Description

For a break of just a few hours or several days, Trévoux is the ideal destination. Its exceptional natural setting and rich historical heritage promise an unforgettable discovery.
The medieval town of Trévoux has a rich history, as evidenced by its “City and Region of Art and History” designation. A visit to the former Principality of Dombes allows you to explore iconic sites at your own pace, such as the Carré Patrimoines, the Parliament of Dombes, and the fortified castle. To ensure you don’t miss any of the town’s highlights, the Ars Trévoux Tourist Office offers a walking discovery tour. At each stop along the route, a plaque provides information about the building. You’ll start at the Passerelle to take in the view of the medieval town. This vantage point lets you step back and appreciate the town’s details. It’s the only town in the Val de Saône that faces due south! You can enjoy this flood of light even in winter! In addition to its architectural and cultural heritage, Trévoux holds the “Ville et Métiers d’Art” designation. As you wander along the route, be sure to step inside the art studios. You’ll recognize them by a “Rue des Arts” emblem above the studios and art galleries. Together, they promote and preserve the arts and crafts. Immerse yourself in this experience rich in human connection: a true moment of exchange and an invitation to contemplation.
