In the southern Beaujolais, just outside Lyon, the limestone of the villages is tinged with gold, giving these villages the Pierres Dor\u00e9es character. Take a stroll through these charming towns: Ternand, Ch\u00e2tillon d’Azergues,
Charnay, etc. If you had to visit just one of them, however, give your preference to Oingt, the only village in the Rh\u00f4ne to be classified as one of the Most Beautiful Villages in France. Don’t miss a visit to the Glay quarries, an exceptional natural site where you can see how the stone that gives the Beaujolais villages their golden hue is extracted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
