Eglise Saint-Martin et croix devant l'église

Granges is located at the foot of the Chalonnaise coast, between Buxy and Givry, near the RD 977, on an ancient Gallo-Roman site of 50 hectares. In the VIth century, Queen Brunehaut gave Granges to the abbey of Saint Martin d'Autun, which set up a
priory. It is a place of storage of grain: the name Granges comes from the Latin "granica" (grain). In 1570, the land is alienated to Nicolas de Pontoux, lawyer in Chalon. In 1769, Dame Marie de Lavigne (external tombstone (1) at the site of the old vestry) brings it as a dowry to Jean-Louis Bernigaud, lieutenant of the bailiwick, deputy to the States-General of 1789
The Romanesque church of Granges, dedicated to Saint Martin and Saint Eloi, dates from the first half of the 12th century. With the cross of 1720 decorated with a heart that faces it, it is registered in 1990 in the Supplementary Inventory of Historic Monuments. The sacristy is a 19th century construction. To be seen in the apse, paintings from the 16th century, paintings by François Périer, known as le Bourguignon (17th century)
