camp. The Abbey got a boost in 875 when the remains of Saint Philibert were put to rest in this church and gave it it's name. The church is sober on the interior but has some interesting mosaics behind the main altar. At the entrance is a small exhibition. The Abbey has a nice central courtyard

Beautiful Building, well worth seeing the main church and surroundings. The building has a special feel to it, as you enter the nave (main part of the church)

Hate crashes a wedding and saw the place for free. To be mosaic in the ambulatory is excellent

Worth a visit for sure.

One of the most amazing churches I have been to, and I have been to hundreds or thousands of them. Beautifully restored, but not too much changed from its original state. Wonderful natural light. Not too crowded. Amazing architecture. Interesting, beautiful town that is not too touristy (at least in January, when I visited). Great, inexpensive lunch at the restaurant just outside (to the south of) the main entrance. If you like old buildings or Romanesque architecture, you should not miss Tournus.

Spectacular 5 star ⭐️

A beautiful medieval site... The castle dates back to the 13th century and is partially restored.

Visited with my family with 3 kids and grandpa & grandma. Had a wonderful day. People at the location were very nice and friendly.

Brancion village is an interesting place to visit, but it could be a lot more interesting for visitors if basic facilities like toilets were available. Due to Convid 19 the very basic toilet just outside the village was off limits. Once inside the village/ castle complexe there is nothing...The car park is located a good 250 metres before the main entrance. Parking is free and entrance into the village too. If you wish to visit the castle it is 6 euros. Well worth it I feel. There is a great view from the old church building of the valley below. Some houses are lived in, but most seem empty. There is a small café selling drinks. Staff in the ticket office are nice, but there were no books about the history of the village or castle, which is a pity.....

The village and Château de Brancion are like a true journey back in time. Nestled in the heart of Burgundy, this beautifully preserved medieval site has a unique atmosphere. The cobbled streets, ancient stone buildings, and sweeping views over the surrounding vineyards make it a breathtaking place to explore. The château, standing proudly above the village, offers a glimpse into life centuries ago. A visit here is both cultural and enchanting, perfect for all ages. An absolute must-see for anyone wanting to experience the authenticity and heritage of Burgundy with the most beautiful view of Bourgogne

C'est magnifique! A jewel of medieval restoration. Allow time to stroll the little village as well as your the fortress. If you're not French get the audio guide.

Beautiful medieval castle ruin and 12th century church located on a hill overlooking Burgundy - Great place for kids

A great little village interesting castle a good half day visit

Great and easy hiking trail to climb to the top; the scenery along the trail overlooks vineyards and little hamlets and is awesome for picture taking. The view from the top of the rock is breathtaking!

Beautiful view from the top! Nice walk. It took us with 2 kids (8/9 years) about 90 minutes in total, including chilling for 30 minutes at the top.

Popular hike it seems, quite a lot of people did the walk to the top which has a very nice view over the area. It took us +-30mins, for 1.7km. You can start at one of the (free) parkings, there should be enough place. We did the descent via Combe Robat til the town of Vergisson. Finally through the vineyards back to the parking. You can follow the yellow marks. This direction is very quiet and more fun. Our daughters of 8 and 11 joined us, and in total we walked 6km.

Very nice place to visit to get a view over the pouilly fussé vineyards. Quite an easy walk up from the parking place. Apparently Francois Mitterrand used to walk the hill once a year. There is also a museum, which was closed when we were there

Beautiful view! Fun and sporty walk!

A great place for a half-day trip if you're based nearby. Great views, nice holiday atmosphere. The path is somewhat difficult as it goes up, but it's worth it.

Wonderful views after a manageable climb. An important prehistorical site, An excellent museum and outdoor tour of the archaeological sites.

We had a great time there with our son of 6 years old. It's not too big, but still many animals to spot! Besides animals, there are also many attractions for the little ones! We had a great day.

Great day trip for all especially in July and August when the water park is open. New slides in the pool are excellent for kids under 7 and new games are fun. I highly recommend it.

More for children, not really for the animals We saw a zookeeper use a fire extinguisher on monkeys from the side to keep them appart We had to pay for the waterpark too, eventhough we did not want to use it. It was all in the price and no other options were available, it was misleading. But he parking is free.

I visited Touroparc Zoo a couple of weeks ago to celebrate my birthday, and I can honestly say it was one of the best experiences I’ve ever had! What made this experience so special was how hands-on it was. Unlike other soigneur experiences where you barely get to interact with the animals, Christophe made sure we were involved and engaged the whole way through. You can tell he genuinely cares for the all the reptiles and takes great pride in sharing that with others. We had the chance to see so many incredible species up close, and he gave us a fascinating look into what it’s really like to work behind the scenes at a zoo. Thank you, Christophe, for making my birthday so memorable. Your enthusiasm made the visit come alive! Highly recommend this experience to anyone, whether you're an animal lover or just curious. Truly a 10/10!

Very! nice park but absolutely ridiculous how weird they are about the height in the attractions, when accompanied by an adult. I was not allowed to drive the horses attraction with my baby who really got to love this attraction in Parc le pal. We stood 15 minutes in the burning sun. When it was our turn he pointed at the sign saying my baby should be 90cm. At Parc le pal we did this attraction multiple times without an issue. This ruined the moment. All other safe attractions you can do as parent with your kid, is not allowed, really frustrating. The wild water attraction or the mono rail are allowed :/ Please check your height restrictions... Everything else is really nice, but above gave everything a bad taste.

