Human Rights Bridge

Highlight • Monument

In Retournac, the stone bridge that spans the Loire is called the Human Rights Bridge. Built in stone and on a model of lowered arches, the bridge and its sidewalks offer walkers pleasant views of the river and the mountains which dominate it.

Collegiate Church of Saint John the Baptist

Highlight • Religious Site

The Romanesque church would have adjoined the castle (now destroyed) and participated in the medieval fortifications. Its choir with radiating apses is built in yellow ocher sandstone rock. The aisles would have been reworked in the 18th century.

The set of contemporary stained glass windows, created and produced by Henri Guérin, glass artist in Toulouse, is unique among his work visible throughout the world. The shattering of the glass slab in its thickness gives the nuances of value and color.
