Tourism Chalon-sur-Saone


Chalon-sur-Saône is a French town in the region of Burgundy. It's a sub-prefecture of the department of Saone-et-Loire.

Formerly called Cabillonum in Roman times, Chalon-sur-Saone was built on the banks of the Saone. It was a naval base at this time, then became a Burgundian capital of the kingdom in the Middle Ages. The city had been, over the centuries, destroyed, burned and stormed. In 1478, the Dukes of Burgundy found themselves dispossessed of this city in favor of Louis XI.

During World War II, the city will be cut in half at the Saone, and part will be occupied while the other remains free. The end of the occupation of Chalon-sur-Saone was held September 5, 1944 with the 3rd Algerian Infantry Division.

Many religious elements are part of the heritage of this city.
