The medieval town of Trévoux has a rich history. The Ville et Pays d’Art et d’Histoire label bears witness to this. A visit to the former Principality of Dombes allows you to explore emblematic sites such as the Carré Patrimoines, the Parlement de Dombes and the Château-fort.

To make sure you don’t miss out on any of the town’s essentials, the Ars Trévoux Tourist Office has created a walking discovery trail. At each station along the way, a plaque introduces the building. For example, you can start at the Passerelle to admire the medieval town. From this vantage point, you can step back and take in the details of the city. It’s the only city in the Val de Saône with a southern exposure! You’ll be able to enjoy this luminous bath even in winter!

In addition to its rich architecture and heritage, Trévoux has been awarded the Ville et Métiers d’Art label. As you make your way through the town, dare to enter one of its art workshops. You’ll recognize them by a “Rue des Arts” badge above the workshops and art galleries. Some fifteen artists and craftsmen have come together to form the collective l’Art et la Manière. Together, they are making art and crafts shine and endure. Experience this rich human encounter: a true moment of exchange and an invitation to contemplation.
