The Château de Rochetaillée-sur-Saône sits on a hill high above the city and the river. The castle was built in the 12th century, became state property after the French Revolution in 1790 and gradually fell into disrepair. In 1892, Pierre Claude Bellingard carried out a first restoration. With the takeover of the castle in 1902, Jean Joseph Clerc restored the castle and expanded it into a chateau. In 1959, Henry Malartre acquired the castle and set up the Musée Henri Malartre automobile museum in it.

Cité Administrative Grüner

Highlight • Monument

In 2010, Saint-Étienne was recognized by UNESCO as a City of Design and has since become a member of the UNESCO Creative Cities Network.

As a City of Design, Saint-Étienne has built many administrative buildings in an exceptionally modern style. Parisian architect Manuelle Gautrand was commissioned to design this building.

The city's tax office is housed here, among other buildings.
