Question 1

What are the major attractions in Chalon-sur-Saone?

Accepted Answer

If your trip to Chalon-sur-Saone is all locked in but your travel itinerary is looking a bit empty, let us give you a helping hand.

Near the city center, Abbaye de la Ferte is one attraction to consider adding to your must-see list. If you still have some room on your travel itinerary, Musee Denon and Chalon Cathedral will keep you amused too.

Question 2

What are the best road trip destinations near Chalon-sur-Saone?

Accepted Answer

With some great day trip options in the surrounding area, having your own car makes good sense. Without one, it wouldn't be half as easy to explore all that Beaune, 17 miles away, has to offer. Chateau de Pommard should be at the top of your list here. Savigny-les-Beaune Castle and Burgundy Wine Museum are also not to be missed. Locals will also probably point you toward Nuits-Saint-Georges, 25 miles away. If you can only see one thing here, let it be Château du Clos de Vougeot. (But we're also big fans of Domaine de la Romanee-Conti and L'Imaginarium.)
