Attractions and Places To See around Couches - Top 20

A hiking trail to the right circles the Hill of the Three Crosses. First uphill, as always, then a leisurely descent. Afterwards, a quick lunch with friendly people in Santenay's market square!

This spot is interesting not only for the view that can be enjoyed. For here, the hiker or walker encounters not just a simple wayside cross, but a complete crucifixion group has been erected in this exposed location: the white body of the crucified Christ stands out clearly against the brown tone of the crossbeams. In front of it, three other figures surround the incarnate Son of God. Both the cross and these figures stand individually on a rocky pedestal, probably made of granite. According to the biblical accounts of the execution of Jesus of Nazareth, the viewer can recognize Mary, the mother of Jesus, and the beloved disciple John, who, according to the gospel text, persevered beneath the cross. Directly opposite the cross is the third figure, depicted kneeling.

The name "Montagne de Trois Croix" already hinted at it, and so it's no real surprise to find more than just a summit cross up here, which – as is common in many places – crowns the mountain peak. The central cross, standing in the middle, points the observer to the execution of the incarnate Son of God, Jesus of Nazareth. According to biblical tradition, however, he was not condemned to death and crucified alone, but together with two criminals. Pope Francis, who died on Easter Monday, once composed the following prayer on this subject: "Help us, Son of Man, to free ourselves from the arrogance of the thief, the robber on your left, and of the short-sighted and the corrupt (...) Instead, we ask you, Son of God, to identify us with the good thief who looked at you with eyes full of shame, repentance, and hope; who, with the eyes of faith, saw divine victory in your apparent defeat and thus knelt before your mercy and grace and stole paradise with honesty and integrity.

Weather permitting, this spot offers a wonderful view. Two signs provide orientation. Dolmen sites around the mountain indicate that it played a role for humans as early as 5000 BC, but rare plants and animals also thrive here. Another unique feature is that the border between two departments runs here, so one of the three crosses is in Côte-d'Or and the other two in Saône-et-Loire.

The church of Saint-Laurent de Rully is located on the hill that extends to the castle and overlooks the village, whose houses are grouped at its feet along the river Thalie. As early as 920, Hervé de Vergy, appointed bishop of Autun, donated his villa Ruiliacum with the church to his chapter of Saint-Nazaire in his will. A recognition of dues to the hospital house of Bellecroix dated 1263 states that the church was already in its current location. The transept and choir were rebuilt in the first half of the 15th century and the choir was enlarged to its current size in 1749. After the south wall of the nave collapsed in 1849, the city authorities took advantage of the reconstruction work to extend the nave by 7 meters and renew the façade in the neo-Gothic style that we know today. Finally, in 1911, the bell tower and choir were raised.

There is a very good restaurant on the bridge with a view of the canal. Newly built winter garden. Highly recommended
