Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Landscape and gastronomy
Vignobles du Beaujolais
The Beaujolais vineyards cover the hillsides of a mosaic of rows, agricultural paths and villages made of light stone. A road between Oingt, Beaujeu and the North Crus alternates panoramas, estates and small squares, with particularly marked colours in the spring and after harvest.
Mountain
Mont Brouilly
Mont Brouilly offers a large-format scene: plateaux, wood and variations of light that transform the landscape lines in depth. You quickly understand the interest of a sequenced path: a section of the trail, then a stop, then a climb on a wider point. Ideal for a day trip if time permits.
Village
Oingt
In Oingt, the hot materials of the local building are talking with perspectives that open up on the surrounding hillsides. The place is better read next to each other: a shopping street, a quiet passage, an inner courtyard. Colour contrasts are more legible when you spend a little time between alleys.
