Chagny has several notable sights e.g. an Italian style theatre “the Copiaus” and an authentic 18th century pharmacy with original wood panelling and artefacts – scales, pestles and mortars; the garden of Dr Loydreau with its mediaeval herbs and the 11th/13th century church of Saint Martin.
The town has excellent hotels and restaurants notably Lameloise, which has a three star Michelin rating and regularly voted the world’s best French restaurant by TripAdvisor.com. Every Sunday there is a market in the town with over 160 stalls selling fruit and vegetables, meats, cheese, clothing, hardware and bric-a-brac – everything you would expect a market to have.
Beaune to the north is the centre of Burgundy's wine trade with the Hospice with its distinctive tiled roof and museum, remains of a time when Dukes of Burgundy were more powerful than the Kings of France, the highlight of the town.
