Tips from the Community
It is classified as a historical monument and houses a museum designated as a Museum of France. Primarily built between the 15th and 16th centuries, the Château de Tournon stands on the remains of a first building from the 10th century. (...) The site still presents exceptional works of art today, such as a triptych by Giovanni Capassini, but also collections on river navigation or the history of the town and the castle. Reconstructions of rooms, as well as sculptures, paintings, drawings or engravings, highlight the tour.

With the words "Only one book lies open before all eyes, the book of nature." by Jean-Jacques ROUSSEAU (1712-1778), I wish everyone on this path said open eyes, to enjoy nature in its countless facets along the way.

The Château de Tournon is one of the most beautiful castles in the Ardèche. Its massive character and elevated position give it an imposing appearance. Built between the 15th and 16th centuries, its architecture bears witness to the evolution of society, between the medieval period and the dawn of the Renaissance. http://www.chateaumusee-tournon.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=549&Itemid=443

A pleasant stretch of the Rhône, easy to ride, well-paved and directly on the riverbank.

Tournon-sur-Rhône Castle sits picturesquely above the Rhône River and offers magnificent views of the Hermitage vineyards. Its origins date back to the 10th century, making a visit a journey through history. Inside, the museum showcases regional art, archaeology, and maritime history. The contrast between the medieval fortress and elegant Renaissance architecture is particularly charming. A stroll through the old town and across the suspension bridge to Tain-l'Hermitage perfectly rounds off the visit.

The Tournon-sur-Rhône War Memorial impressively commemorates the fallen of both World Wars. It is centrally located in the old town, near the Rhône River and the castle. The bronze figure and delicate reliefs convey quiet dignity and gratitude. A brief stop is worthwhile for history buffs and strollers alike.
