Hières-sur-Amby village

Highlight • Settlement

The origins of Hières-sur-Amby, like so many towns in this region, can be found in the Gallo-Roman period. This is evidenced, among other things, by an archaeological excavation site on the high plateau south-east of the village. Unfortunately, this can only be reached by bike via detours. A short hike up the steep climb is worthwhile, however, because the view from the plateau over the Rhone Valley is phenomenal.

Nelson Mandela Footbridge

Highlight • Bridge

A beautiful footbridge leads to the towpath. From there, it's a long, straight stretch to the Herbens Bridge. A pleasant walk in good weather.
