Tips from the Community
The Col de Beaufer is located in the Monts du Mâconnais, west of Tournus in the Saône-et-Loire department. With a height of only 303 meters, it is more of a gentle transition between the hills of the Tournugeois than a distinct mountain pass. The surrounding area is characterized by forests, meadows, and the typical wine landscapes of southern Burgundy. The pass is the starting point for several hiking and mountain biking trails, which lead through Plottes and the surrounding hills, among other places. The area "Le Cra et Col de Beaufer" is also designated as an ecologically valuable nature zone and covers around 982 hectares.

The Roman Catholic Church of St-Gervais-St-Protais in the municipality of Ozenay is an outstanding example of regional medieval architecture. A first church building on this site was already mentioned in documents around the year 950. The current building was largely built in the 12th century in two construction phases by the canons of Chalon. The transept, the choir, and the last bay of the nave (Nef) are the oldest parts and date from the mid-12th century. The first three bays of the nave were added towards the end of the 12th century.
