Châtillon-sur-Chalaronne, formerly Châtillon-les-Dombes, is a medieval town full of character. You’ll be seduced by its corbelled houses and its seven flower-filled bridges and footbridges, earning it the nickname “Little Venice of the Dombes”. Its 15th
century halles are home to one of France’s finest markets. You can’t describe it, you have to experience it, right from dawn, with its area reserved for live animals. Enjoy your escapade along the castle ramparts and push on to the arboretum.

Welcome to Neuville-sur-Saône, a town of commerce and heritage!
As you arrive from the banks of the Saône, on foot, by bike or by boat, stroll through Neuville’s pedestrian streets. You’ll discover the Place Ampère with its Church of Notre-Dame-de-l’Assomption, built between 1678 and 1681 on the initiative of Mgr Camille de Neufville, it was partially modernized in the 19th century and restored in the 20th and 21st centuries. A number of its interior decorations are listed as historic monuments.
The Bâtiment du Lion d’Or, a 17th-century coaching inn, is also worth a visit, while the Ombreval estate offers an exceptional setting with its château (now the town hall) and large park suitable for family picnics and games, as well as the clos du Nymphée, in the tradition of the contemporary nymphées in the Luxembourg Gardens.
And to complete your shopping experience, more than 150 shops will welcome you in a privileged environment combining local shops and well-known names. Every Friday, there’s a big market on the banks of the Saône, featuring top-quality local produce.

For lunch: enjoy the superb terraces of Neuville’s restaurants, the villages of the Monts d’Or or the guinguettes on the banks of the Saône, which welcome walkers along the water’s edge: more than two kilometers of promenade dedicated to leisure activities close to nature (mini-golf, paddle rentals…).
