In Brancion, discover the splendours of the Middle Ages

In the heart of the Romanesque road linking the abbeys of Tournus and Cluny, perched on a rocky spur, Brancion welcomes you and takes you on a journey of discovery of a dreamed-of Middle Ages: fortified gateway, dungeon dominating the village and the Romanesque church, exceptional panoramic views and strolls in an entirely pedestrian site.
The castle was built by the lords of Brancion between the 10th and 13th centuries, then by the Dukes of Burgundy in the 14th century. From the dungeon you have a breathtaking view of the 16th century market hall and the 12th century church of Saint-Pierre (wall paintings).
The visit of the castle is not free: with an audioguide, at your own pace. A game of investigation and costumes are available for children at no extra cost.
The visit of the village and the church is free.
