La Roche de Glun

Description

Once a fisherman's village, now an islet! Traditional fishermen's stone cottages and listed monuments, history has left some memorable sites in the old village centre on the banks of the River Rhône. Two listed historic monuments in the heart of the village: the Tour Diane de Poitiers and the Porte Roussillon. Other curiosities: lime kilns outside the village center, the Tour de Plomb overlooking the center (private monument), potters' workshops. The Bassin des Musards offers a walking trail, a children's playground, fishing and jousting tournaments. Since the construction of the CNR dam on the Rhône, La Roche de Glun has been surrounded by the river and canal: it's now an island!
