Château de Brancion

The castle of Brancion in Burgundy, France.

This imposing château, built between the 11th and 14th centuries, looms above the medieval hilltop village of Brancion, 12km west of Tournus. It's a lovely place to explore, and makes a scenic break on the journey from Tournus to Cluny.
