Chateau-Chalon ('most beautiful villages of France') is 10 km south-west of Poligny in the Jura department of Franche-Comte.

Tourist Information and places to visit

The village at Chateau-Chalon is classified as a 'most beautiful village in France'. It is at the heart of the Jura wine-growing region, in a very picturesque location with lovely views across the surrounding vineyards.

The remnants of a 13th century castle and the ancient fortified gateway in to the town are the two main 'sights'. There is also an interesting romanesque church dating back to the 11th century, with an unusual statue of Christ, carved in oak. Take a look at the house opposite the church, an interesting example of the local architectural style and a classified Historic Monument.

The village itself, like many in wine-growing regions, has several expensive houses built on the income from the wine trade and still belonging to the wine producers of the region.

The Chateau-Chalon vineyards date back to their introduction by the Romans, and the local, golden-yellow wine is held in very high regard. It is almost certainly as a wine enthusiast that you will wish to visit the town. You will have plenty of opportunities to sample and buy the local product!

Just to the east is Baume-les-Messieurs, a village in a perfect setting, also to visit.
