A very beautiful monastery complex from the Middle Ages

The Royal Abbey of Brou was built at the beginning of the Renaissance at the request of Margaret of Austria (1480-1530), daughter of the Emperor, Duchess of Savoy, and Regent of the Netherlands. The church was intended to forever commemorate her love for her late husband, Philibert the Fair. Philibert II of Savoy died in 1504 at the Château de Pont-d'Ain at the young age of just 24 from the effects of a cold he caught while hunting.

Built in the 13th century, the castle of Jasseron was a colossal work, it dominated the plain of Bresse by more than 170 meters, it is estimated at more than 1250 meters of masonry. It was from 1601 that the castle was abandoned and for lack of maintenance it slowly began to die. Walls and roofs crumble one by one. In addition, the inhabitants of Jasseron fetch the materials needed to build new houses. In particular, stones and doors are taken there. Time and weather accentuate this demolition. Only the keep seems to still resist, it had a diameter of about eight meters and its walls two meters thick, and had nearly six floors. The first would have served as a dungeon or arms depot. The second, a little higher, consisted of a loophole and had dungeon access. The third floor served as accommodation. The fourth floor had a loophole. The fifth, meanwhile, was the defense floor. Finally the sixth floor was also a defense floor, note that this floor was added in 1434. Source: http://www.chateau-fort-manoir-chateau.eu/chateaux-ain-chateau-a-jasseron-chateau-de-jasseron.html

Small path that leads to the center of Bourg en Bresse in the park of Bouvent. Be careful in the middle there is no protected track and a small tunnel crossed. Even if the cars are not moving fast and are careful, you have to be careful. The rest of the way follow the Reyssouse stream in the middle of the greenery.
