Burnand

Burnand is a charming village overlooked by Mount Péjus (380 m), which is notable for its biodiversity and classified as a Natura 2000 site. Covered with limestone grasslands, it is home to numerous plant and animal species that are protected in France (cicadas, butterflies, orchids, trees, numerous flowers and insects and large birds of prey such as the black kite and the royal kite). With its beautiful chateau (private, cannot be visited but easy to see), its two churches (the 11th century church of Saint-Nizier de Burnand classified as a Historic Monument, and the 11th century Romanesque chapel of Saint-Martin-de-Croix, which is distinguished by its open arch bell tower, unique in the region), its wash houses, its cadoles in the vineyards, Burnand is a very pleasant destination for a stroll. Along the "Mont Saint-Roch" Balade Verte, you can admire the medieval city of Saint-Gengoux-le-National from the statue of the Virgin.
