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 soak up 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. Locals are also likely to point you in the direction of Dole, 25 miles away. If you only see one thing here, make sure it’s Ile du Girard Nature Reserve. (But we’d also recommend Musee Pasteur and Collegiale of Notre-Dame.)
