Église de Saint-Jean d'Etreux
The church was listed as a historic monument in 1946.
This is a fine example of an octagonal bell tower on a solid square base. The tower, on the upper storey, has a Gothic window with infill on all eight sides. It is topped by a slender spire, pierced by beautiful geminated, three-lobed and trefoiled windows and decorated with colonnettes.
The bell tower is 32 m high and the spire is made of tufa.
In front of the church, you can enjoy a panoramic view over the Bresse plain, with the Monts du Châlonnais and Mâconnais in the distance. An information panel provides details of the local landscape and heritage.
