Guided historical tour of Savigny

The Benedictine abbey of Saint Martin de Savigny is documented from the early years of the 9th century. It played a leading role in the medieval history of the Lyonnais region until the 16th century and was suppressed shortly before the French Revolution.

The guided tour for groups allows you to discover the remains of the abbey: the lapidary museum (which houses around a hundred listed sculptures), the clock tower (panoramic view of the village and the region), the houses of dignitaries (abbot, chamberlain, cellarer), the location of the cloister and the abbey church, the rampart path, but also the Saint Andrew church and trompe-l'œil painted decorations on some of the village facades.

Welcoming school groups from cycle 2 to higher education.
Welcoming adult groups.
The visit can also be done individually.
