In Bourg, you don’t visit, you enjoy. The locals don’t say Bourg but Bourk, a linguistic curiosity inherited from Old French, where the final letter “g” was pronounced [k]. A nod to history that gives the town that little extra soul. The glazed tiles of the Royal Monastery of Brou gleam in the sunlight, the market halls rustle with the comings and goings of stalls, and the golden smell of Bresse poultry roasting in a roasting pan wafts through the air. Bourg is a town that lives, breathes and delights. A concentrate of history and flavors, to be devoured without moderation.
With its century-old covered market halls, half-timbered houses and flower-bedecked bridges, Châtillon-sur-Chalaronne offers an immersion in the charm of the Dombes region.
