Tips from the Community
The Coureau chapel, a former Cluniac priory-hermitage, has today been transformed into a dwelling. It retains the Romanesque choir of the former church, the apse of which is typical of Cluny.

The Col de Beaufer is located in the Monts du Mâconnais, west of Tournus in the Saône-et-Loire department. With a height of only 303 meters, it is more of a gentle transition between the hills of the Tournugeois than a distinct mountain pass. The surrounding area is characterized by forests, meadows, and the typical wine landscapes of southern Burgundy. The pass is the starting point for several hiking and mountain biking trails, which lead through Plottes and the surrounding hills, among other places. The area "Le Cra et Col de Beaufer" is also designated as an ecologically valuable nature zone and covers around 982 hectares.

Visible from the path is a well-preserved apse with part of the nave of Romanesque origin, which has been integrated into an agricultural outbuilding. Unfortunately, no further information could be found. Private property.

The picturesque place of worship, built in a simple Romanesque style, is located in the small hamlet of Lys. The church was built in the early 12th century (approximately between 1100 and 1150) by Benedictine monks from the Abbey of Saint-Philibert in Tournus. Later, it came under the influence of the famous Cluny Abbey. Typical of rural Romanesque art in Burgundy, the building made of unplastered natural stones has a very simple structure. It has a single, narrow nave, a distinctive square bell tower with a saddle roof (bâtière), and a semicircular apse.
