Located 3 kilometres west of Buxy, this ancient Burgundy village is built at the apex of a natural amphitheatre of vines. Montagny-Lès-Buxy enjoys an eminent reputation thanks to the quality of its wines - which were the preferred choice of the Monks of Cluny. Writings of the time show that the Canons
of Saint-Vincent were some of its greatest fans.

Situated 4 km south of Buxy in the middle of the vineyards, Saint-Vallerin is one of the 4 villages from which the Montagny appellation is produced. The village has a beautiful partially Romanesque church crowned with a stone bell-tower and rich in baptism records.
Just below the church there is a magnificent covered communal wash-house. Among the many castles, that of the Hameau de la Tour houses an aviary in each of its towers.
A statue of the Virgin, placed on the cliff overlooking the village, offers a wonderful panorama where Mont Blanc regularly appears illuminated by the rising sun. It is on this plateau that we find limestone grasslands dotted with boxwood and lined with stone walls.
