Louhans

Louhans straddles the Seille in the Bresse country of southern Burgundy, and its river crossing helped it grow as a market town. The long Grande Rue is defined by covered arcades, sheltering shops and the celebrated Monday market, an institution that gives the centre its weekly rhythm. Poultry is central to local identity: the town sits in the region associated with AOC Volaille de Bresse, including the prized Bresse chicken. Timber-framed houses and the arcaded street preserve the practical form of an old trading centre rather than a museum set piece. Beyond town, the flat Saône-et-Loire countryside is shaped by fields, hedges and small waterways. Continue through nearby webcams to explore different parts of Louhans and Bresse Bourguignonne.
