The Gimond dam was built in 1925 to supply water to the town of Chazelles-sur-Lyon and support the millinery industries. It is now a place of relaxation and stroll for walkers but also a place well known to fishermen.

Saint-Symphorien-sur-Coise

Highlight • Settlement

Located on the old Aquitaine road that linked Lyon to Bordeaux, Saint-Symphorien became an important place in the 11th century when the Counts of Forez built their castle there, which later became the collegiate church. Even today, you can discover the remains of the fortifications that overlook the city. Saint-Symphorien has been able to exploit its geographical position during the development of industries, as evidenced by the industrial wasteland of the Tanneries. The city is part of the Most Beautiful Detours of France and is crossed by the way of Saint-Jacques-de-Compostelle. Its typical architecture with half-timbered houses, and its sausage make it a stop not to be missed.
