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!

Unfortunately the walkways are closed but it’s still a good thing to see

Definitely worth the detour to admire this viaduct!

Impressive but shame the footpath was closed.

Stopped here today (26/9/23)and the public walkways are still closed. It is an amazing structure and well worth stopping to see and photograph. There is no work going on - there doesn’t appear to be anything structural needed as trains are still crossing. It just needs to have the cleaning finished; most of it is done but some of the stonework is still black. Please finish the work and reopen the walkways for us to be able to really enjoy this incredible viaduct in full.

Really breathtaking site to see, Downside was they closed the passageway for the visitors. I don't know how long it will be closed.

Nice viaduct. Just sadly closed due to renovation.

Visited September 23rd 2018 and the walkway WAS open but there is evidence of ongoing maintenance work so the walkway position is not certain everyday. Well worth a visit though it would benefit from a better path at the 'other side '!

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! I recommend going there (Original) Un joyaux d'architecture ! Une imprimante cathédrale, elle vaut vraiment le détour d'y jeter un œil à l'intérieur ! Un vrai petit bonheur d'y entrer et de se balader à l'intérieur d'un jours d'été, dedans nous pouvons ressentir la fraîcheur des blocs de pierres imposant ! Les vitraux sont aussi très beaux ! 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 remarkable collection of machines. I particularly liked the Abarth car collection. The motorcycles were numerous most makes I’d never heard of. All of them are for sale if you have a barn big enough to accommodate them. There are agricultural machines, fire fighting vehicles and most impressive the aircraft. Not restored but left to weather and decay. So many that you can view close up.

Well, they do offer free parking on-site, so that's a plus. The place seems a bit neglected and dirty, but don't let that stop you from visiting. As I'm a USAF retired fighter aircraft mechanic, I visited just to see the aircraft. Sadly, you're not allowed to actually walk around them. You're only allowed to walk in front of them on a gravel pathway. Still worth a visit. The motorcycle museum was over the top impressive. Clearly this is their main focus. There is nothing special about going inside other than to see the motorcycle collection. On our vacation, we used this stop as a time filler along the driving route to Paris. About an hour away from Paris.

Amazing place to visit, especially for those who like cars, planes, and all things similar! Definitely worth checking out the grounds and walking among the exhibits. They also offer wine tasting on the grounds

It looks like some mad persons collected everything they could find and packed it into an old castle. Cars, fighter planes, fire trucks, bikes..... Sounds crazy but we loved it. You have to see it.

Exceptional castle with a great collection of Abarth cars, bikes and airplanes. Truly unique experience.

Had an amazing time here, great collection of cars and planes, something you not see very often. Really worth for money.

Stunning landscape even though during winter. The castle itself is well preserved with beautiful decoration. The vineyard surely gorgeous during summer time, but for now they are sleeping. The cars and motorcycles collection are crazy. They also have millions models of car, plane and service vehicles. The aircraft was packed in this place as well. You must visit if you are an aviation lover.

Self guided tour and tasting for 25 euros. Fantastic cellars, well laid out with informative video stations. For the tasting of 6 wines at the end Leane was professional and knowledgeable. We bought quite a few wines so maybe think about giving part of the initial fee back?

I regret our decision to visit this winery. While the cellars are interesting given their length, they are not worth seeing for the price. There is no proper greeting or personal guide, a small amount of audio/video in a few spots, no explanation or opportunity to ask questions. A big sales pitch at the end to purchase their expensive wines. Not at all worth the price.

We did the self-guided tour. It was very informative and the cellar was impressive. We also had a tasting at the end of 3 white and 3 red wines. We would definitely recommend this tour.

Malika was one of the best wine tasting ambassadors we have ever had. We were in the regular tour and she recognized that we were interested in 1er Crus. 15 bottles of tasting later we placed our order for 24 bottles of outstanding bottles. What a great experience! We will visit her every time we are in Beaune!

We did not enjoy this tour. It was raining, and they didn't even open the doors to let people in. There is little information on a self-tour, and the wine was the smallest amount I have seen in a tasting! It's all about trying to sell their wine. The cellars are large, but not to the standard of other tours.

