Charolles

Rivers, meadows and pastures. Charolles owes its charm to the rural setting of these farmlands. An ideal starting point for discovering numerous Romanesque churches is that it is, without doubt, the favourite place for meat lovers.

Le Bœuf de Charolles

There would be no "Bœuf de Charolles" without the green meadows of Charolais-Brionnais, without the geological and climatic specificities of these bocages, without this cradle of cattle breeding. Here the quality of the meat is in the terroir image. For all chefs, the Charolais is a must!

La Maison du Charolais

An emblematic wealth of the region, the Charolais breed has its museum! Maison du Charolais offers visits, activities and tastings to honour this exceptional breed of cattle. The museum area, shop and restaurant are a great discovery for gourmets.

Charolais and Brionnais, a common identity

Labelled "Pays d'art et d'histoire", Charolais-Brionnais combines its generous nature and rich heritage with talent. Breeding and history have shaped the landscapes. Everywhere, from hills to pastures, from villages to castles, stretches a greedy and picturesque territory.

"A Romanesque garden”

Charolais-Brionnais, Romanesque art high places, has more than 100 churches and chapels! This real open-air museum includes Paray-le-Monial, nicknamed  "la Cité du Sacré-Coeur". Criss-crossed by charming country roads, these lands offer one of France's most beautiful Romanesque art circuits.
