Car Hire in Bourg En Bresse - Mini guide to Bourg En Bresse

Bourg En Bresse

A pleasant town in the Rhone-Alpes region of Southeastern France, just beside the Jura mountain range, Bourg En Bresse was the capital of the former province of Bresse. The city is close to the regional hub of Lyon, and is within close proximity to Geneva, Switzerland.

Not much evidence exists that tells us about the early history of the town, though Roman ruins have been unearthed in the area. The city is still dominated by 16th century buildings like the Notre-Dame cathedral, a church built in both the Gothic and Renaissance styles. The Brou church is also one of the prime tourist sights in the town, with relics and decorations inside dating back to the 15th century.

The city of Bourg En Bresse and its surrounding region have long been known as agricultural centres, producing various materials and goods such as iron, earthenware, soap and mineral water. Keeping large pens of livestock has been common here for centuries, and many of the region’s famous recipes come from this practice, such as poulet de Bresse, and Bresse blue cheese.

Without any serious calamity having hit the town since before it became part of France, the ambiance is of quiet tradition, which makes it a perfect stop on any car hire tour of this part of France.
