Old Col de la Croix du Ban

Highlight • Monument

The old Col de la Croix du Ban marked the feudal boundary between the Archdiocese of Lyon, the Abbey of Savigny and the County of Forez, whose capital was Montbrison. Here the view is not as clear as at the Col de la Croix du Ban, however you can enjoy the view of the old cross and this beautiful wooded atmosphere, which depending on the light can be very bucolic.

La Tourette Convent

Highlight • Other

The Sainte-Marie de la Tourette convent was built in 1959 by the architect Le Corbusier. Created at the instigation of the Reverend Father Couturier, the objective was simple: to mix a more modern architecture with religious life by freeing itself from the conventional forms that the convents had seen until then. Today the convent houses about ten people from the community of Dominican friars. This welcoming and meeting place offers artistic encounters, exhibitions and guided tours. You also have the option of staying on site, but remember to book 15 days in advance. All information is available here: couventdelatourette.fr