This was a very nice chateau. The self guided tour was actually very pleasant. I love old cellars and seeing dusty bottles of goodness is really cool. The self paced tasting was pretty incredible. There were attendants if you had questions, but they let you "taste" as much as you wanted. A little dangerous for Americans but we kept it classy...mostly. We did talk to a sommelier about wine and ended up doing a private tasting with some very cool Irish folks. The wines were waaaaaayyyy out of our price league, but it was an awesome experience. We did buy a pricey bottle for our 1 year old to open on her 21st. She better enjoy it! Overall this place is classy, nice, ancient, and not too stuffy. Highly recommend it for the value.

We had an absolutely perfect time here. The tour is very interesting as the cellars are just enormous. The highlight, for us, was the tasting at the end. We had an almost hour long conversation, tasted some great wine, explored all their options, and couldn't have asked for more. Worth a visit.

Really loved the audio guide that gave great information but was entertaining the way it is done. Took us about an hour and a half to go through and a great picture of the non wine history in Beaune. Especially liked the pharmacie room and the presentation of every day life in those times.

This was definitely the highlight of our visit in Beaune. The building used to be a hospital for poor people and is now very well restored. Entrance fee is Euro 12 - you can book online or pay at the spot. The roof and the building itself are very beautiful but they cannot be seen from outside. You need to purchase a ticket. I am glad we did.

Truly beautiful: the roof, courtyard, musuem displays, the numerous works of art. Very well curated, easy to understand the history and acts of charity carried out here. The Last Judgement altarpiece is a true masterpiece and is not to be missed, very powerful Practically had the place to ourselves after 6

Great place to learn about how medicine was practices since the 15th century. Well restored and well presented. Their audio guide is an excellent teaching and learning tool, especially the “if you would like to learn more” green button.

Step back in time of old style hospital. Magnificent building with a tiled roof you can see best from inside the large courtyard. Well worth the entry fee. Booklet or headphones self audio tour are included with ticket price.

Working for a Hospice charity, I enjoyed seeing the granddad of Hospices in Beaune. This town was caring for the vulnerable from before my country was even discovered. Amazing tour and worth the ticket price to enter.

A must have seen in Beaune. Yes the roof is great. But for me the history of the very old hospital and its foundation fascinates me more. You get an audioguide, which I highly recommand. The tour is about 1 to 1,5 hours. A lot old hospital furnitures and equipment. Entrance was 12€, which is ok for such an historic place!

We had a wonderful experience with their guided tasting tour. My husband and I paid for the tasting, while our son accompanied us without participating, as he’s not into wine. The group size was limited to 10 people, but it ended up being just the three of us. Our guide spoke excellent English and shared his deep local wine expertise throughout the tour. We tasted four red wines, including a Grand Cru valued at around USD 295 per bottle (based on my later research), and three white wines featuring two premium crus. We were very impressed with the wine selection and overall tasting experience. The next day, when we dined at a local Michelin-starred restaurant, the sommelier recommended a red from the same winery as the first red we tasted (Marsannay 2021, approximately USD 64 per bottle market value or $85 in a Lyon restaurant ) to pair with our meal, which included both fish and chicken. Pinot Noir from Burgundy is well-structured and far more sophisticated than many Napa counterparts, which I find somewhat overpriced. The flavor profiles vary greatly depending on the winery and vintage. The Chardonnay also stood out, especially when served at the proper temperature. We particularly enjoyed the Saint-Aubin Premier Cru Les Champlots 2022 Blanc from Domaine Gilles Bouton et Fils (Vivino rating 4.0). Its floral and fruity notes of peach, apricot, and lemon, combined with a buttery hint and balanced acidity, made it exceptionally refreshing on an early summer day. We purchased a bottle and savored it back at our hotel. The wine glasses we used during tasting became a store souvenir. It’s a pity that both red and white Burgundy wines are quite delicate and don’t travel well in summer heat. Nevertheless, this historical church-turned-boutique wine market is a true gem. I highly recommend this guided tasting experience, especially for visitors from outside Europe. Good value with pleasant surprises.

Our group of 4 did a private wine tasting with Andréa and it was fantastic. He was so knowledgeable and took his time in taking us through each wine and helping us to appreciate their special qualities. Would highly recommend this experience.

Absolutely loved our experience at Boutique Wine Market! The self-paced wine tasting through the cellar was fantastic for our small group of 3. Tasting 8 wines, including 3 premier cru, was a highlight, and the massive maps added depth to the experience. In just one hour, we learned so much and enjoyed every moment. A big shoutout to the team for their incredible wine knowledge and hospitality. Highly recommend this gem for any wine enthusiast!

