- Chapaize : Village near Cormatin. Few communes can marvel at such a heritage and its Romanesque churches. A crazy charm!
- Taizé: Directly accessible by the greenway (without a car), the Taizé Community brings together about a hundred brothers, Catholics and of various Protestant origins, from nearly thirty nations. By its very existence, it is a “parable of community”: a concrete sign of reconciliation between divided Christians and separated peoples. Over the years, more and more young people have come to Taizé from all continents for weeks of meetings. Church leaders also come to Taizé, and the community has welcomed Pope John Paul II.
