Bourg-en-Bresse is a town 60 km north of Lyon in the Ain department of the Rhone-Alpes.

The churches at Bourg are the big attraction, both the church of Notre Dame in Bourg-en-Bresse itself, but more importantly the church of Brou, which is a suburb of the town.

Brou church, built in the 16th century,  has a fine, decorated facade. Inside are several stunning works of art - to see particularly are the marble effigies in the mausoleums. Apart from the fine gothic decoration - some of the finest to be found in France - the cloisters, unusually stacked three high - are also very impressive.

Back in the town itself, Bourg-en-Bresse is centred around the pretty Place de l'Hotel de Ville, and the surrounding (largely pedestrianised) streets, has some attractive 16th-18th century houses to see, several in colombage.
