At first glance, the passing visitor may wonder “Lagnieu, can you visit?” Indeed, there is no obvious historic center here. However, from the Middle Ages to the Disco years, things happened in Lagnieu! And this History can still be seen today, through almost erased details, discreet buildings or forgotten anecdotes that the guide will be happy to point out, reveal and tell you. A visit that will surprise you!

A stroll through the city center, following in the footsteps of a vanished past, which begins with the astonishing discovery of the beautiful wall paintings of the Château de Montferrand. Carefully restored recently, the walls here tell another story, another era, when Lagnieu was part of an important public life.

A visit that puts the adage "true beauty is inside" into perspective!

An urban stroll that dismantles preconceived ideas and thus transforms our view of a today modernized city center, pieces of history in small discreet pieces of past.
