Camping Gigny-sur-Saône : our rentals

A camping holiday in Saône-et-Loire: enjoy the cultural scene of Chalon-sur-Saône

In 2015 and 2016, the town council of Chalon-sur-Saône introduced two walking tours around the town, that will lead you to dozens of points of interest. The first loop trail begins in Port Villiers and leads to the Chapelle des Carmes, passing by Villa Denon and the childhood home of Nicéphore Niépce, the inventor of photography. The second loop trail begins at the former hospital and is a chance to explore the heritage sites of Ile Saint-Laurent. These tours are a great way to visit Chalon-sur-Saône as a family or with friends while you're on holiday on a campsite in Saône-et-Loire!

Sporty activities for holidaymakers of all ages

Did you know? The Saône-et-Loire is where France's very first greenway route was introduced, between Cluny and Givry. That explains why this French department is so popular with cyclists. While you're on holiday on a campsite in Bourgogne-Franche-Comté, hop on your bikes and venture along southern Burgundy's cycle routes, as far as Mâcon. If you'd like to continue on this theme, you could also visit the Michel Grézaud cycling museum in Tournus.

A gourmet experience in Bourgogne-Franche-Comté

If you pass through Mâcon, treat yourselves to a 100% local treat, the 'gaufrettes mâconnaises', a very thin, crispy wafer rolled into a cigarette shape. If you go to a restaurant, try the Bourbonnais lamb or a dozen Burgundy snails. And at the end of the meal, give in to the temptation and try a drop of Fine de Bourgogne, a brandy made from distilling Burgundy wine lees.
