Sanctuaire d'Ars & Trévoux ville d'Art et d'Histoire

The small Dombes village of Ars-sur-Formans owes its worldwide renown to the “patron saint of all priests in the world”: Jean-Marie Vianney, Saint Curé d’Ars (1789-1859). Just a few kilometers away, Trévoux, which has the “Pays d’Art et d’Histoire” and “Plus beaux Détours de France” labels, became the capital of the principality of Dombes in the 16th century… Discover these two must-see Dombes villages!

The Ain (also) makes others happy!

The Ain is one of the most attractive nature destinations! As the seasons go by, the region reveals itself from many different angles, each offering an authentic immersion in the heart of vast open spaces.

The Ain is ideal for outdoor activities, but also for exploring its terroir, gourmet delights and typical restaurants where Bresse poultry rubs shoulders with PDO butter and cream. More than just a gourmet’s delight, the Ain is also a land of contemplation, with its preserved natural heritage and a destination rich in discovery and history…

Here we go: discover the Ain!
