On the paths of Beny

From the small village of Bény, go on the Bresse paths between hills and valleys to discover a typical landscape with multiple viewpoints and the Griffonnière's poype in the middle of its forest.

Bény, it is first of all the famous Bresse poultry PDO. You will recognize it in the meadows by its white plumage, its bluish legs, its red crest and barbels, its white auricles. A festival is dedicated to it in Bény on the first Sunday of July, a date to be reserved to savor its incomparable taste.

The Garavand farm, transferred in 1996 following the construction of the A 39, is currently used as a town hall and a village hall. This typical building of the XIIth century, in the center of the village, presents the characteristics of the Bresse habitat: wood sides, carrons (name of bricks in the region), cob.

In addition to the remarkable mill, marvelously preserved, the hamlet of Marmont conceals a classified building, recently renovated: the Manor of Marmont. It is not a farm but a noble residence, center of the fief of Marmont, possession of the Duchy of Burgundy. At the beginning of the 19th century, the Manor was reduced to a simple farm. The farm buildings date from 1840 and the original building from 1434. Perched on a small hillock, facing North-South, its most neat facade is turned towards the Revermont. This imposing residence (31 m long, 11 m wide, 10 m high) has a floor, a sign of its seigneurial origin.
