CHATEAU CHALON
One of the main reasons to visit the small, friendly village of Château-Chalon is its commanding hilltop position, which offers sublime views of the vineyards in the valley below.
Ranked among the most beautiful villages in France, the birthplace of the famous Vin Jaune, Château-Chalon watches over its vineyard, which benefits from an ideal exposure at the foot of the rocky spur on which the village is perched. The walk offers the best views of a place that leaves no one indifferent.
