Old and new bridge side by side - what a contrast!

Hello everyone, Please note that the footbridge crossing the Rhône between Tournon and Tain is closed until November 28th due to ongoing construction. You must use the motorway bridge 500m away… it's much less pleasant.

The Marc Seguin Suspension Bridge in Tournon-sur-Rhône is a 19th-century engineering masterpiece and one of the oldest suspension bridges in Europe. A stroll over the Rhône offers impressive views of the river and the surrounding vineyards. Tournon's old town boasts charming alleyways, historic buildings, and a Renaissance palace. Wine lovers can sample local wines from the Cornas and Saint-Joseph regions. The combination of engineering, nature, and history makes this place an unforgettable experience. By the way, cycling is prohibited and police patrol the area!

The Tournon-sur-Rhône War Memorial impressively commemorates the fallen of both World Wars. It is centrally located in the old town, near the Rhône River and the castle. The bronze figure and delicate reliefs convey quiet dignity and gratitude. A brief stop is worthwhile for history buffs and strollers alike.
