Things to see and do

While strolling in the village, do not miss to admire the Baborier house of the XVth century with its superb vault.

Built in the nineteenth century, the church of Saint-André unveils beautiful stained glass restored in the 2000s, and a gothic lintel from the old church.

You can also enjoy the rue du Rhône lined with mansions, Emile-Christophle home which hosted Leon Gambetta, or the Marc-Seguin bridge of the early nineteenth century, the oldest suspension bridge in France.

The old district of St. Joseph with its famous farm is not lacking in interest, as the old towpath, or the old grain mill and the old district of Marettes.

The passage of the ViaRhôna allows to cross the banks of the Rhone on foot, by bike or in rollerblading.
