Accompanied by a tour guide from the Villes et Pays d'art et d'histoire network
This tour will enable visitors to discover a place that is still largely unknown, and the history of one of the most powerful female religious orders of the Counter-Reformation, which settled in Chalon in the 17th century and didn't leave the town until 1970, when it moved to Mazille, where it still lives today.
Initially based at Sainte-Marie, the Chalonnais Carmelite nuns were obliged after the Revolution to buy land and build a new convent in the heart of the town, starting in 1825.
This Sunday, you will be told the unique story of these women, and of buildings that are often little-known to the people of Chalonnais. It's an exceptional visit, not to be missed as children flock to the site, which has been a leisure centre since spring 2024.
