History
The Eglise Saint-Odilon in Lux was rebuilt between 1874 and 1880 through donations after the former church had been destroyed in 1793. The demarcation line was marked on the RN 6 running through the hamlet of Droux. During the occupation, the hamlet of Droux was in the southern free zone, while Chalon-sur-Saône and Saint-Rémy belonged to the occupied zone.
Water and Nature
The Digue de Lux is a promenade for pedestrians, from which the fauna and flora of the lake and the La Corne river can be observed. The course of the La Corne through Lux was recently redesigned and planted; signs on both sides of the RD906 provide information about the river.
