With the first rays of sunshine comes the return of terraces and strolls in the City, and that’s something the people of Chalon have well understood as the streets of the Saint-Vincent district come alive!

With its postcard setting of medieval architecture, ancient cobblestones and colourful half-timbered facades, nestled in the heart of the historic centre, the Place Saint-Vincent is one of the most emblematic and charming places in Chalon-sur-Saône.

It’s a real meeting place, popular with locals and visitors alike, with its shops and restaurants.
On fine days, the terraces fill up, and the pleasure of having a drink in this area where time seems to stand still takes on its full meaning.
