The Courlan viaduct spans the Vallière river. 338 meters long and 16 meters high, it has 16 arches. A beautiful structure to see along the Voie Bressane greenway.

Louhans, also known as Louhans-Châteaurenaud, is famous for its bustling poultry market, which hosts one of the largest in France every Monday. The renowned Poulet de Bresse contributes to its reputation.

The Voie Bressane is a beautiful cycle path that vaguely follows the Blaine valley. It is a pleasant route to take to avoid traffic jams.

Louhans, whose real name is Louhans-Châteaurenaud, hosts one of the largest poultry markets in France every Monday. It is the success of Bresse chicken which undoubtedly earned it this notoriety. Its main street is proud of its numerous shopping arcades, but Louhans is also a very lively town which offers a well-stocked cultural season each year with one show per month.

Actually, only the main route, the "Grande Rue", through the middle of the town is of interest. There are said to be 157 arcades with the old houses from the 15th century on both sides of the street. The third largest market (since 1269) in France takes place in Louhans (about 6400 inhabitants) every Monday. In addition to food, clothes and other goods, animals are also offered, in particular a poultry market with Bresse chickens.