We visited on a cooler weekday in September and the place was very quiet which was perfect for us to see all the animals It's clear the animals are well cared for and healthy The rides and water park looked good but they were not available this late in the season

The VIP and Soigneur experiences are totally worth it. We have done the VIP visit twice and the both times was super amazing. Highly recommended. We chose to do the Soigneur experience in the reptile house and we're extremely happy with our choice. It was very very interactive and we learned so many interesting facts from Christoph. Thanks so much for the amazing experience with Curu, the snakes, lizards, iguana, crocodiles, and turtles!

We enjoyed our visit to the monastery and the museum. Beautiful site.

Very beautiful monastery with a rich history, unsurprising given how old Europe is. And this one has been well maintained, even hosting music and arts shows outside of just the walk around tour of the monastery itself. Obvious ongoing upkeep and restoration work is happening which is great given that this monastery is close to 500 years old. Doesn't look a day over 300. 🤪

A beautiful historical place where to spend a pleasant and interesting couple of hours. The architecture is impressive, the place is big and there is plenty of things to see: the church, the various rooms, the ancient tools used for the building, some historical facts etc... there was also a room with an art exhibition. Spent a wonderful afternoon there!

This place is breathtaking. The outside is beautiful and the inside is just amazing. Definitely worth the price of admission. Plan to allow yourself at least a few hours to enjoy and take in all the art, artifacts, and architecture this place has to offer.

Found by accident as we heading Northwards. Lucky the light show was on just as we took an evening stroll.Nice music also

Well maintained monastery and church with a very interesting history. The church hosts the graves of Philibert II., his mother and his wife Margaret of Austria, which are great pieces of art from Flamish sculpturers.

Stunning cathedral with a very unique roof displaying the colours of the Duchess of Burgundy built between 1506 and 1532. The monastery is behind the church.

Visited the village but no one establishment. It was very quiet, but one could see the charm. Colleagues on the tour enjoyed coffee and cake. Worth a look for an insight into old France.

A nice medieval village in a wine producing area. Proud and beautiful with its golden yellow stones and a very beautiful church high up.

When we arrived there we asked if we could go up - they have set the tower up as a mini museum with about 4 floors before you reach the rooftop. The stairs are very steep (beware) but the view from the top is well worth it. Accessing the tower costs a mere €2 per person (they take card payment) and is free for children.

Beautiful village. Clean, flowers everywhere, the locals work collectively to take care of the village. The Church is beautiful, the view is stunning. Really worth visiting!

The most beautiful village of Beaujolais🍷Rhône with its typical golden stones

Well preserved medieval village in the Pierre D'Orrees (Golden Stones) area of Beuajolais. Unfortunately we arrived at lunchtime in November and most of the artist community shops were closed! Very pretty village with fabulous views.

Absolutely stunning place!! Loved how small and so adorable!!

This place is great. I love history. Thus, I liked the place and atmosphere.

Pérouges is a beautifully preserved medieval village that feels like stepping into a fairytale. Cobbled streets, stone houses, ivy-covered facades — every corner is photogenic and full of charm. It’s not big, but that’s part of its beauty: you can wander slowly, take in the atmosphere, and imagine what life was like centuries ago. There are lovely artisan shops, small cafés, and a few restaurants where you can enjoy local specialties — especially the famous galette de Pérouges, which is absolutely worth tasting warm with a bit of sugar caramelized on top. It’s peaceful, authentic, and only a short drive from Lyon — perfect for a half-day or slow afternoon escape. Go early or late in the day if you want to avoid crowds and enjoy the serenity of the place. Highly recommended for anyone who loves history, quiet beauty, and timeless villages.

A lovely stone middle age town, nice for taking a walk but became a bit commercial.

It was quite an interesting tour of this great medieval city before Christmas time. The restaurants and cafes were all decorated for Christmas, and we tried mulled wine in one of the places. At this time of year the city is not so crowded with visitors.

Very interesting place, with a 3-4 restaurants which are full around lunch time, but you can have pancakes with ham or Nutella on the street. It's a beautiful Medieval town, especially during the Autumn because of the colours of the falling leaves.

I could not get enough of this beautiful historic place. I was. Awe around each corner I walked. Simply beautiful. Bring you best pair of waking shoes and a lot of space on your phone to take pictures.

This place is very beautiful and has not a lot visitors. One day trip would be far enough to enjoy entirely of this village. I stayed one night (Wed) and there is no restaurant opening for dinner.

Really nice place to visit close to Lyon. Pérouges and these caves make for a cool 1 day visit. The labyrinth inside the caves were the most liked feature of the family. The chapelle at the entrance is really beautiful.

One of the breathtaking wonders of nature! An hour drive from Lyon, this place was precious find. Honestly it is journey through time and space. When you squeeze yourself through the natural maze between rocks, you are not yourself anymore. You can sense a different spirit traversing those thin passages. Just beautiful 😍

Interesting experience, must visit.

Not far from Lyon you can enjoy your whole day there with all natural beauty peace ✌️ clam, it really work to got reference 😇😇

This too beautiful good place for visit

Amazing Caves, well maintained and marked. Some of the places are too narrow, not sure if someone a bit fat can get through.

What an amazing experience we really enjoyed it. You get to explore the cave and travel down tight tunnels it's a load of fun and very interesting. We only found it as we stopped of for the night but will be telling everyone about it and it's very well priced. Well done to the town for this experience
