Discover Ligny-En-Brionnais

Ligny-En-Brionnais offers a range of options for a trip focused on nature trails, architecture and local produce. Heavily shaded paths, weekly walks and several distinct architectural styles give you specific themes to consider when planning. A farm shop is another local offering.

Walk along shady paths

The PDIPR trail network in Ligny-En-Brionnais includes heavily shaded walking trails used by walkers, horse riders and cyclists. These three ways of using the trails give you a concrete starting point when deciding whether walking, riding or cycling should be the focus of your trip. This lets you tailor your stay to your interests without limiting the trails to just one way of getting around.

Weekly walks are also organised in Ligny-En-Brionnais. If you want to plan your travel days around them, check the relevant date. This lets you include the walking programme in your plans without assuming a specific event day.

Discover the church architecture

The church of Ligny-En-Brionnais has a single-nave nave, a shortened transept and an apse. Two chapels open off the south side of the nave. Distinguish between the architectural elements: the single-nave nave is a central, longitudinal church space without side aisles; the transept runs across this longitudinal axis. The apse closes off the building.

Another detail to look out for is the listed 18th-century marble altar bearing the coat of arms of the de Vichy family. Its material, date and coat of arms are specific details that identify the altar among the church’s furnishings. Access may vary during religious services. Check whether visits are possible before your trip.

The abbey and the Chapel of Saint-Amable

The surviving buildings of Saint-Rigaud Abbey have been converted into private homes and are privately owned.

The Chapel of Saint-Amable has a different scale and form: it is a small, semicircular building. There is a rectangular door on the side and a pointed-arch opening in the façade. An oculus is on the opposite side. This small building thus brings together rectangular, pointed and round forms.

An oculus is a round opening. The term helps distinguish this feature from the pointed-arch opening in the façade, without confusing the two forms. Architecture enthusiasts can therefore find a variety of scales and shapes in the church and chapel, while the buildings of Saint-Rigaud are shaped by their current use.

Farm-gate cheese sales

La Ferme Lignerotte sells cheese made from cow’s milk, goat’s milk or a mixture of both. You can choose between cheese made from one type of milk and a blend. Check the sales arrangements and availability before visiting.
