The site features the remains of fortifications dating from the 11th to the 19th centuries. The former castle of the Lords of Loyes (ruins of the Château de la Pie), the modern castle, the formal garden, and the kitchen garden are all visible. In the 18th century, major work was carried out on the Château de Loyes, but a fire destroyed the tops of the towers and the roof. In 1840, renovations were undertaken, including the construction of outbuildings, a woodshed/cellar, and stables. At the end of the 19th century, a church was built, dividing the castle mound in two. The castle entrance was modified at the end of the 19th century, along with the neo-Gothic wall. The garden, originally laid out in the early 18th century, was modernized by Luizet and Barret at the end of the 19th century; a landscaped garden was added to the formal garden. The castle mound is accessible via a footpath. Inside, a 17th-century staircase with ramps is adorned with the coats of arms of its various owners, painted in the 19th century. https://pop.culture.gouv.fr/notice/merimee/PA01000030

A beautiful 19th-century Cistercian abbey built in a remarkable brick style. Don't hesitate to make a short detour to see it. The church and atrium are free to visit. It is closed on Tuesdays. A local produce shop is located at the entrance to the abbey, featuring cheeses and apple products made on the abbey farm—a great way to recharge your batteries!

I confirm, friends went there this week and loved it. The restaurant changed ownership this year and it’s even better than before according to my friends. I can't wait to go there and see it.

Notre-Dame des Dombes Abbey, founded in the 1860s by the Cistercians. Worth the detour. Free visit to the church.

Ranked among the most beautiful villages in France, Pérouges offers you a trip to the Middle Ages. The tourist activities between April and August will allow you to see the city from another angle. Between history and terroir, this city of character 30 kilometers from Lyon will not leave you insensitive with its medieval and authentic charm. Before leaving, don't forget to taste the local speciality: the Peruvian pancake, the unmissable sugar pie.
