The surrounding area.

The Bresse is a gently undulating, predominantly agricultural region between the Jura and the Burgundy wine region. Flowing out into the Saône river, the Seille river runs from the Jura straight through the Bresse region and is navigable from Louhans. Boats are for rent in Louhans and Branges to navigate the Seille and Saône rivers. The numerous tributaries of the Seille are dammed up in various locations, which make for many fishing ponds. The region is very suitable for walking and cycling.

 At 5 km of Beauvoir, Louhans is a beautiful small town, known for its Grande Rue with its 157 arches. It is the economic heart of the Bresse, which is evident from the large farmers market that is being held every Monday. On the market, live poultry is being traded and afterwards the market vendors and buyers go out to eat tête-de-veau in one of many establishments that offer this delicacy. But the true speciality of the Bresse is the Bresse chicken, highly acclaimed in the whole of France and far beyond. 

Louhans is situated between Chalon sur Saône and Lons-le-Saunier. Both Chalon and Lons offer golfing opportunities. The municipal golf course in Chalon is beautifully laid out with a hugh diversity of trees and rose bushes. The more undulating grounds in Lons have a surprising layout.
