Montagny-Lès-Beaune’s architectural heritage is primarily rural: its most notable examples are farm complexes with unmortared stone walls and stone-slab roofs. The small Gothic parish church can also be identified by specific architectural features. Water activities and a visit with Crémant tasting offer other points of interest. This gives you different interests to consider when planning your trip, from architectural history to water-based activities.
Farm complexes and the village landscape
The farm complexes form the core of the architectural heritage. Their courtyards are enclosed by unmortared stone walls, and their roofs are covered with stone slabs. These features reveal different aspects of the construction: the enclosed courtyard and the buildings’ roofing. The most notable examples are in the hamlets of Le Poil and La Borde-au-Bureau.
A farm complex at 6 Rue de l'Eglise is particularly notable in the village landscape for its architecture and size. The subject therefore encompasses both recurring features of the farm buildings and a single structure whose size stands out in the village landscape. If you are interested in architecture, comparing these two perspectives offers a tangible way to explore the village landscape.
The Gothic parish church
The parish church of Montagny-Lès-Beaune is a small Gothic building; it is believed to have been consecrated in 1469. Its date is therefore noted as uncertain. The floor plan is shaped like a Latin cross and consists of a single-nave body, a small transept and a choir with a flat end.
The architectural elements make the layout easy to understand: the nave forms the main longitudinal section, the transept creates the side arm, and the choir ends flat. Unlike the farm complexes, the focus here is on a different building type. You can therefore explore the enclosed courtyards and the clearly structured church as distinct architectural themes.
Water: Les Genièvres and Beaune Côté Plage
The body of water Les Genièvres lies in the north-west of the Montagny-Lès-Beaune municipal area and serves as a nautical base. The lake and its water sports activities are easily accessible from Beaune on foot, by bicycle, bus or car. If you are travelling from Beaune, check current routes and transport options for your journey, as these may change.
Beaune Côté Plage is a swimming facility with natural water filtration, an area of 3,000 m² and four pools. The water activities can therefore be distinguished by their stated purpose: Les Genièvres serves as a nautical base with water sports activities, while Beaune Côté Plage is designed as a swimming facility with pools. The swimming facility’s availability is seasonal and may change; therefore, check visit options for your travel dates.
Beaune Côté Plage is accessible to people with reduced mobility. Before visiting, check the practical arrangements to ensure this information meets your individual requirements.
Visit with Crémant tasting
A visit to Veuve Ambal’s production site ends with a tasting of three different house Crémant de Bourgogne cuvées. The experience thus combines a visit to the production site with a clearly defined tasting finale.
