There are also many gardens that offer beautiful walks, such as the Arboretum Domanial in Pézanin or the rose garden in the villages of France.
The Saône-et-Loire is also a department of culture, strewn with nearly 189 castles! The medieval castle of Couches (still called the castle of Marguerite de Bourgogne), the castle of Berzé- le-Châtel which protects the abbey of Cluny or the castle of Cormatin and its gardens are worth seeing.

The beautiful medieval village of Semur en Brionnais in France has the oldest castle in Burgundy. Lovers of old stones will love the visit. As the capital of Saône-et-Loire, Chalon-sur-Saône remains pleasant to visit, particularly its Place St Vincent and its beautiful half-timbered houses.
Finally, Autun remains a must for all visitors to the Saône-et-Loire. When you visit Autun, you will pass through thousands of years of history. Its fifty or so monuments listed in the inventory of historical monuments are particularly interesting and diversified, to mention only the Porte d'Arroux, the Ursulines tower, the Janus temple, the Couhard stone, the St Lazarre cathedral and the Roman theatre.