We took a 7 glasses wine tour in the store which has a great ambiance. The only downside of the tour was the wine itself. Even the more expensive and possibly better wines were not to the liking of a group of 6 persons. The fact that it was unanimously off was odd. Especially considering the price.

Our small group of 4 really enjoyed this wine tasting experience to go at your own pace through the cellar. We tasted 8 wines that included 3 premier cru and learned a lot from this experience and massive maps- overall a great 1 hour wine tasting for our small group! Big thanks to Amelia for sharing her incredible wine knowledge with us too.

Beautiful decoration inside. Wine tasting available.

I have been in Beaune a few times and Marche aux Vins is a fantastic place to purchase wine to be delivered to the US. Having used their expertise and purchasing some fantastic Puligny Montrachet white wines I love Bourgonone wines and this wine merchant has them all.

This amusement park is understaffed overall. I was appalled by the fact that one staff is managing two different rides at the same time, which leads to a more waiting time and potential risks for accidents. Above all, we wasted a total of 1.5 hours for getting a lunch at the restaurant near the entrance. They closed the other restaurant, so all people concentrated only on the remaining restaurant. On average, two tables were served every 30 minutes even though there were three staff in the kitchen. If they are overwhelmed with pouring customers, they should at least inform them of such delay. This experience ruins our plan and family moments

Fantastic small theme park. Something for everyone. Highly recommended. No queues!

What an amazing place, no queues (middle of August), fantastic rides and a great day out!

The rides are fine BUT the experienced we had in the snack "le gare des combes" was the WORST ever. Staffs are slow and inefficient. My husband ordered tacos and it was served to him frozen. The chopped steak taste like carton. The fact that they sell it expensive I just find it not honest to serve it to people.

This is a lovely little theme park for young and old. Taking the train from le creusot station up to the park is a great way to start the day. The park itself doesn't have many rides but the queues are short of any at all, even on weekends. Kids and adults love it here and the prices are reasonable.

Excellent park for kids untill 16years of age. You can buy day/family tickets or just come in and enjoy your kids playing. No play, no pay.

Is small compared with another ones, but lovely park, not so many attractions, but very fun for kids.

This stunning church is situated in the center of Dole in the Jura region in France is not to be missed

Yes, beautiful. But yet another disgraceful monument to the greed and avarice of the Catholic church. Where's the charity? Where's the love? People dying and starving with poverty all over the world, but money flying around the Vatican. Disgusting. They make me sick.

Hammer. Subba!! Must see

Beautiful Collégiale a must go

Lovely church. Worst a visit for all that like churches or find solice. Could use some restaurations and some English translations.

Lovely place! It makes you reminisce the history of this place.

Only seen from outside but well worth a visit.

(Translated by Google) Nice little passage, it's a shame there aren't more explanatory signs, except at the entrance, before going down the stairs. (Original) Petit passage sympa, dommage qu'il n'y ait pas plus de panneaux explicatifs, hormis à l'entrée, avant de descendre les escaliers.

(Translated by Google) Absolutely make the detour. The entrance from rue Pasteur is approximately 10m in the opposite direction to Maison Pasteur or possible access from the canal. Follow the cat on the ground that leads there: this buried architectural feat will leave you speechless! Muddy in September, wooden rafters allow easy access around the fountain. We deplore the few scattered pieces of waste. (Original) Faire absolument le détour. L'entrée depuis la rue Pasteur est à environ 10m direction opposée à la maison Pasteur ou accès possible depuis le canal. Suivre au sol le chat qui y conduit : cette prouesse architecturale enterrée vous laissera sans voix ! Boueux en septembre, des chevrons en bois permettent un accès aisé autour de la fontaine. On déplore les quelques déchets épars.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful passage under the streets of Dole, freely accessible without having to pay. (Original) Prachtige doorgang onder de straten van dole, vrij toegankelijk zonder te hoeven betalen.

