The Église Notre-Dame combines Romanesque style with 13th-century Gothic elements; it was altered in the 15th century. Its two-storey bell tower porch, with a polygonal spire, was built in 1859. “Two-storey” describes the porch as having two floors, while “polygonal” refers to the spire’s many-sided shape. This allows you to consider the building’s different phases alongside a specific architectural detail.

Churches and planning your visit

The Église Notre-Dame can be viewed from the outside year-round. You can collect the key during town hall opening hours. If you would like to collect the key, plan to do so while the town hall is open.

The Église Saint-Laurent can also be viewed from the outside year-round. Notre-Dame offers additional details about its building history and key collection; you can include both churches in your plans as distinct cultural stops.

Trails and excursions

The signposted Balade découverte à Bourgougnague is 4.2 km long and takes an average of 1 hour 30 minutes. If you would like to plan your day around a stated duration, this trail gives you a time estimate as well as its distance.

Le Petit Monde à Bourgougnague is an 8.8 km circular route that starts and ends in Bourgougnague. The location information is useful if you are looking for a loop that starts and finishes there.

The two routes differ in the information provided: the Balade découverte gives its distance and average duration, while Le Petit Monde is described as a circular route starting and ending in Bourgougnague. You can therefore decide whether a stated time frame or a loop with the same start and end point matters more to you.

For a cycling trip, there is also Circuit VTT 4 – Les hauts de Bourgougnague. You can access the route from Bourgougnague; the VTT designation identifies it as a mountain biking option.

Group meals and farm visits

GAEC L’Oisonnière organizes meals for groups of up to 120 people, either on site or at other locations. Reservations must be made 15 days in advance. If you are planning a group meal, agree on the location and group size, and allow for the required lead time.

In July and August, the farm offers a visit on Wednesdays at 10 a.m. by prior reservation. Dates and arrangements may change, so check in advance that your preferred date is available for the visit.

Both options require a reservation, but the conditions differ: group meals require 15 days’ notice, while farm visits are limited to July and August, on Wednesdays at 10 a.m. Keep these requirements in mind when planning your visits.

Planning your stay and accommodation

Then plan your travel dates around a suitable Wednesday in July or August and reserve in advance. If the church is your main focus, the Église Notre-Dame can be viewed from the outside year-round; collecting the key from the town hall is still subject to its opening hours.
