Berzé-le-Châtel

Another sunny day. We set off to visit the medieval castle of Berzé which we had passed on our way to Solutré.

In 1229 this 10th century castle was transformed into the major defensive castle for the Abbey of Cluny. It now dominates the vineyards of the Lamartinian Valley.

The dramatic presentation of medieval fighting was well done despite our general dislike of military combat.

    Good to see where you are visiting, I loved the coral outcrop, huge. We were in Wales last week, I’ll post some pics on email. xx
