Discover Montagny-Lès-Beaune

In Montagny-lès-Beaune, farmsteads and a small Gothic parish church shape the architectural landscape; the Les Genièvres body of water is also located in the northwest of the commune. This offers different points of focus for planning your trip, from architectural styles to water sports. If you are looking for a hotel, you can first decide which of these interests you want to shape your stay.

Farmsteads and Church Architecture

The architectural heritage consists mainly of farmsteads. Their courtyards are enclosed by unpointed stone walls, and their roofs are made of stone slabs. The most notable examples are in the hamlets of Le Poil and La Borde-au-Bureau. The farmstead at 6 Rue de l'Eglise stands out particularly in the local landscape for its architecture and size. This identifies both an architectural style found in several hamlets and one individual example that is especially prominent in the local landscape.

The parish church of Montagny-lès-Beaune is a small Gothic building and is said to have been consecrated in 1469. Its floor plan follows a Latin cross: the single-nave body forms the main part, a small transept completes the cross shape, and the choir has a flat end. The term “Latin cross” describes the overall layout, while the nave, transept, and choir refer to the individual sections. When considering the architectural styles, you can distinguish between the church’s layout and the enclosed courtyards of the farmsteads.

Water and Swimming

Les Genièvres is in the northwest of the commune and serves as a nautical centre. The lake and its water sports activities are easy to reach from Beaune on foot, by bicycle, bus, or car. As routes and transport services may change, check the best connection before setting out. The options listed vary by mode of transport; no specific journey time is implied.

Beaune Côté Plage is a swimming complex featuring natural water filtration, an area of 3,000 m², and four pools. As availability may vary by season, check before your visit whether swimming is available during your travel dates. The complex is accessible to people with reduced mobility; check the practical arrangements before you arrive.

Crémant Tasting and Finding a Hotel

The tour of the Veuve Ambal production site ends with a tasting of three different house Crémant de Bourgogne cuvées. The tasting is therefore the specific conclusion of the tour. If you are interested in Crémant de Bourgogne, this part of the experience is included in the described itinerary and can be taken into account when planning a visit.

When looking for a hotel in Montagny-lès-Beaune, you can first decide whether to focus more on the farmsteads and church architecture, or on water sports, swimming, and the Crémant tasting. These topics offer different starting points for planning your trip: architectural styles and the local landscape alongside activities by the water and a tasting.
