サンジェルマンレスピナスのおすすめランニングルート

The beautiful medieval village has preserved many architectural treasures from its past, as evidenced by its ramparts, round towers, mansions and picturesque half-timbered houses. To visit: the charming Romanesque church which contains old murals. Also not to be missed, admire the beautiful facades of the Hôtel Pelletier and the house of the sundial.

Along with Saint-Jean-Saint-Maurice-sur-Loire, Ambierle, Charlieu and Le Crozet, Saint-Haon-le-Châtel is one of the five villages in Roanne labeled "Village of character in the Loire". Like the commune of Saint-Jean-Saint-Maurice-sur-Loire, the Way of Saint-Jacques-de-Compostelle crosses Saint-Haon-le Châtel.

If it weren't for the traffic signs in this beautiful little town, you would think you were in the Middle Ages. Great old buildings, winding streets, an old castle complex and a beautiful local church.

A true picture book village. Here one photo motif chases the next!

Castle and outbuildings. A nice castle.

Noteworthy: the 12th-century church of Saint-Eustache (with a small cemetery behind it), the fortifications from the 12th century, the manor house La Fleur de Lys and the Pelletier house.

If you are on the Way of St. James, you should definitely stay overnight in Saint-Haon-Le-Châtel.
