  • Amazing little village on top of a hill and fairly easy to get to from Lyon. Lots of super detail and not too crowded on a bright and sunny day in February.

  • Absolutely stunning medieval village. Loads of history. The village itself is accessible by car or if going by train you get off at Meximieux. It’s about a 1.5 km walk. Plenty of paths to take you...

  • It was quite an interesting tour of this great medieval city before Christmas time. The restaurants and cafes were all decorated for Christmas, and we tried mulled wine in one of the places. At this time of year the city is not so crowded with visitors.
  • Very interesting place, with a 3-4 restaurants which are full around lunch time, but you can have pancakes with ham or Nutella on the street. It's a beautiful Medieval town, especially during the Autumn because of the colours of the falling leaves.