(Translated by Google) The current washhouse dates back to the 19th century, having undergone several modifications between 1789 and 1864. Abandoned following the collapse of the vault, the site was sealed in 1953 by a concrete slab, before being restored and reopened to the public in 1986. The passageway today constitutes a picturesque shortcut linking the city center to the Little Venice of Dole. A curiosity not to be missed! (Original) Le lavoir actuel remonte au XIXᵉ siècle, ayant connu plusieurs aménagements entre 1789 et 1864. Abandonné à la suite de l'effondrement de la voûte, le site fut scellé en 1953 par une dalle de béton, avant d’être restauré et rouvert au public en 1986. Le passage constitue aujourd’hui un raccourci pittoresque reliant le centre-ville à la Petite Venise de Dole. Une curiosité à ne pas manquer !

(Translated by Google) A very dirty place when I was there, like almost everywhere in the city... It's a shame (Original) Un endroit très sale lors de mon passage, comme un peu partout dans la ville d'ailleurs... C'est dommage

(Translated by Google) Special place, accessible via tunnel. Great as part of a walking tour through Dole. Also called the cave of the Lepers. (Original) Bijzondere plek, via tunneltje te bereiken. Prima als onderdeel tijdens rondwandeling door Dole. Heet ook wel de grot van de Melaatsen.

(Translated by Google) Too bad the water isn't as clear, a lack of cleanliness (Original) Dommage que l'eau n'est pas n'est pas aussi limpide un manque de propreté

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!

Really impressive chateau that is in good condition. Beautiful garden with a nice view of the chateau. The guided tour is interesting, but be aware that they only do a French tour. For the non French speaking they have a booklet which you can follow while following the tour, which sometimes is a bit tedious. The tour guide however is very nice and can explain in English if you ask!

Great castle for a couple of hours or longer if you want. Entry price about right and lovely greeting from the gentleman at the ticket booth. Lovely little village for lunch and great walks outside the castle grounds too including cycle path and ponds.

Really peaceful day out, people working here were so friendly and although small we spent a good couple of hours here in the gardens as well as the small amount inside. Some great pictures in one of the barns of the restoration that started in 1980 with plenty of then and now photos. Situated in a quiet little area with nice cafes right outside. Parking was ample on our visit and entry fee reasonable for the visit. Very relaxing day

I was fascinated with the decor. Unlike anything I've seen, every square inch on walls and ceiling were painted and or decorated in detail. The paint itself glowed, so beautiful in the sunlight. The grounds were gorgeous too, the maze and peacock house were nice surprises.

old large, and well kept better to visite on a sunny day.

Beautiful gardens to stroll and a nice 45-minute guided tour of the chateau (spoken in French but can request notebook translation in other languages). The tour guide will ring the bell in the square with the well so you can wonder around without fear of missing the tour. Parking available right next to the entrance. Several charming restaurants right outside of the chateau to get a drink or eat before or afterward your visit.

Always worth a visit (this our second). Great grounds and guided tour (in French). Fantastic interiors and less than half the price of an equivalent National Trust property in UK ! Highly recommended

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 ⭐️

Beautiful Abbey. The 3D displays and movies show how splendid this Abbey has been. Audiotour recommended

Used to be the center of Christendom. Mostly ruins, but still lots there to see. Amazing digital recreations of the Abbey. Never really understood that until the 1400's this was the largest cathedral in Christendom - much bigger than St. Peters of that day. A combination of religious politics and the reformation in France changed all that. Much of the Abbaye was destroyed during the reformation. The digital exhibit expertly guides you through the transformation of the Abbaye over time.

Cool Abbey with a nice history. Surprised at how influencial it was over the years. Audio tour worth getting though it's a little clunky.

Layers of history are on display, with excellent 3D displays showing past-to-present contrasts and changes. Look out for the freestanding screens placed around; move and touch them to see the hidden layers. It's cool even on a very hot day, so it offers a break from the summer heat.

Going there was not super planned for us on our holidays. But it absolutely was worth it! The place is spectacular. Super big with nice explanations and visuals on how it looked once it was build. We were really in the atmosphere of medieval period !

This beautiful little town has a lot to offer if you're cruising through the back roads of Burgundy, and the Abbey is a spectacular way to spend the day if you enjoy history and ancient buildings. Besides the ruins and restorations, there are 3D films and models to dazzle you. Don't skimp on adding the Tour des Fromages toi your visit (spoiler alert - it's nothing to do with cheese). Don't be put off by the declaration of how many steps there are to climb, the view is worth it.

