Many farmers now mainly devote themselves to cattle breeding, i. H. the rearing of Charolais cattle that thrive on the lush pastures of gur.

history

The Brionnais experienced its heyday in the Middle Ages - Hugo von Semur , canonized in 1121 and one of the most important abbots (1049–1109) of Cluny Abbey , came from the area. From the 12th century, the Brionnais belonged to the immediate sphere of influence of the Benedictine monastery about 50 kilometers away ; several priories , including Varennes-l'Arconce, Iguerande u. a. were directly or indirectly subject to the abbey. In the second half of the 16th century, d. H. During the Huguenot Wars (1562–1598), some places suffered from attacks. In the early years of the French Revolution , the portals of several churches were destroyed.

Attractions

The hilly and varied landscape is ideal for hiking. From a cultural point of view, the Romanesque churches of Semur-en-Brionnais , Varenne-l'Arconce , Iguerande and Saint-Julien-de-Jonzy are particularly noteworthy. Semur-en-Brionnais is one of the most beautiful villages in France . Some - albeit less important - castles and palaces can be seen (e.g. in Semur or Oyé)
