Archaeology handicrafts and science and technology sites to visit Saône-Et-Loire

It would be a pity if you did not take advantage of this magnificent herbal landscape, several of which will allow you to discover the clearing clearing trail and its totem trail, a picnic area with tables and barbecue and a fishing course. But you also porrez, on 26 hectares of which 5 ha of pond, the arboretum of Pézanin, one of the richest in France, admires nearly 400 species of trees and rare essences in a remarkable setting. Created in 1903 by the family of Vilmorin, which became the property of the state in 1935, managed by the O.N.F. (National Forestry Office) since 1969, the arboretum proposes three marked circuits and a plant label facilitating a didactic visit. In particular, a hétérophile oak (which has two kinds of leaves), a collection of 37 varieties of maple from Japan, China and North America, bald cypresses and their pneumatophores roots, which allow them not to suffocate in marsh areas. Despite the storms of 1982,1983 and 1999, all these rare specimens resisted. Good ideas for a pleasant day.

Behind his abbey and stone walls, Cluny is a mysterious city. What do these walls contain? Who were the people who lived there? This is what you are proposing to discover the clunisian owners, the time of this unusual visit. In turn, they will open up these mysterious doors that contain very different universes, and tell you the stories that took place there. The reservation is made at the Tourist Office of the city.
