Windmill

Highlight • Other

Long before the discovery of electricity and the inventions associated with it, our ancestors discovered the possibility of harnessing the power of the elements - which could be useful on the one hand, but could also be a threat as a force of nature on the other - for various purposes. A good example of the human inventiveness of earlier generations is such a mill: the heavy millstones used to grind grain or press oil, for example, could be powered by water or - as here - the wind. Hardly any of them still fulfil their original functions today, but fortunately some have at least survived as evidence of the old days.

Chénas

Highlight • Settlement

Chénas has the smallest vineyard in Beaujolais, but it's not the least important: legend has it that it's the only wine Louis XIII would accept at his table. It's also a charming village surrounded by hillsides.

A few hundred meters from the church of Saint-Amour-Bellevue, this orientation table takes advantage of its position to open up a wide panorama of the vineyards and the Saône which flows in the distance.
