Pommiers combines a village centre with old houses along narrow lanes, the Église Saint Barthélemy and the Chapelle de Buisante. The Église Saint Barthélemy has been documented since 1183; its present-day choir was rebuilt from 1469 onwards. The Chapelle de Buisante was built in the 19th century and is decorated with paintings by Pierre Bruno.
Those wishing to explore Pommiers with its village centre, chapel and wine offerings may consider renting a holiday apartment.
Culture
The Fête des conscrits is Pommiers' best-known traditional festival; residents regularly meet at traditional celebrations.
Landscape
The Chapelle de Buisante overlooks the Saône Valley and offers views of the Beaujolais hills and the Alpine range.

The Buisante route is suitable for hiking, jogging and mountain biking, and can be combined with a visit to a winery and a tasting of Beaujolais AOC.

In Pommiers, Chardonnay complements the regional products as a white wine. Domaine Berger des Vignes offers wine tastings and wine sales and produces certified organic wines. The family-run winery has been managed for five generations and welcomes guests in its tasting cellars. The offerings also include cellar tours and explanations of the landscape from the Val de Saône to the Monts du Beaujolais.
Gardens
The Montclair Gardens are open to visitors by telephone appointment. They include a 7-hectare park laid out around a 19th-century house on the ridge of the first hill in the Beaujolais des Pierres Dorées.
