Hiking
The Church of Bey seems isolated, far from the village.
Indeed, until 1698, it was the parish church of Garnerans and Bey.
At the time, it was right in the center of the parish.
On its promontory, it was the outpost of the Counts of Savoy, facing the Beaujolais enclave (Garnerans), which would be annexed to France in 1736, and facing Burgundy.
The Savoyard enclave of Bresse existed until 1601.
The Monspe family, who built the church, was the showcase of Savoy.
The richness of the church's interior decorations seems to be a hallmark of this.
