Varenne-Saint-Germain (in French pronounced as /vaʁɛn sɛ̃ ʒɛʁmɛ̃/) is a commune in the Saône-et-Loire department in the region of Bourgogne-Franche-Comté in eastern France.
Varenne-Saint-Germain is bordered by the Digoin commune to the north, Vitry-en-Charollais to the east, Saint-Yan to the south and Chassenard to the west. The Arconce flows north-northwest through the middle of the commune, then flows into the Loire, which forms parts of the commune's western border.
In 1793, during the French Revolution, Reuillon, hamlet of Varennes-Reuillon, was renamed to La Montagne.[1] During the Second World War, the commune was crossed by the demarcation line; the remains of a border post are still present on the road D982. The commune of Varenne-Saint-Germain was created in 1973 by merging the communes of Saint-Germain-des-Rives and Varenne-Reuillon.
In 2018, the commune had 718 inhabitants, an increase of 5.43% compared to 2013.