It is unfortunate that a majority of the place was dismantled and sold off. The place is in a constant state of renovation. There was a nice film explaining the history and the audio guide helped walk us through what was left on the place. Stepping outside and seeing where the footings are represented on the ground shows the shadow of the size of the Abby at one time. So little is left that I don’t know if the money to learn about it is worth it.

Very nice garden and very informative tour (in French..), beautiful castle even if it is quite "new", well worth a visit and very helpful and nice staff/guide..

Beautiful place to visit & have a picknick in the garden looking out at the chateau

The tour of 90 minutes was a bit too long and dull for our taste. The castle and interior are beautiful though, and our kids enjoyed seeing all the different rooms. Still, a faster pace would have been better, for us.

A great visit if you're in the area. A beautiful lived in home. One of the few lived in chateaus which is well taken care of. Like similar castles in the UK, this is a home. There are pictures of family amongst the rooms.

Good.especially after 2145pm.

A wonderful gem set in the Brionnais and rescued and furnished by the generosity of a 21st century descendant of Napoleon. Wonderful guide and stunning gardens...a must see.

Beautiful setting for a country house château. Rooms are well furnished but not original fixtures. A magnificent restoration since 1995.

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 arrived knowing the museum was closed but wanted to have a shop for a few bottles from the Beaujolais selection. The shop was extremely quiet but we found a very accommodating staff member who allowed us to taste 6 wines at the bar/restaurant and then choose our favourites to buy. This staff member (sorry we didn’t catch your name) gave us 5 star level service. He truly made our day. Thanks Mr. Gentleman Kindly (not his real name).

As a tour guide I need to say that this place is one of the most wonderful places I have been. If you want to see the history and enjoy the beautiful Beaujolais, you must visit this place

Really fun afternoon! They have put a lot of effort into creating a fun way to learn about wine with an amazing collection of artifacts and great attractions. Really made me appreciate the history of wine in the region and enough going on to keep the kids going until the all important wine tasting! (Which would not happen at a normal vineyard where they would last about 5 mins!)

Not as big as expected but it was great for adults and kids. I loved the bee ride and the outside area for the kids.

An interesting museum dealing with just about every aspect of wine, from bottling to transportation to tasting and everything in-between. It has a few interactive areas to appeal to children, although I'm not sure how many would really appreciate this museum. There is also an included wine tasting with 2 wines. So why did I only give 3 stars? As an English speaker with weak French skills, there were a number of plaques without any English translation. But most importantly, I found the museum rather pricey: €20. There are 4 areas to view: The hamlet, the train station, the gardens and the wine cellar. When I came on October 10, the garden and wine cellar had just closed for the year, but I still had to pay full price. I'm sorry, but paying full price for half of the displays doesn't sit well with me.

Intreating museum about the wine district and process of making wine. Sometimes it's a bit to much of a Comercial for wine ! (No mentioning of the bad sides of wine directly)

Nicely done. Service, movies and 2 glasses of wine with great sommelier. Did not care much about the plant and lack of info about winery. But would recommend overall

Rude unhelpful staff and arrogant life guards who spent their time messing about rather than doing their job. We were wearing swimming trunks but told these were prohibited as unhygienic, despite this being lake water complete with ducks and even a water rat!!! Ridiculous non-sensical rules and rigorously enforced and the only thing that the lifeguards actually engaged in. Avoid!

The area here is not quite famous for a refreshing dip on hot summer days, but you take what you get. As long as you don’t want to end up like a sardine in the surveilled area next to the parking space, you should not have a problem with wading through the mud when entering the lake. The water is not really cold, but let’s pretend you can refresh a little on warmer days. It is very nice for a walk in the woods on the other, less frequented side. SUP and pedal boat rental is not on the side of the parking space, you either have to swim or walk to the other side, also passing the aerial adventure park - which could also be a nice attraction for kids. You can also find a restaurant and an ice cream parlour. Besides the parking fee the access to the lake is free of charge, though you may find a separate lido having an entrance fee.

The official website says pool open in June from 11h to 18h. We get there at 17:30 for a quick swim but the pool was already closed.

I'm inlove with this place, especially the smell of fresh nature. You can do a lot of activities, swimming, biking, fishing, camping, horse riding, etc. You will love to go back again and again to this place. 🥰🥰🥰

Very nice, good infrastructure, prices ok, parking free if you stay late.

