With its colorful facades on the banks of the Loire, Roanne exudes a touch of Dolce Vita.

The 17th-century Château de la Roche, with its tower and keep, is the landmark of the Loire Gorge. Its atypical location in the heart of the Loire River makes it an exceptional sight.

The town hall is a historic building serving the town's residents. At the suggestion of the Duke of Persigny, the mayor of Roanne, Charles Boullier, decided to build a new town hall for the entire population. Work began in 1865 and was completed in 1874. A delay occurred due to the war of 1870. Today, the town hall houses the various municipal and state departments, as well as council chambers.

Roanne's Municipal Theater is a jewel in the heart of the city! A symbol of Roanne's tourism, it remains a vibrant cultural center today. Built in 1883 under the direction of the architect Barberot, the new municipal theater opened in 1885 with a performance of Rossini's The Barber of Seville. Its beautiful Italian-style hall hosts different shows each season, offering cultural exposure to all.

The Saint-Etienne Church shines entirely in golden yellow and pink stones. It is the oldest parish in Roanne. The church was built around 1343 and destroyed several times throughout history. The building visible today dates back to the late 19th century. However, remnants of various constructions remain, and the primitive architecture blends harmoniously with the new neo-Gothic elements. Don't miss the church's organ, which was once installed in the choir of Notre-Dame de Paris Cathedral.
