Saône et Loire is the seventh largest region in France and is Burgundys most densely populated region. From north to south it is traversed by the River Saône, a tributary of the Rhône, which leads into the Mediterranean whilst the Loire heads in the opposite direction and leads into the Atlantic. The Canal du Centre connects the Saône and the Loire between Chalon and Digoin and thus connects the Atlantic and the Mediterranean.

When it was formed during the French Revolution the department combined the provinces of Southern Burgundy and Bresse, two provinces that shared no previous common history or political history. Its history is that therefore of Burgundy itself and can best be seen in the history of individual towns such as Mâcon, Autun, Chalon-sur-Saône and Charolles. In the west of the region is its industrial heart, Le Creusot and Montceau-les-Mines.

Autun

Deep in its Roman history, todays Autun is a busy place with plenty to see and do but retaining many structures relating to Roman times when it was founded during the reign of Emperor Augustus. There are two Roman gates, Porte St Andre and Porte d’Arroux along with Roman walls and other remnants of the time of Augutus however probably the most spectacular of these is the Roman theatre which, at the time, was one of the largest in the western part of the Empire seating 17,000. It remains to this day in excellent condition and many music and theatre events are held in the open air in the theatre during the summer months.

Whilst in Autun its Romanesque cathedral dating back to the early 12c is worthy of a visit. St Lazare Cathedral was formerly the chapel of the Dukes of Burgundy and was built as a pilgrimage church for the veneration of the relics of Lazarus, whom Christ was thought to have raised from the dead. Bishop Étienne de Bâge probably built the church in response to the church of Ste Madeleine, home of the French cult of Mary Magdalene, Lazarus’ sister. St Lazare Cathedral is famous for its incredible architectural sculpture particularly the tympanum of The Last Judgement above the west portal.

Chalon-sur-Saône

As its name suggests Chalon lies on the River Saône and is the largest City in the department. Once a bustling port it was a distribution point for local wines which were sent up and down the river and the Canal du Centre.

Chalon is a busy town with many fine cafes and restaurants and is at the heart of the Chalonnaise wine growing region and has a market three times a week. It also boasts a fine Romanesque cathedral and is the birthplace of two unique characters, Dominique Vivant-Denon, the first director of the Louvre and Nicephore Niepce, inventor of the first photographic process. If you have an interest in photography, or maybe even if not, the Nicephore Niepce museum at 28 quai des Messageries with its unique collections and images and cameras is well worth a visit.

Le Creusot

Le Creusot is dominated by the memory of it’s steelworks and in particular one, Schneider Iron and Steel Works famous not only for building the first French locomotive in 1838 but also the first steamship in 1839, the mainstay of WW1 artillary the 75mm field gun and the ironworks for Pont Alexandre III and Gare l’Austerlitz in Paris. In 1960, following the death of the last of the family, the steelworks were broken up with a number of different companies carrying on the tradition including Alstom who manufactures parts for the TGV. In 1838 the Château de la Verrerie was sold to the Schneider family and is now the home of the Économusee le Creusot-Montceau, a museum dedicated to the iron and steel industry and the neighbouring Salle du Jeu de Paume shows Le Creusot’s role in the development of metallurgy.

Whilst researching for these pieces I stumbled across a cablegram between the London Times and the New York Times dated October 17th 1901 which relates to the discovery of 3000 guns and revolvers, with ammunition at nearby Montceau-les-Mines a hotbed of socialist agitation, it remarks that “the Government is uneasy over this seemingly trivial affair”. It continues that “the fear of a general strike of miners and other labour troubles grows” and that yesterday the Minister of Public Works decreed that Railway Labourers must not work more than 12 hours a day and must must have a whole day of rest every month.

Working those sort of hours I’m not surprised at the unrest however it does emphasise the industrial heritage of this part of Burgundy.

Charolles

Famous for its wonderful white Charolais cattle and the birthplace of Michel Roux the famous chef, Charolles was the capital of Charolais, an old division of France. In 1327 the county passed, by marriage, into the House of Armagnac, and in 1390 was sold to Philip of Burgundy. Via Louis XI, Charles VII and Maximilian of Austria it eventually found its way into the hands of the Spanish Kings and became, for a considerable period, an object of dispute between France and Spain. In 1684 it was assigned to the Great Conde, a creditor of the King of Spain and was not reunited with the French until as recently as 1771.

Two place worth noting here, firstly the Maison du Charolais, where you can learn all about the breed, the quality of its meat and the passion which drives the stockbreeder throughout the year. At the end of the tour you are treated to a tasting of roast Charolais accompanied by a glass of red Burgundy wine. The second is the Musee Municipal du Prieure, Municipal Museum of the Priory, which houses paintings, earthenware and sculpture from the area. Most of the earthenware on show relates to the founding of the earthenware factory at Charolles in 1844 by Hippolyte Prost which was taken over in 1892 by the Molin family.

