Famous for its poultry that carries the AOC quality label, the Burgundian Bresse, situated on the east side of the département, boasts water mills and typical brick-built and timber-framed farms. The peaceful Bresse countryside, with its landscapes of hedged farmlands, rivers and ponds, is a perfect place for the freshwater fishing. Not to be missed: the renowned and picturesque poultry market, which takes place every Monday morning in Louhans. Also unmissable, the visit of the Burgundian Bresse heritage museum in Pierre-de-Bresse.
