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.

The following sentence is attributed to the French writer Victor Hugo (1802-1885): „One day, cannons will be exhibited in museums, like old torture instruments are now, and people will marvel that such things were ever in use.“ If only this vision of his had already become a reality! Then there would be no need for the many 'Monument aux Morts' with which villages and towns, across the country, commemorate their inhabitants who lost their lives in war.

A rare testimony of Gothic architecture in Ardèche, the Saint-Julien church is one of the best-preserved in the region. Listed as a historical monument, it recalls the ancient character of Tournon's heritage. https://www.tournon-sur-rhone.fr/ma-ville/decouvrir-tournon-sur-rhone/patrimoine/eglise-saint-julien/

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

The first footbridge built by Marc Seguin between Tournon and Tain in 1825 was revolutionary for its time. It was the world's first iron cable suspension bridge, a true technical feat for the era. This footbridge helped facilitate trade and strengthen ties between the two towns. However, the original footbridge underwent several transformations over time. It was first raised to allow the passage of steamships, then a second footbridge was built by Marc Seguin in 1847, still based on the iron cable suspension principle. The two footbridges coexisted for a time, the first being used for pedestrian traffic and the second for road traffic. As road traffic intensified over time, it became necessary to build a new bridge to facilitate circulation. This is how the Gustave Toursier bridge was built in 1958. Located about 350 meters downstream from the Marc Seguin footbridge, this suspension bridge over 240 meters long comprises three spans. It is designed to support road traffic, thus facilitating exchanges between the two municipalities. The current footbridge, inaugurated in 1972, is therefore the fourth of its name. It was designed to resemble the 1847 footbridge, while meeting current safety standards and needs. https://www.ardeche-hermitage.com/fr/zoom-sur/la-passerelle-marc-seguin-celebre-son-bicentenaire/

Hello everyone, Please note that the footbridge crossing the Rhône between Tournon and Tain is closed until November 28th due to ongoing construction. You must use the motorway bridge 500m away… it's much less pleasant.
