Option 1: The Royal Monastery of Brou
In Bourg-en-Bresse, this masterpiece of flamboyant Gothic art shines as much for its intricate stonework as for the story of Marguerite of Austria at the dawn of the Renaissance. A wealth of decorations, sculptures, stained glass windows and monumental tombs of Marguerite of Austria, Philibert le Beau and his mother Marguerite de Bourbon.

Let yourself be guided along the town's flower-filled streets and discover the Gothic church of Saint-André, the 15th-century Halles, the former home of Saint-Vincent-de-Paul, the Porte de Villars, typical half-timbered houses, flower-filled bridges and riverbanks.
