The Lyonnais region, with its mountains, hillsides and valleys, stretching between the Rhône Department and the Loire, is very close to the large cities of Lyon and Saint-Etienne.
Whether for a day trip or more, heritage lovers will definitely not miss the Couvent de la Tourette, one of the significant works of the architect Le Corbusier in Eveux, a jewel of 20th century architecture, Les Carrières de Glay in Saint-Germain-Nuelles or the village of Saint Symphorien-sur-Coise, ranked as one of the Most Beautiful Detours in France.
If you just want to have fun, simply stop and stroll through the streets of Vieux l'Arbresle and learn a little more about the region at the Espace de découverte du Pays de l'Arbresle.
For a family getaway, wander the Parc de Courzieu to see wolves and birds of prey or take a ride on model trains for a fun-filled tour of Saint-Foy-L'Argentière. Children will also enjoy getting lost in a giant corn maze at Haute Rivoire, where they can also relive the time of kings, queens and knights at Salva Terra, a medieval leisure park.
Located between Monts du Lyonnais and Pierres Dorées, Lyonnais is punctuated with hiking trails to be explored on foot, by bike, on horseback or even on donkeys!