Nice place to retreat from the sun with a E3 entry fee more than worth it for the lake.

Life changing experience

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.

(Translated by Google) Ugh, a money making machine.... I came there with my partner. (54 years and a little more for her for information, for a meal show, our Christmas present) Friendly welcome and immediately afterwards, obligation to take a photo with "2" artists, which you can buy for €9. Apero worthy of... I don't have a name, Lidl or Aldi is better! : Auvergne Taost (one passage to spread out, one to pick up what is placed on the Taost) Punch... without alcohol or very little, and without taste... except sugar. The basic STARTER, the dish - chicken fillet - just not good: chicken pierced in Saumur, dirty and waterlogged... so very, even too tender to be of good quality. Just spiced up with a porcini mushroom sauce. The accompaniment was supposed to be polenta...semolina. Before the cheese - disgusting and bland - and the frozen 🍨, another obligatory photo for €9. The coffee worthy of the neighborhood fair to finish... Well, we're old - not too old anyway - and we like good things, maybe the show will be better. I forgot something, express meal... followed by the show, not at the same time!!!! And yes, they offer the possibility of only coming for the show (to make more money) So the show: Animation by recorded tape to get in the mood throughout the evening, artists who are good, but who only reproduce what was asked of them. Édith Piaf, I like 2 to 3 minutes, but 15 minutes is a long time.... The girls,... pretty but mediocre show.... Mixture of children's show and nonsense fair. Anyway, after 25 minutes of show we left. I don't understand why you have such a rating. It seems that the food is not important and neither is the quality of the show. We have had other evenings of this type, for much less money and much better. 199€ for 2 + 37 euros for 2 glasses of champagne. Yes, if you want to change dessert, it’s €5!!! No photos because prohibited and very often recalled by the soundtrack (it's better to pay €9 for it 🤣🤣🤣) Conclusion: flee this place!!! (Original) Bof, une machine à faire du fric.... J'y suis venu avec ma compagne. (54 ans et un peu plus pour elle pour info, pour un repas spectacle, notre cadeau de Noël) Acceuil sympa et tout de suite après, obligation de faire une photo avec "2" artistes, que l'on vous propose d'acheter à 9€. Apero digne de ... j'ai pas de nom, lidl ou aldi c'est meilleur ! : Taost à l'auvergnat (un passage pour étaler, un pour ramasser ce qui est posé sur le Taost) Punch... sans alcool ou tres peu, et sans goût... si ce n'est le sucre. L'ENTRÉE basique, le plat -filet de poulet- juste pas bon : du poulet piqué au Saumur, sale et gorgé d'eau... donc très, voir trop tendre pour être de bonne qualité. Tout juste relevé par un sauce aux cèpes. L'accompagnement était censé être de la polenta... de la semoule. Avant le fromage - dégueulasse et fade- et le 🍨 congelé , une autre photo obligatoire pour 9€. Le café digne de la kermesse de quartier pour finir... Bon, on est âgé - pas trop quand même- et on aime les bonnes choses, peut être que le spectacle sera mieux. J'oubliais un truc, repas express... suivi du spectacle, pas en même temps !!!! Et oui, ils offrent la possibilité de ne venir que pour le spectacle (pour faire plus de fric) Donc le spectacle : Animation par bande enregistrée pour se mettre dans l'ambiance tout au long de la soirée, artistes qui sont bon, mais qui ne font que reproduire ce que leur a demandé. Édith piaf, j'aime bien, 2 à 3 minutes, mais 15 minutes c'est long.... Les filles,.... jolies mais spectacle bof.... Mélange de show pour enfants et foire a la nullité. Bref, apres 25 minutes de spectacle nous sommes partis. Je ne comprends pas pourquoi vous avez une telle note. A croire que la nourriture n'est pas importante et que la qualité du spectacle non plus. Nous avons fait d'autres soirées de ce type, pour bien moins cher et beaucoup mieux. 199€ pour 2 + 37 euros les 2 coupes de champagne. A oui, si vous souhaitez changer de dessert, c'est 5 € !!! Pas de photos car interdit et très souvent rappelé par la bande son (c'est mieux de la payer 9€ 🤣🤣🤣) Conclusion : fuyez cet endroit !!!

