Bursins

In 1011, King Rudolf III of Burgundy gave Bursins to the monks of Romainmôtier. They established a priory there and gradually expanded the domain. Under the Bernese regime, Bursins remained attached to the bailiwick of Romainmôtier. The municipal coat of arms, which appears on the church banners of 1754, suggests a play on words between Bursins and bourse.

The tranquil wine village of Leman, located along the famous "route du vignoble de la Côte" is surrounded by beautiful vineyards and offers magnificent views of the "sea of Switzerland" (Lake Geneva). Many are the producers who open the doors of their houses to let you taste the excellent local wine and cheese. But the real jewel of the village is hidden inside, the magnificent Romanesque church of the year 1000 dedicated to St. Martin and subject to the convent of Romainmôtier (also a member of the network of villages). Both communes are also part of the European federation of Cluniac sites, a cultural itinerary of the Council of Europe.
