This small, remote village hosted a large religious community, including the Benedictines of Gigny from 974 to 1359.

The Chanelet belvedere or Gizia cross belvedere offers superb views of the valley, the Bresse plain, and even the Côte-d'Or on a clear day.

Châtel is intimately linked to the history of the Via Cluny paths. This quiet little village has housed a large religious community. Marked by the presence of the Benedictines of Gigny from 974 to 1359, Manassès III de Coligny made Châtel a Benedictine priory linked to the abbey of Gigny. The abbey of Cluny then named "the prior of Châtel", while the church of Saint-Etienne de Châtel became the seat of a vast parish.

Located at the end of the remote Gizia, the belvedere offers a superb view. Remember to look up, maybe you will see a peregrine falcon!