(Translated by Google) Magical moment! We were made very welcome and shown to our table. After the aperitif, we started the meal. At 2 p.m. the show started. It's magical. The dancers are truly professional. Their costumes are splendid. And the singer really took us into her story! We are delighted to have seen this very beautiful spectacle which really has nothing to envy of those in Paris. Congratulations to your entire team. (Original) Moment magique! Nous avons été très bien accueillis et conduits à notre table. Après l'apéritif, nous avons débuté le repas. A 14 h le spectacle a commencé. Il est magique. Les danseuses et danseurs sont vraiment professionnels . Leurs costumes sont splendides. Et la chanteuse nous a vraiment emporté dans son histoire ! Nous sommes ravis d'avoir vu ce très beau spectacle qui n'a vraiment rien à envier à ceux de Paris. Bravo à toute votre équipe.

(Translated by Google) The show far exceeded my expectations. I never tired of admiring all the costumes, the singer’s voice was just sublime and the quality of the performances was really top notch. Once the show was over, I only wanted to come back with friends and show them the cabaret you want. Congratulations for this beautiful production (Original) Le spectacle a de loin dépassé mes attentes. Je ne me lassais pas d’admirer tous les costumes, la voix de la chanteuse était juste sublime et la qualité des performances était vraiment top. Une fois le spectacle était terminé, je n’avais qu’une envie, à revenir avec des amis et leur faire découvrir le cabaret voulez vous. Bravo pour cette belle production

(Translated by Google) The staff from reception for reservations, to service, to the establishment manager, to the artists on stage and to the photographer, are really very professional, available and friendly. My partner dreamed of discovering a “traditional” cabaret show. She loved this quality magazine. We had a great time on January 1, 2024. I had booked for the photo with the artists at the end of the show. That's when I proposed. Thank you to the entire team for their support in this unique event. (Original) Le personnel de l'accueil pour la réservation, au service, au responsable d'établissement, aux artistes sur scène au photographe, est vraiment très pro, disponible et sympathique. Ma compagne rêvait de découvrir un spectacle de cabaret "traditionnel". Elle a adoré cette revue de qualité. Nous avons passé un excellent moment ce premier janvier 2024. J'avais réservé pour la photo avec les artistes à la fin du spectacle. C'est à se moment là que j'ai fais ma demande en mariage. Merci à toute l'équipe pour son accompagnement dans cet évènement unique.

(Translated by Google) Great gift from our children, everything was excellent and a magnificent show, I highly recommend. (Original) Super cadeau fait par nos enfants, tout était excellent et spectacle magnifique, je recommande fortement.

(Translated by Google) Very nice evening spent at the Vous vous! The warm welcome and attentive servers. The meal was very good quality, although there was a downside to the drinks service (champagne served at the next table and a carafe forgotten, but all that was taken care of). Special mention for the Utopia show! Rather modern musical comedy, with songs, dances, and much more, in which the public is invited to participate. (Original) Très belle soirée passée au Voulez vous ! L'accueil chaleureux et les serveurs au petit soins. Le repas était très bonne qualité, bémol toutefois sur le service des boissons (champagne servi à la table d'à côté et carafe oubliée, mais tout cela a été réglé). Mention spéciale pour le spectacle Utopia! Comédie musicale plutôt moderne, avec chants, danses, et bien d'autres, dans laquelle le public est invitéàparticiper.

(Translated by Google) Visited twice this year for the Utopia shows in February and Idoles for New Year's Day. To do at least once. Delicious meal by chef Torres (if I remember correctly). Very friendly team. Nice drinks menu. Reasonable prices. Stunning spectacle. Magnificent dancers. Beautiful choreography. A singer with a voice to die for. Everyone there is friendly. The room is large and well appointed. I will go back as soon as possible to see the Caprice show. Glitter from the lights of music (Original) Visité deux fois cette année pour les spectacles Utopia en février et Idoles pour le jour de l'an. À faire au moins une fois. Repas délicieux par le chef Torrès ( si j'ai bien retenu) . Equipe fort sympathique. Jolie carte des boissons. Des prix raisonnables. Spectacle époustouflant. Magnifiques danseurs et danseuses. Belles chorégraphies. Une chanteuse avec une voix à tomber. Tout le monde y est sympathique. La salle est grande et bien agencée. J'y retournerai dès que possible pour voir le spectacle Caprice. Des paillettes des lumières de la musique

Nice place to with family and friends..You must be early to visit all,bcoz it's a wide big place. We been last 19 April 2025.

