Departure from Royer (Saône-et-Loire)
This walk will take you from Royer to Brancion via the Chemin des Moines, at the heart of the Romanesque route linking the abbeys of Tournus and Cluny. Perched on a rocky outcrop, the village of Brancion has been inhabited for 3,000 years. Brancion welcomes you and invites you to discover an idyllic medieval world: a fortified gate, a keep overlooking the village and the Romanesque church, exceptional views and leisurely strolls through a completely pedestrianised area. Nestled in lush greenery, the castle is a place where time seems to have stood still.

Setting out on this walk means following in the footsteps of the men and women of yesteryear; it means experiencing first-hand what daily life was like in this valley. The hard work required to tame this land can still be felt in the places you pass through: the dry-stone walls lining the paths, built with patience; the wash houses weathered by the laundry so regularly scrubbed; the vines forced to take root in the soil…
