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.

Saint-Bonnet-le-Froid Castle and Church

Highlight • Castle

To the west of Lyon, perched on the road to the crests of the Monts du Lyonnais, the Château de Saint-Bonnet-le-Froid now offers a unique space for those who wish to celebrate events there. Formerly the seat of the Benedictine abbots of Savigny, this place was built more than 2,000 years ago in ancient times. The site offers a panoramic view of the surrounding landscapes. Today it is an important crossroads for hikers, mountain bikers and other nature lovers.