The food is realy horrible. Vegetables taste bad, nearly pureed. Pasta was hard (burned) burgers were dry, hardly any Meat on them and french Fries are extra. Le comptoir des colibris is as bad as the park is good. Bring your own food and enjoy the beautifull park

Generally a beautiful park, very green and nicely designed when it comes down to aesthetics and topics. Parking was easy and well managed. Loads of staff trying to fill the parking lot in a way that makes sense, friendly and clear in their expressions. As with any park, there is a lot of walking involved and especially for small kids you'll need to be prepared to bring a pushchair. The toilets were absolutely yucky. I was only in the men's toilets, but it smells of wee everywhere, you're literally walking in it, the whole floor is covered in it. I know men can be yuk but some of those toilet I really wouldn't be surprised if they haven't been cleaned in a while or are leaking. I have never seen so much dodgy liquid on the floor. It really reeked. Some toilets have massive queues, not just the ladies', also the men's toilets. What surprised me though is, that our friends' daughters tried to get to the ladies and were trying to find a free cubical and three (!!!) ladies were so rude and pushed them out of the way. (which would be another downside, in some toilets you can literally see the cubical doors when you stand on the path). Shops/coffee and food stalls are understaffed. Particularly during high traffic periods. I.e. there was a bird show to begin in the arena and there was a massive (seriously, it was huge) queue trying to get in. There was a food/coffee stall with two windows, only one window was open. One lady was working and the first thing she said was, that she had no coffee as they ran out. When the show ended, the queue at that shop was huge, by then the second shopkeeper didn't make much of a difference. Same with the bbq restaurant we got there just before the lunch storm hit and we already had to wait about 20min to get our order and the queue started just behind the door (so really not long). By the time we finished and walked out, the queue was around the corner alongside the building, who knows how long they had to wait. One till. Having two people using the same cash machine is not really efficient. They'd need at least 3, then the queue started on the pick-up side, because the chicken needed longer cooking times. So all in all not very efficient. Two coffee machines (you get a coin at the till) but one machine had an error message in French (needed maintenance, but was still working), that many people couldn't read nor knew how to get rid of the error message. So people started queue on the other coffee machine. A few other food stalls were closed, it was a hot day, I think about 34°C. Hardly any shade anywhere. So in order to get some drinks, a couple of grown-ups had to walk through half the park to get something for the rest of the group, as we tried to find shade with the little kids. If you are not planning the visit ahead, try to avoid too sunny days. Bird show was OK. A bit disappointing that they have so much staff in that arena but then decide to just play a boring recording and then let the birds fly. Other parks actually talk about the birds and give facts about the specific birds on display, also are interactive with the crowd. Here you just sit down, a tape plays, trainers let the birds fly over your head, then they sit down in the middle of the arena and all birds walk out like in a circus good-bye. Not impressed. The range of animals is quite impressive. And beautiful birds, that seem to be kept in good conditions and clean. Butterfly house, and there was a penguin/fish area, which unfortunately was shut down and we couldn't find access to the Australian area with the kangaroos which our daughters desperately wanted to see. The only path we could find to go there seemed to be closed with a gate but no further information. It's also advisable to follow a set path. Going to see what interest you may be too chaotic and it's easy to get lost in the park. Also walking everything multiple times is suboptimal. Oh one more thing... to get out of the park: ONE (!!!) turnstile. Why they didn't just open the bloody gate is beyond me. We had to QUEUE (!!!) to leave the park. Ridiculous.

Good place to spend the day with the family. Make sure to buy your ticket ahead of time or you may be waiting in line for a long time. They are not very organized. The place is in need of renovations, bathrooms are old, dirty.

Our 3rd visit to this park. We love it. Our kids love it. My folks love it. Always something new to see. Always clean. The birds and other animals seem happy and well cared for. Saw one of the shows this time - for the first time - and it was brilliant. We will be going again on our next trip to the area.

Wonderful experience! The bird park is quite good, clean, safe for kids! I recommend. We even bought annual card for 45 euros.

Great place to see birds. However, you should bring your own food and drink because the snack bars there are horrible.

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.
