Les Groseillers: Parish Church, Autize Stream and December Offering

Les Groseillers offers specific local points of reference for planning a hotel stay, as well as a seasonal reason to visit. The parish church is in Le Bourg, the old rectory lies between two named buildings, and selecting a Christmas tree is part of the December offering at Chateau Jarno Pepiniere. First consider whether your trip is primarily focused on this seasonal visit or on the local landmarks.

Church and local setting

The PLUi regulation, dated January 2026, locates the Notre-Dame et Saint-Lazare parish church in Le Bourg, Les Groseillers, and also lists it among the notable buildings protected under landscape protection law. Le Bourg answers the question of the church’s more precise location; the protection status describes another aspect of the building, its legal classification. A 2024 environmental study names Église des Groseillers as a tourist site in Les Groseillers. For planning purposes, you can use the church’s name and Le Bourg together as local search terms.

Plants and Christmas trees

Chateau Jarno Pepiniere has two separate offerings. The business supplies plants to the public and offers more than 700 plant varieties. The range and availability to visitors may change. There is also the seasonal Christmas tree selection: visitors can choose a tree in its natural setting and have it freshly cut in December. The number of varieties describes the breadth of the selection; for choosing a Christmas tree, the month and whether the activity is currently taking place are what matter. Since the seasonal offering may vary in frequency and detail, check before travelling whether the activity will be available on your chosen date. If you are mainly interested in plants, ask about the current selection.

Old rectory and the Autize

The old rectory in Les Groseillers lies between Saint-Lazare Church and Château de Pont-Jarnot. The Autize stream is about 100 metres from the old rectory. These location details address different questions: the church and château place the rectory between two landmarks, while the approximate distance locates the stream relative to the rectory. The Autize stream is classified as a first-category river. The GR36 long-distance hiking trail also passes through the immediate study area around Les Groseillers and the northwestern part of the study zone.

Choose a hotel and travel dates

If you are visiting to select a Christmas tree, plan your trip for December and confirm that the seasonal activity is taking place. If you are guided by the church and local landmarks, you can include these location details in your plans independently of the December offering. Check hotel options for your dates and choose according to the reason for your trip.
