    Bény, it is first of all the famous Bresse poultry PDO. You will recognize it in the meadows by its white plumage, its bluish legs, its red crest and barbels, its white auricles. A festival is dedicated to it in Bény on the first Sunday of July, a date to be reserved to savor its incomparable taste.

    The Garavand farm, transferred in 1996 following the construction of the A 39, is currently used as a town hall and a village hall. This typical building of the XIIth century, in the center of the village, presents the characteristics of the Bresse habitat: wood sides, carrons (name of bricks in the region), cob.

    In addition to the remarkable mill, marvelously preserved, the hamlet of Marmont conceals a listed building, recently renovated: Le Manoir de Marmont. It is not a farm but a noble residence, center of the fief of Marmont, possession of the Duchy of Burgundy. At the beginning of the 19th century, the Manor was reduced to a simple farm. The farm buildings date from 1840 and the original building from 1434. Perched on a small hillock, facing North-South, its most carefully designed façade faces the Revermont. This imposing residence (31 m long, 11 m wide, 10 m high) has a floor, a sign of its seigneurial origin.