Mâcon

Macon is situated on the Sâone just north of Lyon and is the present day capital of the Sâone and Loire department. Today it is a diverse city with both industrial and touristique aspects and in recent history was a particularly active centre for the French Resistance in WWII. Of course Mâcon is famous worldwide for its wines but its history is a long one that dates back to the foundation of ancient Matisco in the 2nd century BC which was soon to become a busy crossroads. Bordered between the Kingdom of France and the Holy Roman Empire Macon prospered between 843 and 1600 thanks to custom duties that were established. In 1790 Mâcon became the capital of the department of Sâone et Loire and in the same year one of its most famous sons was born, the famous poet, writer and politician Alphonse de Lamartine.

Clamecy lies in the north of the region and is at the confluence of two rivers, Yonne and Beuvron, it also lies on the banks of the Nivernais Canal. This dependence on water made it an important centre from the 16th to 19th centuries for the transportation of wood cut largely in the Morvan and surrounding areas and transported by floating it to Paris.

Lying in the heavily wooded Yonne valley Clamecy is a pretty town. Head for the centre at the Church of Saint-Martin and discover medieval buildings in the narrow streets that fan out from this central point.

La Charité-sur-Loire. In the 12c the Order of Cluny sent 100 monks who built two churches and a priory at the place that was later named Charité-sur-Loire. The priory was built on the main pilgrimage trail near a bridge over the River Loire and became a popular stop over on the trail. The two churches were the St. Laurent’s church, the smaller of the two, and Notres Dame’s church which was the second largest church in France after Cluny itself and the third largest in the World. The city developed around the Priory, named la Charité and became so wealthy that thick walls were built with ten towers for defence.

The city was largely destroyed by fire in 1559 and by the time of the French Revolution in 1789 there were only 12 monks left at the Priory. The Church of Notre Dame has been completely restored and is one of the finest examples of Burgundian Romanic style to be found. In 1990 La Charité was listed as a Grand Site Culturel et Touristique and in 1998 became a World Heritage Site.

Nevers, the capital of modern day Nièvre is the largest of the cities in the region, built on the banks of the River Loire and set on the pilgrim route from Vezeley to Santiago de Compestela in Northern Spain. There are two routes on this famous pilgrim journey, one through Charite-sur-Loire and Bourges and the other through Nevers and St Amand-Montrond.

In Nevers lies the body of Bernadette Soubirous at the Espace Bernadette Soubirous, 34 rue St Gilard. Bernadette, a simple country girl from Lourdes, claimed that the Virgin Mary appeared to her 18 times resulting in several miracles from which Lourdes became one of the most important sites in the world for pilgrims. Bernadettes visions persuaded her of her calling and she became a nun at St Gilard, a convent of the Sisters of Charity at Nevers.

Certainly whilst in Nevers you should visit the Palais Ducal and then from there follow the fils bleu, blue line, which will lead you into the pottery quarter of the town. Here you can see faience that is still made today using traditional methods following on from the Italian influenced china that was first produced in Nevers in the 16c.

Just south of Nevers is the famous racing circuit at Magny Cours. 2008 may be the last opportunity to witness Formula 1 racing here. No-one seems to know for certain although, after deciding to host the French Grand Prix here for a further year in 2007, Bernie Ecclestone, head of F1, has stated that 2008 will be the last with the French GP moving to Paris, possibly even a street circuit. You will however still be able to see a full calendar of events including the Bol D’Or 24 hour motor cycle race and World Superbikes.

Decize is situated on a rocky island in the river Loire at the confluence of the Aron and Loire and at the canal du Nivernais, where a dam connects it to the Canal Laterial à la Loire. Because of these waterway connections it is a busy trade centre and has an eventful history during which time many monuments were built and destroyed.

Visit the Promenades des Halles a 985m long walkway, comprised of plane trees and lime trees, planted from 1770. The city walls with the gate of Marquis d’Ancre thought to have been built in 1194, the towers and the Ravelin et Echuguette, fortifications dating from the 16c. The Church of St-Are and its crypt and the Couvent des Minimes, the ancient convent and cloister which houses a Roman chapel and the Eglise St Are with its choir which dates from 11c.

St Honore les Bains is the furthest south of the towns we are featuring from La Nievre. It differs from the others and gets its name from one specific feature, its thermal spa. Dating back to the Romans as far back as 50bc the troops of Julius Caesar discovered the hot springs whilst crossing the solid mass of the Morvan and created the thermal baths which would function until the 2c. At this time the Romans give it the name Aqua Nisinae. For several centuries the baths were not used and vanished under the silts from a marsh.

In 1010 a priory was created by Hugues de Chatillon under the name St Honore which would become the name of the borough with the addition of “the baths” later on. The first part of this 11c priory still remains today.

In 1789 a Dr Regnault de Lormes was first to recognise the therapeutic properties of the water from the warm springs. Bacon Parr endeavoured to develope the use of the water but had to give up due to lack of funds. Then in 1839 excavations carried out by Marquis Antoine Theodore d’Espeuilles led to the update of the roman structures and in 1855 opened to the public with it being declared a public utility in 1860.
