With some great day trip options available in the surrounding area, renting a car makes good sense. Without one, it wouldn’t be half as easy to experience everything that Chalon-sur-Saone, 25 miles away, has to offer. Abbaye de la Ferte, Musee Denon and Chalon Cathedral alone make the drive out here worthwhile. The locals are also likely to point you in the direction of Chatillon-sur-Chalaronne, 30 miles away. If you can only find time for one thing here, let it be Espace Bel Air. (But we’re also huge fans of Castle of Chatillon-sur-Chalaronne and Traditions Museum.)
