Travel Guide Saules

Between Culles-les-Roches, Chenôves and Saint-Boil, the village of Saules extends its territory beyond the departmental road towards the Voie Verte. Surrounded by vineyards, woods and meadows, Saules is the ideal place to discover the landscapes of the area through a Green Walk entitled "The 4 Bell Towers", allowing to cross the 4 villages mentioned at the beginning of this article. This walk will also be an opportunity to see the circular washhouse of the Masson fountain, one of the curiosities of Saules with its magnificent cadoles in the vineyards and the church of Saint-Hilaire.Saules occupies the site of an ancient feudal castle whose lords were allied in the 10th and 12th centuries to the powerful house of Brancion. Saules was then part of the lordship of La Rochette (on the land of Saint-Maurice-des-Champs). Anecdote: the daughter (Claude de Rymon) of the lord of la Rochette (Louis de Rymon), married in 1623 Charles de Chanlecy and they had a daughter (1624 - Anne-Charlotte) who married in second marriage (1659) the famous musketeer d'Artagnan. She was also a great-niece, through her father, of Pontus de Tyard.
