Cloister of the Cordeliers Convent

Highlight • Religious Site

Site to discover in ticket coupled with the Benedictine abbey of Charlieu.
The two visits complement each other. This place is worth above all for its magnificent cloister with capitals decorated with animal heads.

This bike path runs along what was once an old railway line. It offers several kilometers of cycle path parallel to the Loire River.

A bit south of the church under a linden tree, 180 degree view to the east. Unbeatable with evening light!
