Discovering Marmont-Chaffoux

From the small village of Bény, go to meet two Bresse manors and their mills, former agricultural domains. A route in the paths of Bresse and its string of woods (Malaval, Châtelet...)

The most southerly commune in the canton, Bény has preserved and developed the Bresse bocage that you'll discover on this walking tour.
From south to north, the Sevron, a river full of fish, offers anglers plenty to indulge their passion.

Bény is also home to the famous Bresse PDO poultry. You'll recognize it in the meadows by its white plumage, bluish legs, red crest and barbels, and white auricles. A festival is dedicated to it in Bény on the 1st Sunday in July, a date you'll want to reserve to savor its incomparable taste.

The Garavand farmhouse was transferred in 1996, following the construction of the A39 motorway, and now serves as the town hall and village hall. This typical 12th-century building in the center of the village is typical of Bresse housing: half-timbered, carrons (the local name for bricks) and cob.

You can also admire a wonderfully preserved mill in the hamlet of Marmont.
