Chalon Sur Saone

With a convenient location in the heart of the renowned Burgundy region, Chalon Sur Saone is a popular tourist destination both for those into art and architecture as well as the activity-loving bunch. The town boasts many beautiful churches, castles and stunning museums while opportunities to taste real Burgundy wines are endless.

One of the main landmarks in Chalon is the Cathedral of St Vincent, a former Catholic cathedral in the heart of the old quarter. Some parts of the building date to the 8th century while the impressive neoclassical façade was built in the 19th century. A trip to Chalon isn’t complete without a visit to this church, which was declared a national monument of France in 1903.

The old quarter of town, where the church is situated, is also worth exploring. Stroll along narrow cobbled streets and indulge in the serenity of the atmosphere and beauty of the charming, half-timbered houses and lovely, contemporary fountain.

Chalon Sur Saone isn’t known as the ‘town of the image’ for nothing. It was here where the inventor of the photography process, Nicephore Niepce, was born, and the town is now home to the Photographic Museum. This amazing museum features various collections of photographs from past until present.

The town and nearby areas abounds with activities, from cycling, walking, rollerblading, golfing, and horseback riding to parachuting.
