Mercurol

Beschreibung

La Tour, der einzige Überrest einer feudalen Burg, dominiert das Dorf, von wo aus man ein herrliches Panorama des Rhônetals bis hin zum Vercors bewundern kann. Die Gemeinde wird von der Weinstraße durchquert, auf der Sie die Weine der Appellation Crozes-Hermitage entdecken können. The heritage of Mercurol:
The tower: it was built at the end of the 10th century. The site has belonged to the commune since 1996.
The communal oven: In the 16th century, Seigneur Pierre de Claveyson had an oven built for his employees at his château in Blanchelaine.
In 2009, Mr Dard and Mr Ribo, winegrowers in Mercurol, donated the remains of the oven to the commune.
The church of Saint Anne: The church of Saint Anne stands proudly in the centre of the village! To visit it, climb the route des Pends.
Built around 1520, it was partly demolished and enlarged in 1820.
The Chapelle Saint Pierre: If you follow the "Heritage Trail", you'll come across the Chapelle Saint-Pierre!
It was built at the end of the 10th century.

There are a number of colour-coded signposted routes, ranging from 2 to 18 km in length, enabling you to discover the village in a different way, through the richness of its landscapes as they change with the seasons.
