Tain l'Hermitage

Description

In het oude centrum zijn diverse sporen van lokale geschiedenis bewaard gebleven. U vindt er in de kleine straatjes charmante gebouwen waaraan het verleden is af te lezen en diverse wijnkelders waar u de beroemde wijnen, Hermitage en Crozes Hermitage, kunt proeven. Here are just a few of the buildings to explore on a stroll: the former 15th century salt storehouse with its wachtower, the Courbis mansion and its beautiful Renaissance courtyard, now home to the Palué Museum, a Taurobolic altar that will take you back to the ancient origins of the town, while the remains of a medieval gateway will take you back to the 12th century fortified town.
French history made a stopover at Tain l'Hermitage in the 14th century, when the royal wedding of Charles V in the church of Notre Dame de Tain sealed the union of the Dauphiné with France.
Other monuments such as the Marc Seguin suspension bridge and the Chapelle de Larnage still bear witness to the historic technical and social advances that were made here in the 19th century.
You'll end your visit with a nostalgic stroll along the legendary Route Nationale 7, so celebrated by the Fou Chantant, an eternal holiday tune...
