The ancient church of Ameugny fascinated me on my first visit to Taizé in 1974. The church of St. Pierre in Brançion is similarly interesting.

The picturesque place of worship, built in a simple Romanesque style, is located in the small hamlet of Lys. The church was built in the early 12th century (approximately between 1100 and 1150) by Benedictine monks from the Abbey of Saint-Philibert in Tournus. Later, it came under the influence of the famous Cluny Abbey. Typical of rural Romanesque art in Burgundy, the building made of unplastered natural stones has a very simple structure. It has a single, narrow nave, a distinctive square bell tower with a saddle roof (bâtière), and a semicircular apse.

The Saint-Martin church in Chapaize is a beautiful, old church. Its huge, 35-meter-high tower can be seen from afar. The church was built almost 1000 years ago in the Romanesque style, it has thick stone walls and round arches.
