The Château de Saint-Point (also known as Château de Lamartine) in the Burgundy region originally dates from the 12th and 14th centuries. From 1820, it served as the residence for the famous French poet and politician Alphonse de Lamartine. Lamartine had the castle restored in the Anglo-Gothic style, which gives it its distinctive, romantic appearance with the round corner towers. It is a listed monument and can be visited as a museum.

The Voie Verte (Green Way) is a former, paved railway line. At the starting point in Charnay-lès-Mâcon is the Vélo-Gare du Mâconnais - a former train station, which today serves as a tourist office and bicycle rental.

The KKriegerdenkmal commemorates the fallen of the World Wars. In November 1943, the site played a role in the French Resistance when local Maquisards (resistance fighters) marched to the monument to lay a wreath, despite the German occupation.

The Église Saint-Barthélemy is a charming village church, rebuilt in the 19th century in the neo-Gothic style. It has a historical, considerably older bell tower in the Romanesque style. The church is part of the Roman Catholic parish of Sainte-Marie-sous-Dun in the Diocese of Autun.

The lake is located in the French region of Bourgogne-Franche-Comté, in the département of Doubs, at an altitude of around 850 meters. After Lac du Bourget and Lac d'Annecy, it is the third largest natural lake in France. It is a very popular swimming lake in the summer and offers opportunities for kayaking, windsurfing, and stand-up paddling. There is also a popular hiking trail around the entire lake, approximately 20 kilometers long.

The Castle of Berzé-le-Châtel (also known as Forteresse de Berzé) is the largest and best-preserved medieval castle in Southern Burgundy. The complex dates back to a 10th-century castrum and was strategically built on a rocky outcrop to protect the nearby powerful Abbey of Cluny. The fortress consists of three ring walls and features 13 towers (including two keeps/donjons) as well as an imposing gatehouse. The heart of the interior is a remarkable Carolingian chapel.
